From 5c9f9bf313e872934c9b4563b7b0bcdedb39eb86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2016 03:07:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n" If you ask rev-list for: git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster, which is good. But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like: git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the real answer, so we gave it to you. But there's something much more complicated going on under the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our `-n` count. This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for `-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might get many values: - your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits) - the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit - any number in between! We might have walked back and found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal early with some commits not accounted for in the result. So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say "OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count". The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not. The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`. Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work. I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the full-count case, which we do cover.
