revision: use generation for A..B --topo-order queries If a commit-graph exists with computed generation numbers, then a 'git rev-list --topo-order -n <N> <rev>' query will use those generation numbers to reduce the number of commits walked before writing N commits. One caveat put in b454241 (revision.c: generation-based topo-order algorithm, 2018-11-01) was to not enable the new algorithm for queries with a revision range "A..B". The logic was placed to walk from "A" and mark those commits as uninteresting, but the performance was actually worse than the existing logic in some cases. The root cause of this performance degradation is that generation numbers _increase_ the number of commits we walk relative to the existing heuristic of walking by commit date. While generation numbers actually guarantee that the algorithm is correct, the existing logic is very rarely wrong and that added requirement is not worth the cost. This motivates the planned "corrected commit date" to replace generation numbers in a future version of Git. The current change enables the logic to use whatever reachability index is currently in the commit-graph (generation numbers or corrected commit date). The limited flag in struct rev_info forces a full walk of the commit history (after discovering the A..B range). Previosuly, it is enabled whenever we see an uninteresting commit. We prevent enabling the parameter when we are planning to use the reachability index for a topo-order.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
