[PATCH v4 0/3] rev-list: add support for commits in `--missing`

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

 



The `--missing` option in git-rev-list(1) was introduced intitally
to deal with missing blobs in the context of promissory notes.
Eventually the option was extended to also support tree objects in
7c0fe330d5 (rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly,2018-10-05).

This patch series extends the `--missing` option to also add support for
commit objects. We do this by introducing a new flag `MISSING` which is
added whenever we encounter a missing commit during traversal. Then in
`builtin/rev-list` we check for this flag and take the appropriate
action based on the `--missing=*` option used.

This series is an alternate to the patch series I had posted earlier:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230908174208.249184-1-karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx/.
In that patch, we introduced an option `--ignore-missing-links` which
was added to expose the `ignore_missing_links` bit to the user. The
issue in that patch was that, the option `--ignore-missing-links` didn't
play well the pre-existing `--missing` option. This series avoids that
route and just extends the `--missing` option for commits to solve the
same problem.

V3 of the series can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20231019121024.194317-1-karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx/T/#mf6a442e06f323a78a45af086ddd353998bab0052

Changes from v3:
- Instead of using flags on the object level as in the previous vesrions, we
add and use a missing_objects oidset in rev_info. This avoids flag bit-collision
since we were using an existing bit and doesn't require extending the flag size
as done in v3. 

Changelog vs v3:

1:  8c469cf479 = 1:  8c469cf479 revision: rename bit to `do_not_die_on_missing_objects`
2:  76ce43d973 = 2:  76ce43d973 rev-list: move `show_commit()` to the bottom
