From 2a0925be3512451834ec9a3e023f4cff23c1cfb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:05:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Make path-limiting be incremental when possible. This makes git-rev-list able to do path-limiting without having to parse all of history before it starts showing the results. This makes things like "git log -- pathname" much more pleasant to use. This is actually a pretty small patch, and the biggest part of it is purely cleanups (turning the "goto next" statements into "continue"), but it's conceptually a lot bigger than it looks. What it does is that if you do a path-limited revision list, and you do _not_ ask for pseudo-parenthood information, it won't do all the path-limiting up-front, but instead do it incrementally in "get_revision()". This is an absolutely huge deal for anything like "git log -- ", but also for some things that we don't do yet - like the "find where things changed" logic I've described elsewhere, where we want to find the previous revision that changed a file. The reason I put "RFC" in the subject line is that while I've validated it various ways, like doing git-rev-list HEAD -- drivers/char/ | md5sum before-and-after on the kernel archive, it's "git-rev-list" after all. In other words, it's that really really subtle and complex central piece of software. So while I think this is important and should go in asap, I also think it should get lots of testing and eyeballs looking at the code. Btw, don't even bother testing this with the git archive. git itself is so small that parsing the whole revision history for it takes about a second even with path limiting. The thing that _really_ shows this off is doing git log drivers/ on the kernel archive, or even better, on the _historic_ kernel archive. With this change, the response is instantaneous (although seeking to the end of the result will obviously take as long as it ever did). Before this change, the command would think about the result for tens of seconds - or even minutes, in the case of the bigger old kernel archive - before starting to output the results. NOTE NOTE NOTE! Using path limiting with things like "gitk", which uses the "--parents" flag to actually generate a pseudo-history of the resulting commits won't actually see the improvement in interactivity, since that forces git-rev-list to do the whole-history thing after all. MAYBE we can fix that too at some point, but I won't promise anything.
