Add a new reachability algorithm that intends to discover (from a heuristic)
which branch was used as the starting point for a given commit. Add focused
tests using the 'test-tool reach' command.
In repositories that use pull requests (or merge requests) to advance one or
more "protected" branches, the history of that reference can be recovered by
following the first-parent history in most cases. Most are completed using
no-fast-forward merges, though squash merges are quite common. Less common
is rebase-and-merge, which still validates this assumption. Finally, the
case that breaks this assumption is the fast-forward update (with potential
rebasing). Even in this case, the previous commit commonly appears in the
first-parent history of the branch.
Similar assumptions can be made for a topic branch created by a single user
with the intention to merge back into another branch. Using 'git commit',
'git merge', and 'git cherry-pick' from HEAD will default to having the
first-parent commit be the previous commit at HEAD. This history changes
only with commands such as 'git reset' or 'git rebase', where the command
names also imply that the branch is starting from a new location.
With this movement of branches in mind, the following heuristic is proposed
as a way to determine the base branch for a given source branch:
Among a list of candidate base branches, select the candidate that
minimizes the number of commits in the first-parent history of the source
that are not in the first-parent history of the candidate.
Prior third-party solutions to this problem have used this optimization
criteria, but have relied upon extracting the first-parent history and
comparing those lists as tables instead of using commit-graph walks.
Given current command-line interface options, this optimization criteria is
not easy to detect directly. Even using the command
git rev-list --count --first-parent <base>..<source>
does not measure this count, as it uses full reachability from <base> to
determine which commits to remove from the range '<base>..<source>'. This
may lead to one asking if we should instead be using the full reachability
of the candidate and only the first-parent history of the source. This,
unfortunately, does not work for repositories that use long-lived branches
and automation to merge across those branches.
In extremely large repositories, merging into a single trunk may not be
feasible. This is usually due to the desired frequency of updates
(thousands of engineers doing daily work) combined with the time required to
perform a validation build. These factors combine to create significant
risk of semantic merge conflicts, leading to build breaks on the trunk. In
response, repository maintainers can create a single Level Zero (L0) trunk
and multiple Level One (L1) branches. By partitioning the engineers by
organization, these engineers may see lower risk of semantic merge conflicts
as well as be protected against build breaks in other L1 branches. The key
to making this system work is a semi-automated process of merging L1
branches into the L0 trunk and vice-versa. In a large enough organization,
these L1 branches may further split into L2 or L3 branches, but the same
principles apply for merging across deeper levels.
If these automated merges use a typical merge with the second parent
bringing in the "new" content, then each L0 and L1 branch can track its
previous positions by following first-parent history, which appear as
parallel paths (until reaching the first place where the branches diverged).
If we also walk to second parents, then the histories overlap significantly
and cannot be distinguished except for very-recent changes.
For this reason, the first-parent condition should be symmetrical across the
base and source branches.
Another common case for desiring the result of this optimization method is
the use of release branches. When releasing a version of a repository, a
branch can be used to track that release. Any updates that are worth fixing
in that release can be merged to the release branch and shipped with only
the necessary fixes without any new features introduced in the trunk branch.
The 'maint-2.<X>' branches represent this pattern in the Git project. The
microsoft/git fork uses 'vfs-2.<X>.<Y>' branches to track the changes that
are custom to that fork on top of each upstream Git release 2.<X>.<Y>. This
application doesn't need the symmetrical first-parent condition, but the use
of first-parent histories does not change the results for these branches.
To determine the base branch from a list of candidates, create a new method
in commit-reach.c that performs a single* commit-graph walk. The core
concept is to walk first-parents starting at the candidate bases and the
source, tracking the "best" base to reach a given commit. Use generation
numbers to ensure that a commit is walked at most once and all children have
been explored before visiting it. When reaching a commit that is reachable
from both a base and the source, we will then have a guarantee that this is
the closest intersection of first-parent histories. Track the best base to
reach that commit and return it as a result. In rare cases involving
multiple root commits, the first-parent history of the source may never
intersect any of the candidates and thus a null result is returned.
* There are up to two walks, since we require all commits to have a computed
generation number in order to avoid incorrect results. This is similar to
the need for computed generation numbers in ahead_behind() as implemented
in fd67d149bd (commit-reach: implement ahead_behind() logic, 2023-03-20).
In order to track the "best" base, use a new commit slab that stores an
integer. This value defaults to zero upon initialization, so use -1 to
track that the source commit can reach this commit and use 'i + 1' to track
that the ith base can reach this commit. When multiple bases can reach a
commit, minimize the index to break ties. This allows the caller to specify
an order to the bases that determines some amount of preference when the
heuristic does not result in a unique result.
The trickiest part of the integer slab is what happens when reaching a
collision among the histories of the bases and the history of the source.
This is noticed when viewing the first parent and seeing that it has a slab
value that differs in sign (negative or positive). In this case, the
collision commit is stored in the method variable 'branch_point' and its
slab value is set to -1. The index of the best base (so far) is stored in
the method variable 'best_index'. It is possible that there are multiple
commits that have the branch_point as its first parent, leading to multiple
updates of best_index. The result is determined when 'branch_point' is
visited in the commit walk, giving the guarantee that all commits that could
reach 'branch_point' were visited.
Several interesting cases of collisions and different results are tested in
the t6600-test-reach.sh script. Recall that this script also tests the
algorithm in three possible states involving the commit-graph file and how
many commits are written in the file. This provides some coverage of the
need (and lack of need) for the ensure_generations_valid() method.

When provided a pointer to a destination index, then `unpack_trees()`

When resolving revisions in `get_tags_and_duplicates()`, we only

This is only a symptom of a deeper issue though. Bundles default to the
SHA1 object format unless they advertise an "@object-format=" header.
Consequently, it has been wrong in the first place to use the object
format used by the current repository when parsing bundles. The
consequence is that trying to open a bundle that uses a different object
hash than the current repository will fail:
$ git bundle list-heads sha1.bundle

variable in "path.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

When not provided a worktree, then `worktree_git_path()` will fall back
to returning a path relative to the main repository. In this case, we
implicitly rely on `the_repository` to derive the path. Remove this
dependency by passing a `struct repository` as parameter.

We access `the_repository` in `report_linked_checkout_garbage()` both
directly and indirectly via `get_git_dir()`. Remove this dependency by
instead passing a `struct repository` as parameter.

We implicitly depend on `the_repository` in our hook subsystem because
we use `strbuf_git_path()` to compute hook paths. Remove this dependency
by accepting a `struct repository` as parameter instead.

We implicitly rely on `the_repository` when editing a file interactively
because we call `git_path()`. Adapt the function to instead take a
`struct repository` as a parameter so that we can remove this hidden
dependency.

With the same reasoning as the preceding commit, expose the function
`do_git_common_path()` as `repo_common_pathv()`. While at it, reorder
parameters such that they match the order we have in `repo_git_pathv()`.
