    • repository: do not initialize HEAD if it's provided by templates · 9d46f167
      When using templates to initialize a git repository, then git-init(1)
      will copy over all contents of the template directory. These will be
      preferred over the default ones created by git-init(1). While we mostly
      do the same, there is the exception of "HEAD". While we do copy over the
      template's HEAD file, afterwards we'll immediately re-initialize its
      contents with either the default "ref: refs/origin/master" or the init
      option's `initial_head` field.
      
      Let's fix the inconsistency with upstream git-init(1) by not overwriting
      the template HEAD, but only if the user hasn't set `opts.initial_head`.
      If the `initial_head` field has been supplied, we should use that
      indifferent from whether the template contained a HEAD file or not. Add
      tests to verify we correctly use the template directory's HEAD file and
      that `initial_head` overrides the template.

    • repository: update error handling in `init_ext` · f3134a84
      Update `git_repository_init_ext` to use our typical style of error
      handling. The function had multiple statements which didn't `goto out`
      immediately but instead deferred it to later calls combined with `if`
      statements.

    • repository: avoid swallowing error codes in `create_head` · 869ae5a3
      The error handling in `git_repository_create_head` completely swallows
      all error codes. While probably not too much of a problem, this also
      violates our usual coding style.
      
      Refactor the code to use a local `error` variable with the typical `goto
      out` statements.

    • tests: repo: refactor setup of templates and repos · 0d12b8dd
      All tests in repo::template have a common pattern of first setting up
      templates, then settung up the repository that makes use of those
      templates via several init options. Refactor this pattern into two
      functions `setup_templates` and `setup_repo` that handle most of that
      logic to make it easier to spot what a test actually wants to check.
      
      Furthermore, this also refactors how we clean up after the tests.
      Previously, it was a combination of manually calling
      `cl_fixture_cleanup` and `cl_set_cleanup`, which really is kind of hard
      to read. This commit refactors this to instead provide the cleaning
      parameters in the setup functions. All cleanups are then performed in
      the suite's cleanup function.

    • tests: repo: refactor template path handling · 3b79ceaf
      The repo::template test suite makes use of quite a few local variables
      that could be consolidated. Do so to make the code easier to read.

    • tests: repo: move template tests into their own suite · ee193480
      There's quite a lot of supporting code for our templates and they are an
      obvious standalone feature. Thus, let's extract those tests into their
      own suite to also make refactoring of them easier.

      Allocate memory more efficiently when packing objects

    • cache: evict items more efficiently · 770b91b1
      When our object cache is full, we pick eight items (or the whole cache,
      if there are fewer) and evict them. For small cache sizes, this is fine,
      but when we're dealing with a large number of objects, we can repeatedly
      exhaust the cache and spend a large amount of time in git_oidmap_iterate
      trying to find items to evict.
      
      Instead, let's assume that if the cache gets full, we have a large
      number of objects that we're handling, and be more aggressive about
      evicting items. Let's remove one item for every 2048 items, but not less
      than 8. This causes us to scale our evictions in proportion to the size
      of the cache and significantly reduces the time we spend in
      git_oidmap_iterate.
      
      Before this change, a full pack of all the non-blob objects in the Linux
      repository took in excess of 30 minutes and spent 62.3% of total runtime
      in odb_read_1 and its children, and 44.3% of the time in
      git_oidmap_iterate. With this change, the same operation now takes 14
      minutes and 44 seconds, and odb_read_1 accounts for only 35.9% of total
      time, whereas git_oidmap_iterate consists of 6.2%.
      
      Note that we do spend a little more time inflating objects and a decent
      amount more time in memcmp. However, overall, the time taken is
      significantly improved, and time in pack building is now dominated by
      git_delta_create_from_index (33.7%), which is what we would expect.

    • pack-objects: allocate memory more efficiently · c4df926b
      The packbuilder code allocates memory in chunks. When it needs to
      allocate, it tries to add 1024 to the number of objects and multiply by
      3/2. However, it actually multiplies by 1 instead, since it performs an
      integral division in the expression "3 / 2" and only then multiplies by
      the increased number of objects.
      
      The current behavior causes the code to waste massive amounts of time
      copying memory when it reallocates, causing inserting all non-blob
      objects in the Linux repository into a new pack to take some
      indeterminate time greater than 5 minutes instead of 52 seconds.
      
      Correct this error by first dividing by two, and only then multiplying
      by 3. We still check for overflow for the multiplication, which is the
      only part that can overflow. This appears to be the only place in the
      code base which has this problem.

    • attr_file: ignore macros defined in subdirectories · f8346905
      Right now, we are unconditionally applying all macros found in a
      gitatttributes file. But quoting gitattributes(5):
      
          Custom macro attributes can be defined only in top-level
          gitattributes files ($GIT_DIR/info/attributes, the .gitattributes
          file at the top level of the working tree, or the global or
          system-wide gitattributes files), not in .gitattributes files in
          working tree subdirectories. The built-in macro attribute "binary"
          is equivalent to:
      
      So gitattribute files in subdirectories of the working tree may
      explicitly _not_ contain macro definitions, but we do not currently
      enforce this limitation.
      
      This patch introduces a new parameter to the gitattributes parser that
      tells whether macros are allowed in the current file or not. If set to
      `false`, we will still parse macros, but silently ignore them instead of
      adding them to the list of defined macros. Update all callers to
      correctly determine whether the to-be-parsed file may contain macros or
      not. Most importantly, when walking up the directory hierarchy, we will
      only set it to `true` once it reaches the root directory of the repo
      itself.
      
      Add a test that verifies that we are indeed not applying macros from
      subdirectories. Previous to these changes, the test would've failed.

    • attr_file: refactor `parse_buffer` function · 97968529
      The gitattributes code is one of our oldest and most-untouched codebases

      best practices. Refactor the function `git_attr_file__parse_buffer` to
      better match them.
