p5303: measure time to repack with keep Add two new tests to measure repack performance. Both tests split the repository into synthetic "pushes", and then leave the remaining objects in a big base pack. The first new test marks an empty pack as "kept" and then passes --honor-pack-keep to avoid including objects in it. That doesn't change the resulting pack, but it does let us compare to the normal repack case to see how much overhead we add to check whether objects are kept or not. The other test is of --stdin-packs, which gives us a sense of how that number scales based on the number of packs we provide as input. In each of those tests, the empty pack isn't considered, but the residual pack (objects that were left over and not included in one of the synthetic push packs) is marked as kept. (Note that in the single-pack case of the --stdin-packs test, there is nothing do since there are no non-excluded packs). Here are some timings on a recent clone of the kernel: 5303.5: repack (1) 57.26(54.59+10.84) 5303.6: repack with kept (1) 57.33(54.80+10.51) in the 50-pack case, things start to slow down: 5303.11: repack (50) 71.54(88.57+4.84) 5303.12: repack with kept (50) 85.12(102.05+4.94) and by the time we hit 1,000 packs, things are substantially worse, even though the resulting pack produced is the same: 5303.17: repack (1000) 216.87(490.79+14.57) 5303.18: repack with kept (1000) 665.63(938.87+15.76) That's because the code paths around handling .keep files are known to scale badly; they look in every single pack file to find each object. Our solution to that was to notice that most repos don't have keep files, and to make that case a fast path. But as soon as you add a single .keep, that part of pack-objects slows down again (even if we have fewer objects total to look at). Likewise, the scaling is pretty extreme on --stdin-packs (but each subsequent test is also being asked to do more work): 5303.7: repack with --stdin-packs (1) 0.01(0.01+0.00) 5303.13: repack with --stdin-packs (50) 3.53(12.07+0.24) 5303.19: repack with --stdin-packs (1000) 195.83(371.82+8.10) Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.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-<commandname>.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://lore.kernel.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):
