Subject: [PATCH v4 00/10] Optimization batch 8: use file basenames even more

From: "Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2021 00:30:38 +0000

This series depends on en/diffcore-rename (a concatenation of what I was
calling ort-perf-batch-6 and ort-perf-batch-7).

Changes since v3:

 * Update the commit messages (one was out of date after the rearrangement),
   and include Stolee's Reviewed-by

Elijah Newren (10):
  diffcore-rename: use directory rename guided basename comparisons
  diffcore-rename: provide basic implementation of idx_possible_rename()
  diffcore-rename: add a mapping of destination names to their indices
  Move computation of dir_rename_count from merge-ort to diffcore-rename
  diffcore-rename: add function for clearing dir_rename_count
  diffcore-rename: move dir_rename_counts into dir_rename_info struct
  diffcore-rename: extend cleanup_dir_rename_info()
  diffcore-rename: compute dir_rename_counts in stages
  diffcore-rename: limit dir_rename_counts computation to relevant dirs
  diffcore-rename: compute dir_rename_guess from dir_rename_counts

     -    diffcore-rename: add a new idx_possible_rename function
     +    diffcore-rename: provide basic implementation of idx_possible_rename()
      
     -    find_basename_matches() is great when both the remaining set of possible
     -    rename sources and the remaining set of possible rename destinations
     -    have exactly one file each with a given basename.  It allows us to match
     -    up files that have been moved to different directories without changing
     -    filenames.
     +    Add a new struct dir_rename_info with various values we need inside our
     +    idx_possible_rename() function introduced in the previous commit.  Add a
     +    basic implementation for this function showing how we plan to use the
     +    variables, but which will just return early with a value of -1 (not
     +    found) when those variables are not set up.
      
     -    When basenames are not unique, though, we want to be able to guess which
     -    directories the source files have been moved to.  Since this is the job
     -    of directory rename detection, we employ it.  However, since it is a
     -    directory rename detection idea, we also limit it to cases where we know
     -    there could have been a directory rename, i.e. where the source
     -    directory has been removed.  This has to be signalled by dirs_removed
     -    being non-NULL and containing an entry for the relevant directory.
     -    Since merge-ort.c is the only caller that currently does so, this
     -    optimization is only effective for merge-ort right now.  In the future,
     -    this condition could be reconsidered or we could modify other callers to
     -    pass the necessary strset.
     -
     -    Anyway, that's a lot of background so that we can actually describe the
     -    new function.  Add an idx_possible_rename() function which combines the
     -    recently added dir_rename_guess and idx_map fields to provide the index
     -    within rename_dst of a potential match for a given file.
     -
     -    Future commits will add checks after calling this function to compare
     -    the resulting 'likely rename' candidates to see if the two files meet
     -    the elevated min_basename_score threshold for marking them as actual
     -    renames.
     +    Future commits will do the work necessary to set up those other
     +    variables so that idx_possible_rename() does not always return -1.
