[PATCH, take 2] Linear-time/space rename logic (exact renames only)

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

 



Ok, as some people notices, there were a few bugs in the previous patch. I 
didn't free the hashes correctly (stupid) and the Makefile had "hash.o" 
instead of "hash.h".

But more importantly, my "testing" had been totally broken, because I had 
forgotten to actually move the rename limiting code to after the exact 
rename phase, so when I tested the 100,000 file rename, almost none of the 
new code triggered, so my performance testing was totally bogus.

When fixing that, I noticed that while my new exact rename detection was 
essentially instantaneous, there were some O(n*m) effects in the generic 
diff code from the extremely stupid way we handled the "was it a copy or a 
rename" issue.

To fix that, I just made the "was the path used by a rename" be a counter 
instead of a single "it was used"

With that in place, I could actually time the rename detection of 100,000 
files in my big-rename test repository. This is what it looks like when 
you rename a hundred thousand files:

	[torvalds@woody big-rename]$ time ~/git/git show -C | wc -l
	400006

	real    0m2.675s
	user    0m2.148s
	sys     0m0.540s

(each renamed file is 4 lines: they looks like

	diff --git a/really-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1 b/moved-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1
	similarity index 100%
	rename from really-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1
	rename to moved-big-dir/file-1-1-1-1-1

and the extra six lines is from a one-liner commit message and all the 
commit information and spacing).

So two seconds to do that exact rename detection.

Now, I can't really compare it to the "before" stage, because that is just 
so horrible. The rename detection limit triggers, so you never even get 
any renames, but if I were to move the limit check later (like I do in 
this patch) without my other fixes, it would take hours. Trying to do ten 
billion (100k x 100k) SHA1 and pathname compares simply isn't going to 
work.

But I *can* compare it to the old code *with* the rename limiting, which 
still wastes all the time on the whole "copy usage" crap. So here are the 
numbers on that repo without the patch:

	[torvalds@woody big-rename]$ time git show -C | wc -l
	1400006
	
	real    0m12.383s
	user    0m12.365s
	sys     0m0.160s

That's right: we used to take 12 seconds and not even do renames (now you 
see fourteen lines per file moved: seven lines each for the delete and the 
create of a one-liner file, and the same extra six lines of commit 
information).

So it not only makes the rename detection possible in the first place, it 
removes some stupid code that made it take a long time even when it 
failed!

Now, I'd still be careful with this patch, and I'd really like people to 
double-check all my logic, but I think it's worthy of some 'pu' love.
