Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index. Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a "cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search, but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting. No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket. That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper. Guiding principles behind this patch: - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I did succeed, but only barely: Best before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.255s user 0m0.168s sys 0m0.088s Best after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.233s user 0m0.144s sys 0m0.088s so some things are actually faster (~8%). Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite frankly, few things really use it to look things up. That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it. Before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.016s user 0m0.016s sys 0m0.000s After: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.021s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.008s and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that really should be pretty much the worst case. So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good. - It should be simple and clean The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details. Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even without any insane filesystems). NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

static void replace_index_entry(struct index_state *istate, int nr, struct cache_entry *ce)
{
struct cache_entry *old = istate->cache[nr];
remove_name_hash(old);
Fix name re-hashing semantics We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly, which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged state). We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines didn't handle it on their own. So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that involves: - clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup (which is really all that UNHASHED meant) - if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly, even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list) - if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list - otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length could change), so that's not a new limitation. The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and isn't actually marked hashed!).

"Assume unchanged" git This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list discussion recently: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org> This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat() that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID. But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people who asked for this feature. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Racy GIT This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty much there from the beginning of time, but was first demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113014629716878 If you run the following sequence of commands: echo frotz >infocom git update-index --add infocom echo xyzzy >infocom so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem (owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string "frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation. Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting until the next second before returning from update-index if a cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution. Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue, but still it is disturbing. The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file update must happen within the same second to trigger the problem.

Racy GIT This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty much there from the beginning of time, but was first demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113014629716878 If you run the following sequence of commands: echo frotz >infocom git update-index --add infocom echo xyzzy >infocom so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem (owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string "frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation. Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting until the next second before returning from update-index if a cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution. Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue, but still it is disturbing. The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file update must happen within the same second to trigger the problem.

"Assume unchanged" git This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list discussion recently: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org> This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat() that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting until the next second before returning from update-index if a cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution. Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue, but still it is disturbing. The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file update must happen within the same second to trigger the problem.

"Assume unchanged" git This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list discussion recently: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org> This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat() that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index. Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a "cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search, but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting. No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket. That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper. Guiding principles behind this patch: - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I did succeed, but only barely: Best before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.255s user 0m0.168s sys 0m0.088s Best after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.233s user 0m0.144s sys 0m0.088s so some things are actually faster (~8%). Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite frankly, few things really use it to look things up. That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it. Before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.016s user 0m0.016s sys 0m0.000s After: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.021s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.008s and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that really should be pretty much the worst case. So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good. - It should be simple and clean The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details. Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even without any insane filesystems). NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contents Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"Assume unchanged" git This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list discussion recently: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org> This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat() that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID. But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people who asked for this feature. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index. Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a "cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search, but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting. No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket. That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper. Guiding principles behind this patch: - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I did succeed, but only barely: Best before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.255s user 0m0.168s sys 0m0.088s Best after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.233s user 0m0.144s sys 0m0.088s so some things are actually faster (~8%). Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite frankly, few things really use it to look things up. That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it. Before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.016s user 0m0.016s sys 0m0.000s After: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.021s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.008s and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that really should be pretty much the worst case. So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good. - It should be simple and clean The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details. Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even without any insane filesystems). NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index. Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a "cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search, but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting. No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket. That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper. Guiding principles behind this patch: - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I did succeed, but only barely: Best before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.255s user 0m0.168s sys 0m0.088s Best after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.233s user 0m0.144s sys 0m0.088s so some things are actually faster (~8%). Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite frankly, few things really use it to look things up. That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it. Before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.016s user 0m0.016s sys 0m0.000s After: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null real 0m0.021s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.008s and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that really should be pretty much the worst case. So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good. - It should be simple and clean The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details. Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even without any insane filesystems). NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.
