Add get_merge_bases_clean(), a wrapper for get_merge_bases() that cleans
up after doing its work and make get_merge_bases() NOT clean up.
Single-shot programs like git-merge-base can use the dirty and fast

This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.
This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.
It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:
blobs: 627629 (14710 kB)
trees: 1119035 (34969 kB)
commits: 196423 (8440 kB)
tags: 1336 (46 kB)
and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.
[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.
Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).
I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
need to.
So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
amount. ]

Every single user actually wanted this only for commit objects, and we
have no reason to waste space on it for other object types. So just move
the structure member from the low-level "struct object" into the "struct
commit".
This leaves the commit object the same size, and removes one unnecessary
pointer from all other object allocations.
This shrinks memory usage (still at a fairly hefty half-gig, admittedly)
of "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla repo by another 5% in my
tests.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

As pointed out on the list, git-rev-list can use a lot of memory.
One low-hanging fruit is to free the commit buffer for commits that we
parse. By default, parse_commit() will save away the buffer, since a lot
of cases do want it, and re-reading it continually would be unnecessary.
However, in many cases the buffer isn't actually necessary and saving it
just wastes memory.
We could just free the buffer ourselves, but especially in git-rev-list,
we actually end up using the helper functions that automatically add
parent commits to the commit lists, so we don't actually control the
commit parsing directly.
Instead, just make this behaviour of "parse_commit()" a global flag.
Maybe this is a bit tasteless, but it's very simple, and it makes a
noticable difference in memory usage.

The 'git show-branches' command turns out to be reasonably useful,
but painfully slow. So rewrite it in C, using ideas from merge-base
while enhancing it a bit more.
- Unlike show-branches, it can take --heads (show me all my
heads), --tags (show me all my tags), or --all (both).
- It can take --more=<number> to show beyond the merge-base.
- It shows the short name for each commit in the extended SHA1
syntax.
- It can find merge-base for more than two heads.
Examples:
$ git show-branch --more=6 HEAD
is almost the same as "git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=6".
$ git show-branch --merge-base master mhf misc
finds the merge base of the three given heads.
$ git show-branch master mhf misc
shows logs from the top of these three branch heads, up to their
common ancestor commit is shown.
$ git show-branch --all --more=10
is poor-man's gitk, showing all the tags and heads, and
going back 10 commits beyond the merge base of those refs.

repeatedly until we get a non-tag.
This patch makes change to two functions:
- commit.c::lookup_commit_reference() is used by merge-base,
rev-tree and rev-parse to convert user supplied SHA1 to that of
a commit.
- rev-list uses its own get_commit_reference() to do the same.

The invariant that applies to the resulting list is:

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---

|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3

| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /

Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:

^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
