| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which assigns the following schedule: * gc: never * prefetch: hourly * commit-graph: hourly * loose-objects: daily * incremental-repack: daily These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git commands and use few compute resources. The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled' and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta" config options that change default config values. This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly and no other tasks by default.

| * maintenance: add --schedule option and configDerrick Stolee2020-09-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintenance currently triggers when certain data-size thresholds are met, such as number of pack-files or loose objects. Users may want to run certain maintenance tasks based on frequency instead. For example, a user may want to perform a 'prefetch' task every hour, or 'gc' task every day. To help these users, update the 'git maintenance run' command to include a '--schedule=<frequency>' option. The allowed frequencies are 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly'. These values are also allowed in a new config value 'maintenance.<task>.schedule'. The 'git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>' checks the '*.schedule' config value for each enabled task to see if the configured frequency is at least as frequent as the frequency from the '--schedule' argument. We use the following order, for full clarity: 'hourly' > 'daily' > 'weekly' Use new 'enum schedule_priority' to track these values numerically. The following cron table would run the scheduled tasks with the correct frequencies: 0 1-23 * * * git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=hourly 0 0 * * 1-6 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=daily 0 0 * * 0 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=weekly This cron schedule will run --schedule=hourly every hour except at midnight. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=daily that runs at midnight every day except the first day of the week. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=weekly that runs at midnight on the first day of the week. Since --schedule=daily also runs the 'hourly' tasks and --schedule=weekly runs the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks, we will still see all tasks run with the proper frequencies.

| * maintenance: optionally skip --auto processDerrick Stolee2020-09-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some commands run 'git maintenance run --auto --[no-]quiet' after doing their normal work, as a way to keep repositories clean as they are used. Currently, users who do not want this maintenance to occur would set the 'gc.auto' config option to 0 to avoid the 'gc' task from running. However, this does not stop the extra process invocation. On Windows, this extra process invocation can be more expensive than necessary. Allow users to drop this extra process by setting 'maintenance.auto' to 'false'.

Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a definite nor indefinite article. Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`. First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or definite article consistently. The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates, 2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add --signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent. Junio stated on the git mailing list in <xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option help strings. Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such, prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits. However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in comparison with Signed-off-by.

This incremental repack is faster than rewriting all object data, but is slower than some other maintenance activities. The 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' config option specifies how many pack-files should exist outside of the multi-pack-index before running the step. These pack-files could be created by 'git fetch' commands or by the loose-objects task. The default value is 10. Setting the option to zero disables the task with the '--auto' option, and a negative value makes the task run every time.

If a user wishes to use the multi-pack-index feature, then they must enable this config and run 'git multi-pack-index write'. The multi-pack-index feature is relatively stable now, so make the config option true by default. For users that do not use a multi-pack-index, the only extra cost will be a file lookup to see if a multi-pack-index file exists (once per process, per object directory). Also, this config option will be referenced by an upcoming "incremental-repack" task in the maintenance builtin, so move the config option into the repository settings struct. Note that if GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1, then we want to ignore the config option and treat core.multiPackIndex as enabled.

If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum number of objects to justify the task. The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto' option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value will force it to run every time.

This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures when attempting to format an ancient patch: $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit> fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration, not on the command line). We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base, as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include the base information when it was requested. Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However, if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue formatting the patch without a base commit. In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base, do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable. Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on the global configuration variable auto_base. This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit. This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to continue the format. Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

More widespread use turned up a regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via 4fa3f00abb (fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK, 2020-04-27), but we also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in 11c7f2a30b (Revert "fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22). In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with 3697caf4b9 (config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20) and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months, but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version manually for ages. Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are still lurking bugs, but we won't know until it gets more widespread use. And we can find and squash them just like any other bug at this point.

This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out, or in the event of an incident. Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both: - 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters. - The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently. When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the commit-graph internals.

Traditionally, administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level filtering. In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by administrators. However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a '--filter=tree:none' choice. While it would be sufficient to simply write $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true (since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than some pre-specified maximum. In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows: $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m> where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter 'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can write: $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0 which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to 'true' or 'false', respectively. However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the server). Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables: - 'uploadpackfilter.allow' - 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow' where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on. Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of '<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object filter. If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from 'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter' capability is advertised.

This improves the performance of various commands that would perform a revision walk and eventually ought to be the default for everyone. To prepare for that future, it's enabled by default for users that set feature.experimental=true to experience such future defaults. Alas, for --unshallow fetches from a shallow clone it runs into a snag: by the time Git has fetched the new objects and is writing a commit graph, it has performed a revision walk and r->parsed_objects contains information about the shallow boundary from *before* the fetch. The commit graph writing code is careful to avoid writing a commit graph file in shallow repositories, but the new state is not shallow, and the result is that from that point on, commands like "git log" make use of a newly written commit graph file representing a fictional history with the old shallow boundary. We could fix this by making the commit graph writing code more careful to avoid writing a commit graph that could have used any grafts or shallow state, but it is possible that there are other pieces of mutated state that fetch's commit graph writing code may be relying on. So disable it in the feature.experimental configuration. Google developers have been running in this configuration (by setting fetch.writeCommitGraph=false in the system config) to work around this bug since it was discovered in April. Once the fix lands, we'll enable fetch.writeCommitGraph=true again to give it some early testing before rolling out to a wider audience. In other words: - this patch only affects behavior with feature.experimental=true - it makes feature.experimental match the configuration Google has been using for the last few months, meaning it would leave users in a better tested state than without it - this should improve testing for other features guarded by feature.experimental, by making feature.experimental safer to use Reported-by: Jay Conrod <jayconrod@google.com> Helped-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
