midx: add packs to packed_git linked list The multi-pack-index allows searching for objects across multiple packs using one object list. The original design gains many of these performance benefits by keeping the packs in the multi-pack-index out of the packed_git list. Unfortunately, this has one major drawback. If the multi-pack-index covers thousands of packs, and a command loads many of those packs, then we can hit the limit for open file descriptors. The close_one_pack() method is used to limit this resource, but it only looks at the packed_git list, and uses an LRU cache to prevent thrashing. Instead of complicating this close_one_pack() logic to include direct references to the multi-pack-index, simply add the packs opened by the multi-pack-index to the packed_git list. This immediately solves the file-descriptor limit problem, but requires some extra steps to avoid performance issues or other problems: 1. Create a multi_pack_index bit in the packed_git struct that is one if and only if the pack was loaded from a multi-pack-index. 2. Skip packs with the multi_pack_index bit when doing object lookups and abbreviations. These algorithms already check the multi-pack-index before the packed_git struct. This has a very small performance hit, as we need to walk more packed_git structs. This is acceptable, since these operations run binary search on the other packs, so this walk-and-ignore logic is very fast by comparison. 3. When closing a multi-pack-index file, do not close its packs, as those packs will be closed using close_all_packs(). In some cases, such as 'git repack', we run 'close_midx()' without also closing the packs, so we need to un-set the multi_pack_index bit in those packs. This is necessary, and caught by running t6501-freshen-objects.sh with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1. To manually test this change, I inserted trace2 logging into close_pack_fd() and set pack_max_fds to 10, then ran 'git rev-list --all --objects' on a copy of the Git repo with 300+ pack-files and a multi-pack-index. The logs verified the packs are closed as we read them beyond the file descriptor limit. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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):
