[PATCH 2/2] Fix the rename detection limit checking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds more proper rename detection limits. Instead of just checking 
the limit against the number of potential rename destinations, we verify 
that the rename matrix (which is what really matters) doesn't grow 
ridiculously large, and we also make sure that we don't overflow when 
doing the matrix size calculation.

This also changes the default limits from unlimited, to a rename matrix 
that is limited to 100 entries on a side. You can raise it with the config 
entry, or by using the "-l<n>" command line flag, but at least the default 
is now a sane number that avoids spending lots of time (and memory) in 
situations that likely don't merit it.

The choice of default value is of course very debatable. Limiting the 
rename matrix to a 100x100 size will mean that even if you have just one 
obvious rename, but you also create (or delete) 10,000 files, the rename 
matrix will be so big that we disable the heuristics. Sounds reasonable to 
me, but let's see if people hit this (and, perhaps more importantly, 
actually *care*) in real life.

Due to the overflow issue (and yes, Dmitry's test-case actually triggered 
an overflow even on 64-bit machines, because the math was done on "int" 
types), I really think this was a real bug.

Now, whether this is necessarily the right way to fix it, I dunno, but it 
also *does* fix the old broken limit handling that was based just on the 
number of target files, and didn't take the number of potential source 
files into account.

But the fix to that logic also means that the meaning of "-l<n>" changes 
subtly. For the better, I think, but changes nonetheless.

I'd also like to apologize to the change in wt-status.c, but that code 
doesn't use the regular diffopt setup logic, so it really is a special 
case and needs to be handled as such. Do we want to teach "git runstatus" 
to actually honor command line flags for diff generation etc? That's a 
separate question, this patch just makes it use the same rename default as 
the normal diffs now do.
