[PATCH v2 0/7] Sparse index: integrate with 'git stash'

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

 



This series, in combination with the sparse index integrations of reset [1],
update-index [2], checkout-index [2], clean [2], and read-tree [3], allows
most subcommands of 'git stash' to use the sparse index end-to-end without
index expansion.

Like the earlier series, this series starts with new tests ensuring
compatibility of the sparse index with non-sparse index full and sparse
checkouts [1/7]. Next, sparse index is trivially enabled [2/7].
Functionally, sparse index-enabled sparse-checkouts remain compatible with
non-sparse index sparse-checkouts, but there are still some cases where the
index (or a temporary index) is expanded unnecessarily. These cases are
fixed in three parts:

 * First, 'git stash -u' is made sparse index-compatible by ensuring the
   "temporary" index holding the stashed, untracked files is created as a
   sparse index whenever possible (per repo settings &
   'is_sparse_index_allowed()'). Patch [3/7] exposes
   'is_sparse_index_allowed()' to files outside of 'sparse-index.c', then
   patch [4/7] uses that function to mark the temporary index sparse when
   appropriate.
 * Next, 'git stash (apply|pop)' are made sparse index-compatible by
   changing their internal "merge" function (executed via
   'merge_recursive_generic()') from 'merge_recursive()' to
   'merge_ort_recursive()'. This requires first allowing
   'merge_recursive_generic()' to accept a merge function as an input
   (rather than hardcoding use of 'merge_recursive()') in patch [5/7], then
   changing the call in 'stash.c' to specify 'merge_ort_recursive()' in
   patch [6/7]. See note [4] for possible alternate implementations.
 * Finally, while patches 5 & 6 avoid index expansion for most cases of 'git
   stash (apply|pop)', applying a stash that includes untracked files still
   expands the index. This is a result of an internal 'read-tree' execution
   (specifically in its 'unpack_trees' call) creating a result index that is
   never sparse in-core, thus forcing the index to be unnecessarily
   collapsed and re-expanded in 'do_write_locked_index()'. In patch [7/7],
   'unpack_trees' is updated to set the default sparsity of the resultant
   index to "sparse" if allowed by repo settings and
   'is_sparse_index_allowed()' (similar to the change in patch 4).

Performance results (from the 'p2000' tests):

Changes since V1
================

 * Added quotes to the "$WITHOUT_UNTRACKED_TXT" when testing for it in
   'ensure_not_expanded' (in 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh')
 * Moved the 'stash' test in 't1092' elsewhere in the file, so that it
   doesn't conflict (even trivially) with the also-in-flight 'git show'
   integration
 * Moved the 'ensure_not_expended' tests for 'checkout-index' back to
   original location

[4] I went with changing 'stash' to always use 'merge-ort' in
'merge_recursive_generic()' as a sort of "middle ground" between "replace
'merge_recursive()' with 'merge_ort_recursive()' in all of its hardcoded
internal usage" and "only use 'merge-ort' if using a sparse index in 'git
stash', otherwise 'merge-recursive'". The former would extend the use of
'merge-ort' to 'git am' and 'git merge-recursive', whereas the latter is a
more cautious/narrowly-focused option. If anyone has any other thoughts, I'm
interested in hearing them.

Thanks!
