* dgit: quilt fixup error messages: Change hint emphasisIan Jackson2018-08-20
| | | | | | | | | * No longer hint --quilt=smash or dpkg source --commit. These are rarely the right thing. * Hint about bad origs, instead. This is fairly common. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | If debrebase-last says we are ahead of some previous gdr work, it is carrying on is unlikely to be helpful.

| | | | | | | | | | | As noted, git-diff-tree is quite slow. We can do much better, by stepping across the two trees ourselves. There should be no particularly significant change: the answers should be the same for reasonable inputs. Unreasonable inputs (particularly, executable files etc.) may be handled better, even.

* git-debrebase: Actually avoid read-tree in walk when not rewritingIan Jackson2018-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* git-debrebase: Provide new get_tree and trees_diff_walkIan Jackson2018-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are ways to avoid calling git-diff-tree, which is very slow even with --name-only --no-renames and without recursion. I think it is 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 on the Linux kernel, for example. No functional change in this commit, since no callers yet. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

* git-debrebase: Prep for avoid read-tree in walk when not rewritingIan Jackson2018-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
