There should be no particularly significant change: the answers should

executable files etc.) may be handled better, even.

git-debrebase: Actually avoid read-tree in walk when not rewriting

See
   git-debrebase: Prep for avoid read-tree in walk when not rewriting
for the motivation.

Here we try to check that the commit we would make, if we were
actually calling read-tree, write-tree and hash-object, would be
identical to the one we are reusing.

In particular, we check that the upstream files, and the debian/
directory, have the contents we would feed to read-tree.  And we check
that the parent list is the same.

With these checks this new algorithm is, I think, safe enough to just
use always.   So set $opt_careful to 0.  We will abolish this
variable in a moment.

doing all the work to make nice actual diffs, and then throwing them
away.

Two calls to git-ls-tree is about 20x faster than git-diff-tree

6 years agogit-debrebase: Prep for avoid read-tree in walk when not rewriting

git-debrebase: Prep for avoid read-tree in walk when not rewriting

Because the git index is a flat list of files, not a directory
hierarchy, git-read-tree can be very slow.  We want to avoid it
if possible.

Introduce a new way of working, where we defer calls to read-tree.

In detail:
 * $read_tree_upstream and $read_tree_debian, which are the only ways
   that walk invokes read-tree, simply record their argument;
 * The actual read-tree is done just before the write-tree and
   commit generation.  read_tree_upstream, conveniently, does both
   halves, if it gets both arguments.
 * Put all of the read-tree and commit regeneration in a branch
   triggered if we are rewriting or "trying to be careful".

Right now we are always careful, but I have tested this with a hack
setting $opt_careful to 0, and the performance on the example branch
in #905995 is much improved: 3.4s rather than 77s for `git-debrebase'.

This is not suitable for enabling in its current form.  I want to
actuallly abolish the $opt_careful, and, instead, check with
get_differs or git-cat-file that the tree segments, and the parent
lists, are identical.

When we do that we won't be checking any more that the commit
generation can generate identical commits when not rewriting.  But it
doesn't really matter much any more provided the commits are
well-formed and right, and the test suite will check that.
