This series implements the concept of a skip list for the packed refs
backend. In situations where the caller has many references they want to
exclude, the packed-refs iterator maintains a list of (start, end)
tuples of regions to jump over (i.e. if `iter->pos == start`, jump
forward to `end`).

This series implements that concept, and uses it to power a couple of
new things:

  - `git for-each-ref --exclude`, which allows callers to specify
    prefixes they wish to discard.

    In a synthetic example, the naive implementation improved runtime
    from ~820ms to enumerate all references and discard unwanted ones,
    down to ~106ms with `--exclude`. By the end of the series, this time
    drops to under ~5ms.

  - `git receive-pack` uses the new skip-list machinery to avoid
    visiting references hidden via a hideRefs rule.

  - `git upload-pack` has an analogous optimization as above (though it
    can't kick in quite as often for reasons described in that patch).

The series is laid out as follows:

  - The first five patches are preparatory (various refs.c and
    ref-filter cleanup).
  - The sixth patch provides a naive implementation of `--exclude`.
  - The next four patches prepare for and implement skip lists in the
    packed-refs backend.
  - The last five patches apply the optimization in `upload-pack` and
    `receive-pack`.

The series is ordered so that any prefix of sections list above could be
queued independently. Thanks in advance for your review.

Jeff King (5):
  refs.c: rename `ref_filter`
  ref-filter.h: provide `REF_FILTER_INIT`
  ref-filter: clear reachable list pointers after freeing
  ref-filter: add ref_filter_clear()
  ref-filter.c: parameterize match functions over patterns

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

The refs machinery has its own implementation of a `ref_filter` (used by
`for-each-ref`), which is distinct from the `ref-filler.h` API (also
used by `for-each-ref`, among other things).

Rename the one within refs.c to more clearly indicate its purpose.

Provide a sane initialization value for `struct ref_filter`, which in a
subsequent patch will be used to initialize a new field.

In the meantime, fix a case in test-reach.c where its `ref_filter` is
not even zero-initialized.

In reach_filter(), we pop all commits from the reachable lists, leaving
them empty. But because we're operating on a list pointer that was
passed by value, the original filter.reachable_from pointer is left
dangling.

We did not bother to clean up at all in branch/tag, and for-each-ref
only hit a few elements. So this is probably cleaning up leaks, but I
didn't check yet.

Note that the reachable_from and unreachable_from lists should be
cleaned as they are used. So this is just covering any case where we
might bail before running the reachability check.

`match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` both take a `struct
ref_filter *`, and then store a stack variable `patterns` pointing at
`filter->patterns`.

The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
which patterns are being used to match.

Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
patterns to prepare for passing either in.

When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within refs/packed-backend.c. To do so, the refs subsystem needs
to be updated to pass this value across a number of different locations.

Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.

When iterating through the `packed-refs` file in order to answer a query
like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude=refs/__hidden__

it would be useful to avoid walking over all of the entries in
`refs/__hidden__/*` when possible, since we know that the ref-filter
code is going to throw them away anyways.

In certain circumstances, doing so is possible. The algorithm for doing
so is as follows:

  - For each excluded pattern, find the first record that matches it,
    and the first pattern that *doesn't* match it (i.e. the location
    you'd next want to consider when excluding that pattern).

  - Sort the patterns by their starting location within the
    `packed-refs` file.

  - Construct a skip list of regions by combining adjacent and
    overlapping regions from the previous step.

  - When iterating through the `packed-refs` file, if `iter->pos` is
    ever contained in one of the regions from the previous steps,
    advance `iter->pos` past the end of that region, and continue
    enumeration.

Note that this optimization is only possible when none of the excluded
pattern(s) have special meta-characters in them. To see why this is the
case, consider the exclusion pattern "refs/foo[a]". In general, in order
to find the location of the first record that matches this pattern, we
could only consider up to the first meta-character, "refs/foo". But this
doesn't work, since the excluded region we'd come up with would include
"refs/foobar", even though it is not excluded.

There are a few other gotchas worth considering. First, note that the
skip list is sorted, so once we skip past a region, we can avoid
considering it (or any regions preceding it) again. The member
`skip_pos` is used to track the first next-possible region to jump
through.

Second, note that the exclusion list is best-effort, since we do not
handle loose references, and because of the meta-character issue above.

In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up
can be significant. Tests here are done with a copy of linux.git with a
reference "refs/pull/N" pointing at every commit, as in:

    $ git rev-list HEAD | awk '{ print "create refs/pull/" NR " " $0 }' |
        git update-ref --stdin
    $ git pack-refs --all

, it is significantly faster to have `for-each-ref` skip over the
excluded references, as opposed to filtering them out after the fact:

    $ hyperfine \
      'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
    Benchmark 1: git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     802.7 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 691.6 ms, System: 147.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   800.0 ms … 807.7 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 4.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.7 ms    422 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' ran
      172.03 ± 9.60 times faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Using the skip list is fairly straightforward (see the changes to
`refs/packed-backend.c::next_record()`), but constructing the list is
not. To ensure that the construction is correct, add a new suite of
tests in t1419 covering various corner cases (overlapping regions,
partially overlapping regions, adjacent regions, etc.).

The previous commit added low-level tests to ensure that the packed-refs
iterator did not enumerate excluded sections of the refspace.

However, there was no guarantee that these sections weren't being
visited, only that they were being suppressed from the output. To harden
these tests, add a trace2 counter which tracks the number of regions
skipped by the packed-refs iterator, and assert on its value.

In subsequent commits, it will be convenient to have a 'const char **'
of hidden refs (matching `transfer.hiderefs`, `uploadpack.hideRefs`,
etc.), instead of a `string_list`.

Convert spots throughout the tree that store the list of hidden refs
from a `string_list` to a `strvec`.

Note that in `parse_hide_refs_config()` there is an ugly const-cast used
to avoid an extra copy of each value before trimming any trailing slash
characters. This could instead be written as:

    ref = xstrdup(value);
    len = strlen(ref);
    while (len && ref[len - 1] == '/')
            ref[--len] = '\0';
    strvec_push(hide_refs, ref);
    free(ref);

but the double-copy (once when calling `xstrdup()`, and another via
`strvec_push()`) is wasteful.

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new skip-list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref skip lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Detect
and avoid these cases by falling back to the normal enumeration without
a skip list when such patterns exist.

The following commit will want to call `for_each_namespaced_ref()` with
a list of excluded patterns.

We could introduce a variant of that function, say,
`for_each_namespaced_ref_exclude()` which takes the extra parameter, and
reimplement the original function in terms of that. But all but one
caller (in `http-backend.c`) will supply the new parameter, so add the
new parameter to `for_each_namespaced_ref()` itself instead of
introducing a new function.

For now, supply NULL for the list of excluded patterns at all callers to
avoid changing behavior, which we will do in the subsequent commit.

In a similar fashion as a previous commit, teach `upload-pack` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

Note, however, that there are certain cases where cannot avoid
enumerating even hidden references, in particular when either of:

  - `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, or
  - `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`

are set, corresponding to `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` and `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1`,
respectively.

When either of these bits are set, upload-pack's `is_our_ref()` function
needs to consider the `HIDDEN_REF` bit of the referent's object flags.
So we must visit all references, including the hidden ones, in order to
mark their referents with the `HIDDEN_REF` bit.

When neither `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` nor `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1` are set, the
`is_our_ref()` function considers only the `OUR_REF` bit, and not the
`HIDDEN_REF` one. `OUR_REF` is applied via `mark_our_ref()`, and only
to objects at the tips of non-hidden references, so we do not need to
visit hidden references in this case.

When neither of those bits are set, `upload-pack` can potentially avoid
enumerating a large number of references. In the same example as a
previous commit (linux.git with one hidden reference per commit,
"refs/pull/N"):

    $ printf 0000 >in
    $ hyperfine --warmup=1 \
      'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

      Time (mean ± σ):     406.9 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 357.3 ms, System: 49.5 ms]
      Range (min … max):   405.7 ms … 409.2 ms    10 runs

      Range (min … max):   404.6 ms … 408.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.1 ms    472 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' ran
       86.62 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in'
       86.70 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

As above, we must visit every reference when
uploadPack.allowTipSHA1InWant is set. But when it is unset, we can visit
far fewer references.

Now that `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` has the ability to avoid
enumerating references matching certain pattern(s), use that to avoid
visiting hidden refs when constructing the ref advertisement via
receive-pack.

Note that since this exclusion is best-effort, we still need
`show_ref_cb()` to check whether or not each reference is hidden or not
before including it in the advertisement.

As was the case when applying this same optimization to `upload-pack`,
`receive-pack`'s reference advertisement phase can proceed much quicker
by avoiding enumerating references that will not be part of the
advertisement.

(Below, we're still using linux.git with one hidden refs/pull/N ref per
commit):

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'

And the previous step matters here---otherwise we will end up
walking two commit lists whose elements have all been popped
in reach_filter().

Makes sense.

I wonder if structure assignment "*filter = blank" is easier to see
but I think we've seen this "_INIT; memcpy()" dance before.

Oops. Sorry about that, this should be:

Yeah, this matches how many other _init() functions work (just looking
through the output of `git grep -B3 memcpy | grep -A3 _init`).

These hint that we'd eventually lose .name_patterns member from the
structure so that we can pass pattern array that is not necessarily
tied to any instance of a filter?

And we are not there yet, so we hoist the use of .name_patterns
member one level up to the only caller?

Without seeing how it evolves, we can tell this does not make
anything break, but we cannot tell how this helps anything (yet).

Let's read on.

I think the original is already wrong, but the easiest thing we can
do in order to avoid making it worse is to drop this hunk, as the
existing usage is this:

static char const * const for_each_ref_usage[] = {
	N_("git for-each-ref [<options>] [<pattern>]"),
	N_("git for-each-ref [--points-at <object>]"),
	N_("git for-each-ref [--merged [<commit>]] [--no-merged [<commit>]]"),
	N_("git for-each-ref [--contains [<commit>]] [--no-contains [<commit>]]"),
	NULL
};

and this series merely adds a new "--exclude=<pattern>" as one of
the "<options>". 

As we can see from the fact that for example

 $ git for-each-ref --no-merged next refs/heads/\?\?/\*

works just fine, exactly the same thing can be said about the other
--points-at/--merged/--no-merged/--contains/--no-contains options.

The SYNOPSIS section of the manual page is fine.

Earlier I made a comment about .name_patterns member becoming
unnecessary, but I think what should need to happen is instead
match_pattern() and match_name_as_path() to lose the "filter"
parameter, and take a boolean "ignore_case" instead.

At some point after the dust settles, we may want to tweak
name_patterns so that these two appear to complement each other more
clearly, e.g. use "struct strvec include" to replace "name_patterns"
or something.  But that is an unrelated tangent.

In any case, there wasn't anything surprising or unexpected in the
code.  Looking good.

These are doing as Romans do, so I won't comment on the outdated
pattern of preparing the expectation outside the test script.  After
the dust settles, somebody needs to go in and clean it up.

The splitting out of this step is rather unfortunate in that the
extra parameter "start" given to cmp_record_to_refname(), together
with a rather curious returning to "-1" when the parameter is false,
are not justified at all by looking at the caller, because the only
caller of the function, find_reference_location_1() always passes
"start" it got from its caller without modifying, and the sole
caller of that passes "1" to "start".  IOW, the behaviour of
cmp_record_to_refname() when "start" is false can be any arbitrary
garbage (it could even be BUG("")) and the claim "the behaviour is
unchanged" will still be true.

But that does not help the readers all that much.

So, yes I can agree that this does not introduce any new bug, it is
a mysterious no-op, and why we want to pass different values in "start"
in future steps in order to achieve what is not explained and leaves
the readers frustrated.

I'll stop here for now and come back to the rest laster.

Thanks.

I haven't read through any of this closely (don't have time for it now) but
want to mention one thing here:

You might want to add a note to the code that there is no
relationship here to the skip list data structure (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list).

Nit: it sounds like there still is the intent to check whether this does
fix leaks. How about updating the commit message to either not mention
the intent or perform the check?

It might be worth mentioning in the commit message that the exclude
patterns are supposed to be best-effort. In other words, any caller
would still need to do manual filtering if I understand correctly. And
while this is indeed documented via `refs_for_each_fullref_in_prefixes`
it is quite easy to miss this important little detail.

Is this generally true though? A naive implementation would iterate
through all references and find the first reference that matches the
exclusion regular exepression. From thereon we continue to iterate until
we find the first entry that doesn't match. This may cause us to end up
with a suboptimal skip list, but the skip list would still be valid.

As I said, this implementation would be naive as we're now forced to
iterate through all references starting at the beginning. I assume that
your implementation will instead use a binary search to locate the first
entry that matches the exclusion pattern and the last pattern. But the
way this paragraph is formulated makes it sound like this is a general
fact, even though it is a fact that derives from the implementation.

I of course don't propose to change the algorithm here, but instead to
clarify where this restriction actually comes from and why the tradeoff
makes sense.

One thing that makes this hard to reason about is that we don't
explicitly handle the case where the pattern doesn't match at all. So
you require a bunch of knowledge about what exactly the functions
`find_reference_location()` and `find_reference_location_end()` do in
that case in order to determine whether we will end up doing the right
thing.

Explicitly handling this would give us some benefits:

- It makes the code more obvious.

- We can avoid an extra skip list entry for every non-matching
  pattern.

- We wouldn't have to perform binary search over the snapshot twice.

Might be I'm missing something though.

Mh. Does this do the right thing in case we have multiple consecutive
overlapping skip list entries? We always end up adjusting the immediate
predecessor as we use `i - 1` to find `prev`. Shouldn't we instead start
with `j = 0` and assign `prev = &iter->skip[j]`?

Nit: it might be a bit more readable if we put the comment into the test
description instead of having an opaque description that mentions ref
names that don't have much of a meaning without reading the test itself.

I know it's common practice in the Git project, but personally I tend to
fight with functions that have a `_1` suffix. You simply cannot tell
what the difference is to the non-suffixed variant without checking its
declaration.

`for_each_namespaced_ref_with_optional_hidden_refs()` is definitely a
mouthful though, and I can't really think of something better either.

Doesn't this influence whether somebody can _fetch_ objects pointed to
by the hidden refs instead of _updating_ them?

Oops. Thanks for the reminder. Peff sent this patch to me while we were

perform this check.

Right. We'll pass in the excluded patterns in the next commit.

Hmm. I tried to allude to this in the patch message with the paragraph:

    The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
    excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
    treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
    which patterns are being used to match.

    Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
    patterns to prepare for passing either in.

...but I'm happy to add detail or clarify it if you think that these
paragraphs could use it.

Thanks,
Taylor

Yeah, I figured that this series was already getting pretty long, but
that it would be expedient to propagate forward this pattern. But it
should be cleaned up. Let's tag it with #leftoverbits accordingly.

Re-reading this patch again with your review in mind, I agree that the
split is poorly placed.

I modified this patch to just extract the core routine behind a helper
function and avoided adding the "start" parameter here.

Good suggestion, thanks. I picked the name skip list for this concept
since we're skipping over excluded regions of the packed-refs file, but
you're right it has no relation to the skip list data structure.

Will note in the patch message.

In the example you include, it's possible. But consider something like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude='refs/foo[ac]'

The region that matches that expression ("refs/fooa", "refs/fooc" and
everything underneath them) does not have to appear as a continuous
single region in the packed-refs file. If you have, say, "refs/foobar",
that will appear between the two regions you want to exclude.

So I think you *might* be able to do it in general, but at the very
least it would involve splitting each character class and finding the
start and end of any region(s) that it matches.

Even so, you'd have to try and match each entry as you determine the
width of the excluded region, at which point you're at par with
enumerating them anyway and having the caller discard any entries it
doesn't want.

We handle it implicitly via the mustexist parameter that both
find_reference_location() and find_reference_location_end() take, which
returns the position that you would find a matching entry if one does
not already exist.

You're right that it would save you a second binary search, but that is
likely to be a vanishingly small cost compared to the actual traversal,
disk I/O, etc.

I could imagine modifying the signature of both of those functions to be
something like:

    int find_reference_location(struct snapshot *, const char *pattern,
                                int mustexist, char *out)

Which would propagate the result through `out`, and the return value
would be whether or not it found a matching entry. But that only really
makes sense when `mustexist` is set to 0, and it adds some verbosity
throughout.

I think that it's totally possible to avoid the second search, but I'm
not sure that the cost of additional complexity and verbosity is worth
the benefit of avoiding one binary search (which will likely be
resident, anyway).

Note though that if e->start == e->end here we will discard the empty
skip region below.

Oops, yes. Thanks for catching my obvious typo.

Do we find "record" and then "pattern", or is the latter a misspelt
"record"?  I will assume it is the latter while reading the rest.
Is the latter "the record that does not match the pattern, whose
record number is the smallest but yet larger than the first record
that matches the pattern?"  That is we assume that the refs in the
packed refs file are sorted and can be partitioned into three by
each pattern: (1) refs before the first matching record---they do
not match the pattern. (2) refs at or after the first matching
record that match.  (3) refs after (2) that do not match.

I am not sure if that would work.  What if the pattern were refs/tags/[ad-z]*
and there are packed tags refs/tags/{a,b,c,d,e}?  The pattern would partition
the refs into [a](matches), [b,c](does not match), [d,e](matches).

Perhaps I am grossly misunderstanding what the above explanation
says.

So the idea is that the patterns are sorted by the first record they
match, and after sorting these patterns, refs that are between the
beginning of the list of refs and the first record associated with
the first pattern will not match _any_ pattern in that list?

"skip list of regions" -> "list of regions to skip", I guess.

Ah, so this is called "patterns" but it deals with literal patterns
without globs?  Then I'll stop worrying about the refs/tags/[ad-z]
counter-example.

Sounds good.  Does this actually use the skip list data structure,
or do they happen to share the same two words in their names, but
otherwise have nothing common with each other?  If the latter, we
may want to revise the explanation, data type names, and variable
names, to avoid confusion, as Chris pointed out earlier.

Hmph.  I would have expected that a set of patterns with any one
pattern with glob would invalidate the whole skip optimization, but
it is nice if we can salvage such a set and still optimize, if only
for literal patterns.  Interesting.

Ah, that is because we are dealing with ranges that cannot possibly
match.  With the mention of "first record that matches" etc. in the
earlier descriptoin, I somehow misled myself that we are dealing
with ranges that have interesting records.  So, a pattern with glob
does not contribute any range to be skipped, but that is OK.

So, iter->skip[] array has one range per pattern at most, but some
patterns may not contribute any range to the list.

I am confused.  The first pattern may never match records in [A..B]
range, and the second pattern may never match records in [B..C]
range, but what does it mean to combine these two ranges?

None of the {braces} seem needed, but OK.

Sorry, you're right to assume the latter. This should read "..., find
the record that matches it, and the first record that *doesn't* match."

In the example you give, we would ignore that whole pattern and
enumerate everything (including entries that match 'refs/tags/[ad-z]*'),
and the caller is expected to discard them.

My patch could use some clarification here, since it is much easier to
treat the patterns as unsorted, and then sort the beginning of the range
that they match.

They have nothing to do with each other ;-). I made a note in this patch
in the revised version I'll send in the next day or two to note the
distinction. But I'm fine with renaming the whole concept to "jump list"
or something like that if you prefer.

Exactly right. This is all "best effort" anyway, since there are some
patterns that we cannot construct a skip list entry for in the general
case. So it's fine if we enumerate some references that match one or
more of the excluded patterns, because the caller is expected to drop
those results themselves.

The patterns would match all records in their respective regions, but
since they are excluded we want to jump over those references instead of
iterating (and then discarding them later).

So if we have a jump from A->B, and another from B->C, it would be fine
to perform two jumps to get from A to C. But we can detect this case by
combining adjacent/overlapping regions.

Yeah. I added the braces here intentionally to match the
CodingGuidelines, which state that this case is an exception.

Alternatively you could also do this on a best-effort basis and only
find the first matching region. But anyway, as said: I'm fine with the
limitations but think that we should document better where they come
from. The current commit message sounds like the limitation is of
general nature even though it is in fact a conciously-chosen tradeoff
that allows us to make the implementation more efficient for most cases.

Here is a reroll of my series to implement jump (née skip) lists for the
packed refs backend.

Not a ton has changed since last time, but some notable things that have
changed include:

  - Renaming "skip lists" to "jump lists" to clarify that this
    implementation does not use the skip list data structure.
  - Patch reorganization, splitting out `find_reference_location_end()`
    more sensibly, rewording patch messages, etc.
  - Addresses feedback from Junio and Patrick Steinhardt's helpful
    reviews.

As usual, a range-diff is included below for convenience.

Given that we are expecting -rc0 today, we should aim to not let review
of this topic direct our attention away from testing the release
candidates. We can get more serious about it on the other side of 2.41.

Thanks in advance for another look.

    -    Note that this optimization is only possible when none of the excluded

    -    case, consider the exclusion pattern "refs/foo[a]". In general, in order
    -    to find the location of the first record that matches this pattern, we
    -    could only consider up to the first meta-character, "refs/foo". But this
    -    doesn't work, since the excluded region we'd come up with would include
    -    "refs/foobar", even though it is not excluded.

    +    that handles this case may split the character class (pretending as if
    +    two patterns were excluded: "refs/fooa", and "refs/fooc").

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

The refs machinery has its own implementation of a `ref_filter` (used by
`for-each-ref`), which is distinct from the `ref-filler.h` API (also
used by `for-each-ref`, among other things).

Rename the one within refs.c to more clearly indicate its purpose.

Provide a sane initialization value for `struct ref_filter`, which in a
subsequent patch will be used to initialize a new field.

In the meantime, fix a case in test-reach.c where its `ref_filter` is
not even zero-initialized.

In reach_filter(), we pop all commits from the reachable lists, leaving
them empty. But because we're operating on a list pointer that was
passed by value, the original filter.reachable_from pointer is left
dangling.

We did not bother to clean up at all in `git branch` or `git tag`, and
`git for-each-ref` only cleans up a couple of members.

Add and call `ref_filter_clear()` when cleaning up a `struct
ref_filter`. Running this patch (without any test changes) indicates a
couple of now leak-free tests. This was found by running:

    $ make SANITIZE=leak
    $ make -C t GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check GIT_TEST_OPTS=--immediate

(Note that the `reachable_from` and `unreachable_from` lists should be
cleaned as they are used. So this is just covering any case where we
might bail before running the reachability check.)

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

`match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` both take a `struct
ref_filter *`, and then store a stack variable `patterns` pointing at
`filter->patterns`.

The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
which patterns are being used to match.

Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
patterns to prepare for passing either in.

Once we start passing either in, `match_pattern()` will have little to
do with a particular `struct ref_filter *` instance. To clarify this,
drop it from the argument list, and replace it with the only bit of the
`ref_filter` that we care about (`filter->ignore_case`).

When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within `refs/packed-backend.c` that will cull out certain
references matching any of the given patterns on a best-effort basis.

To do so, the refs subsystem needs to be updated to pass this value
across a number of different locations.

Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.

When iterating through the `packed-refs` file in order to answer a query
like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude=refs/__hidden__

it would be useful to avoid walking over all of the entries in
`refs/__hidden__/*` when possible, since we know that the ref-filter
code is going to throw them away anyways.

In certain circumstances, doing so is possible. The algorithm for doing
so is as follows:

  - For each excluded pattern, find the first record that matches it,
    and the first record that *doesn't* match it (i.e. the location
    you'd next want to consider when excluding that pattern).

  - Sort the set of excluded regions from the previous step in ascending
    order of the first location within the `packed-refs` file that
    matches.

  - Clean up the results from the previous step: discard empty regions,
    and combine adjacent regions.

Then when iterating through the `packed-refs` file, if `iter->pos` is
ever contained in one of the regions from the previous steps, advance
`iter->pos` past the end of that region, and continue enumeration.

Note that we only perform this optimization when none of the excluded
pattern(s) have special meta-characters in them. For a pattern like
"refs/foo[ac]", the excluded regions ("refs/fooa", "refs/fooc", and
everything underneath them) are not connected. A future implementation
that handles this case may split the character class (pretending as if
two patterns were excluded: "refs/fooa", and "refs/fooc").

There are a few other gotchas worth considering. First, note that the
jump list is sorted, so once we jump past a region, we can avoid
considering it (or any regions preceding it) again. The member
`jump_pos` is used to track the first next-possible region to jump
through.

Second, note that the exclusion list is best-effort, since we do not
handle loose references, and because of the meta-character issue above.

In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up
can be significant. Tests here are done with a copy of linux.git with a
reference "refs/pull/N" pointing at every commit, as in:

    $ git rev-list HEAD | awk '{ print "create refs/pull/" NR " " $0 }' |
        git update-ref --stdin
    $ git pack-refs --all

, it is significantly faster to have `for-each-ref` jump over the
excluded references, as opposed to filtering them out after the fact:

    $ hyperfine \
      'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
    Benchmark 1: git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     802.7 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 691.6 ms, System: 147.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   800.0 ms … 807.7 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 4.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.7 ms    422 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' ran
      172.03 ± 9.60 times faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Using the jump list is fairly straightforward (see the changes to
`refs/packed-backend.c::next_record()`), but constructing the list is
not. To ensure that the construction is correct, add a new suite of
tests in t1419 covering various corner cases (overlapping regions,
partially overlapping regions, adjacent regions, etc.).

The previous commit added low-level tests to ensure that the packed-refs
iterator did not enumerate excluded sections of the refspace.

However, there was no guarantee that these sections weren't being
visited, only that they were being suppressed from the output. To harden
these tests, add a trace2 counter which tracks the number of regions
skipped by the packed-refs iterator, and assert on its value.

In subsequent commits, it will be convenient to have a 'const char **'
of hidden refs (matching `transfer.hiderefs`, `uploadpack.hideRefs`,
etc.), instead of a `string_list`.

Convert spots throughout the tree that store the list of hidden refs
from a `string_list` to a `strvec`.

Note that in `parse_hide_refs_config()` there is an ugly const-cast used
to avoid an extra copy of each value before trimming any trailing slash
characters. This could instead be written as:

    ref = xstrdup(value);
    len = strlen(ref);
    while (len && ref[len - 1] == '/')
            ref[--len] = '\0';
    strvec_push(hide_refs, ref);
    free(ref);

but the double-copy (once when calling `xstrdup()`, and another via
`strvec_push()`) is wasteful.

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new skip-list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref skip lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Detect
and avoid these cases by falling back to the normal enumeration without
a skip list when such patterns exist.

The following commit will want to call `for_each_namespaced_ref()` with
a list of excluded patterns.

We could introduce a variant of that function, say,
`for_each_namespaced_ref_exclude()` which takes the extra parameter, and
reimplement the original function in terms of that. But all but one
caller (in `http-backend.c`) will supply the new parameter, so add the
new parameter to `for_each_namespaced_ref()` itself instead of
introducing a new function.

For now, supply NULL for the list of excluded patterns at all callers to
avoid changing behavior, which we will do in the subsequent commit.

Now that `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` has the ability to avoid
enumerating references matching certain pattern(s), use that to avoid
visiting hidden refs when constructing the ref advertisement via
receive-pack.

Note that since this exclusion is best-effort, we still need
`show_ref_cb()` to check whether or not each reference is hidden or not
before including it in the advertisement.

As was the case when applying this same optimization to `upload-pack`,
`receive-pack`'s reference advertisement phase can proceed much quicker
by avoiding enumerating references that will not be part of the
advertisement.

(Below, we're still using linux.git with one hidden refs/pull/N ref per
commit):

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git

       20.00 ± 1.05 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'

In a similar fashion as a previous commit, teach `upload-pack` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

Note, however, that there are certain cases where cannot avoid
enumerating even hidden references, in particular when either of:

  - `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, or
  - `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`

are set, corresponding to `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` and `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1`,
respectively.

When either of these bits are set, upload-pack's `is_our_ref()` function
needs to consider the `HIDDEN_REF` bit of the referent's object flags.
So we must visit all references, including the hidden ones, in order to
mark their referents with the `HIDDEN_REF` bit.

When neither `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` nor `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1` are set, the
`is_our_ref()` function considers only the `OUR_REF` bit, and not the
`HIDDEN_REF` one. `OUR_REF` is applied via `mark_our_ref()`, and only
to objects at the tips of non-hidden references, so we do not need to
visit hidden references in this case.

When neither of those bits are set, `upload-pack` can potentially avoid
enumerating a large number of references. In the same example as a
previous commit (linux.git with one hidden reference per commit,
"refs/pull/N"):

    $ printf 0000 >in
    $ hyperfine --warmup=1 \
      'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.9 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 357.3 ms, System: 49.5 ms]
      Range (min … max):   405.7 ms … 409.2 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.5 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 356.5 ms, System: 49.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   404.6 ms … 408.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.1 ms    472 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' ran
       86.62 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in'
       86.70 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

As above, we must visit every reference when
uploadPack.allowTipSHA1InWant is set. But when it is unset, we can visit
far fewer references.

In a similar fashion as in previous commits, teach `ls-refs` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

As before, this is linux.git with one hidden reference per commit.

Nit: I had some trouble with `jump_pos` given that it sounds so similar
to `iter->pos`, and thus you tend to think that they both apply to the
position in the packed-refs file. `jump_curr` or `jump_idx` might help
to avoid this confusion.

Nit: we could detect the non-matching case here already, which would
allow us to skip an allocation. It's probably pre-mature optimization
though, so please feel free to ignore.

Nit: if we initialized `j = 0`, then `last_disjoint` would always be
equal to `iter->jump[j]`. We could then declare the variable inside of
the loop to make it a bit easier to understand.

I guess the proper way to fix this would be to introduce something like
a `strvec_push_nodup()` function that takes ownership. And in fact this
helper exists already, but it's declared as static. So we could get
around the ugly cast with a simple change to expose the helper function.

This statement isn't quite true as the following commit touches
git-receive-pack(1), which doesn't use `for_each_namespaced_ref_()`.

I didn't have many comments in this round. Personally though I'd split
up this patch series into two in order to land the individual parts
faster, where the first part introduces `git for-each-ref --exclude` and
the second part introduces the jump list for the packed-refs backend.

Each of these have merit on their own, and especially the first part
should require less discussion. Furthermore, by splitting it up the
review becomes easier to manage as 16 patches does require quite a long
attention span to handle.

Anyway, this is just a suggestion from my sided, please feel free to
ignore.

Here is a reroll of my series to implement jump (née skip) lists for the
packed refs backend, based on top of the current 'master'.

Nothing substantive has changed since the last version, where review had
stabilized. This version just resolves a couple of merge conflicts with
633390bd08 (Merge branch 'bc/clone-empty-repo-via-protocol-v0',
2023-05-19).

As usual, a range-diff is included below for convenience.

Thanks in advance for a hopefully final look ;-).

Jeff King (5):
  refs.c: rename `ref_filter`
  ref-filter.h: provide `REF_FILTER_INIT`
  ref-filter: clear reachable list pointers after freeing
  ref-filter: add `ref_filter_clear()`
  ref-filter.c: parameterize match functions over patterns

Taylor Blau (11):
  builtin/for-each-ref.c: add `--exclude` option
  refs: plumb `exclude_patterns` argument throughout
  refs/packed-backend.c: refactor `find_reference_location()`
  refs/packed-backend.c: implement jump lists to avoid excluded
    pattern(s)
  refs/packed-backend.c: add trace2 counters for jump list
  revision.h: store hidden refs in a `strvec`
  refs/packed-backend.c: ignore complicated hidden refs rules
  refs.h: let `for_each_namespaced_ref()` take excluded patterns
  builtin/receive-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden references
  upload-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
  ls-refs.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible

The refs machinery has its own implementation of a `ref_filter` (used by
`for-each-ref`), which is distinct from the `ref-filler.h` API (also
used by `for-each-ref`, among other things).

Rename the one within refs.c to more clearly indicate its purpose.

Provide a sane initialization value for `struct ref_filter`, which in a
subsequent patch will be used to initialize a new field.

In the meantime, fix a case in test-reach.c where its `ref_filter` is
not even zero-initialized.

In reach_filter(), we pop all commits from the reachable lists, leaving
them empty. But because we're operating on a list pointer that was
passed by value, the original filter.reachable_from pointer is left
dangling.

We did not bother to clean up at all in `git branch` or `git tag`, and
`git for-each-ref` only cleans up a couple of members.

Add and call `ref_filter_clear()` when cleaning up a `struct
ref_filter`. Running this patch (without any test changes) indicates a
couple of now leak-free tests. This was found by running:

    $ make SANITIZE=leak
    $ make -C t GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check GIT_TEST_OPTS=--immediate

(Note that the `reachable_from` and `unreachable_from` lists should be
cleaned as they are used. So this is just covering any case where we
might bail before running the reachability check.)

`match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` both take a `struct
ref_filter *`, and then store a stack variable `patterns` pointing at
`filter->patterns`.

The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
which patterns are being used to match.

Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
patterns to prepare for passing either in.

Once we start passing either in, `match_pattern()` will have little to
do with a particular `struct ref_filter *` instance. To clarify this,
drop it from the argument list, and replace it with the only bit of the
`ref_filter` that we care about (`filter->ignore_case`).

When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within `refs/packed-backend.c` that will cull out certain
references matching any of the given patterns on a best-effort basis.

To do so, the refs subsystem needs to be updated to pass this value
across a number of different locations.

Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.

When iterating through the `packed-refs` file in order to answer a query
like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude=refs/__hidden__

it would be useful to avoid walking over all of the entries in
`refs/__hidden__/*` when possible, since we know that the ref-filter
code is going to throw them away anyways.

In certain circumstances, doing so is possible. The algorithm for doing
so is as follows:

  - For each excluded pattern, find the first record that matches it,
    and the first record that *doesn't* match it (i.e. the location
    you'd next want to consider when excluding that pattern).

  - Sort the set of excluded regions from the previous step in ascending
    order of the first location within the `packed-refs` file that
    matches.

  - Clean up the results from the previous step: discard empty regions,
    and combine adjacent regions.

Then when iterating through the `packed-refs` file, if `iter->pos` is
ever contained in one of the regions from the previous steps, advance
`iter->pos` past the end of that region, and continue enumeration.

Note that we only perform this optimization when none of the excluded
pattern(s) have special meta-characters in them. For a pattern like
"refs/foo[ac]", the excluded regions ("refs/fooa", "refs/fooc", and
everything underneath them) are not connected. A future implementation
that handles this case may split the character class (pretending as if
two patterns were excluded: "refs/fooa", and "refs/fooc").

There are a few other gotchas worth considering. First, note that the
jump list is sorted, so once we jump past a region, we can avoid
considering it (or any regions preceding it) again. The member
`jump_pos` is used to track the first next-possible region to jump
through.

Second, note that the exclusion list is best-effort, since we do not
handle loose references, and because of the meta-character issue above.

In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up
can be significant. Tests here are done with a copy of linux.git with a
reference "refs/pull/N" pointing at every commit, as in:

    $ git rev-list HEAD | awk '{ print "create refs/pull/" NR " " $0 }' |
        git update-ref --stdin
    $ git pack-refs --all

, it is significantly faster to have `for-each-ref` jump over the
excluded references, as opposed to filtering them out after the fact:

    $ hyperfine \
      'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
    Benchmark 1: git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     802.7 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 691.6 ms, System: 147.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   800.0 ms … 807.7 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 4.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.7 ms    422 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' ran
      172.03 ± 9.60 times faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Using the jump list is fairly straightforward (see the changes to
`refs/packed-backend.c::next_record()`), but constructing the list is
not. To ensure that the construction is correct, add a new suite of
tests in t1419 covering various corner cases (overlapping regions,
partially overlapping regions, adjacent regions, etc.).

The previous commit added low-level tests to ensure that the packed-refs
iterator did not enumerate excluded sections of the refspace.

However, there was no guarantee that these sections weren't being
visited, only that they were being suppressed from the output. To harden
these tests, add a trace2 counter which tracks the number of regions
skipped by the packed-refs iterator, and assert on its value.

In subsequent commits, it will be convenient to have a 'const char **'
of hidden refs (matching `transfer.hiderefs`, `uploadpack.hideRefs`,
etc.), instead of a `string_list`.

Convert spots throughout the tree that store the list of hidden refs
from a `string_list` to a `strvec`.

Note that in `parse_hide_refs_config()` there is an ugly const-cast used
to avoid an extra copy of each value before trimming any trailing slash
characters. This could instead be written as:

    ref = xstrdup(value);
    len = strlen(ref);
    while (len && ref[len - 1] == '/')
            ref[--len] = '\0';
    strvec_push(hide_refs, ref);
    free(ref);

but the double-copy (once when calling `xstrdup()`, and another via
`strvec_push()`) is wasteful.

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new skip-list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref skip lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Detect
and avoid these cases by falling back to the normal enumeration without
a skip list when such patterns exist.

The following commit will want to call `for_each_namespaced_ref()` with
a list of excluded patterns.

We could introduce a variant of that function, say,
`for_each_namespaced_ref_exclude()` which takes the extra parameter, and
reimplement the original function in terms of that. But all but one
caller (in `http-backend.c`) will supply the new parameter, so add the
new parameter to `for_each_namespaced_ref()` itself instead of
introducing a new function.

For now, supply NULL for the list of excluded patterns at all callers to
avoid changing behavior, which we will do in the subsequent commit.

Now that `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` has the ability to avoid
enumerating references matching certain pattern(s), use that to avoid
visiting hidden refs when constructing the ref advertisement via
receive-pack.

Note that since this exclusion is best-effort, we still need
`show_ref_cb()` to check whether or not each reference is hidden or not
before including it in the advertisement.

As was the case when applying this same optimization to `upload-pack`,
`receive-pack`'s reference advertisement phase can proceed much quicker
by avoiding enumerating references that will not be part of the
advertisement.

(Below, we're still using linux.git with one hidden refs/pull/N ref per
commit):

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'

In a similar fashion as a previous commit, teach `upload-pack` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

Note, however, that there are certain cases where cannot avoid
enumerating even hidden references, in particular when either of:

  - `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, or
  - `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`

are set, corresponding to `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` and `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1`,
respectively.

When either of these bits are set, upload-pack's `is_our_ref()` function
needs to consider the `HIDDEN_REF` bit of the referent's object flags.
So we must visit all references, including the hidden ones, in order to
mark their referents with the `HIDDEN_REF` bit.

When neither `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` nor `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1` are set, the
`is_our_ref()` function considers only the `OUR_REF` bit, and not the
`HIDDEN_REF` one. `OUR_REF` is applied via `mark_our_ref()`, and only
to objects at the tips of non-hidden references, so we do not need to
visit hidden references in this case.

When neither of those bits are set, `upload-pack` can potentially avoid
enumerating a large number of references. In the same example as a
previous commit (linux.git with one hidden reference per commit,
"refs/pull/N"):

    $ printf 0000 >in
    $ hyperfine --warmup=1 \
      'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.9 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 357.3 ms, System: 49.5 ms]
      Range (min … max):   405.7 ms … 409.2 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.5 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 356.5 ms, System: 49.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   404.6 ms … 408.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.1 ms    472 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' ran
       86.62 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in'
       86.70 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

As above, we must visit every reference when
uploadPack.allowTipSHA1InWant is set. But when it is unset, we can visit
far fewer references.

In a similar fashion as in previous commits, teach `ls-refs` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

As before, this is linux.git with one hidden reference per commit.

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .'
    Benchmark 1: git -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .
      Time (mean ± σ):      89.8 ms ±   0.6 ms    [User: 84.3 ms, System: 5.7 ms]
      Range (min … max):    88.8 ms …  91.3 ms    32 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .
      Time (mean ± σ):       6.5 ms ±   0.1 ms    [User: 2.4 ms, System: 4.3 ms]
      Range (min … max):     6.2 ms …   8.3 ms    397 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .' ran
       13.85 ± 0.33 times faster than 'git -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .'

Hmph.  I kind of liked Patrick's suggestion to split this into two
series to make it easier for the earlier half to graduate faster,
but perhaps it didn't make much difference?  I certainly did not get
the impression that "review had stabilized".  During my review of
the initial round, for example, I lost steam in the middle because
it was simply too long a series and didn't have a chance to give the
remainder a proper review.  I do not know about others.

Is this merely "while at it", or was there a reason why refs_*
variant must be used here?  It is curious that we do not teach the
exclude_patterns to some functions like for_each_fullref_in() while
adding exclude_patterns to others, making the API surface uneven.

Say something like

   The resulting list of regions that would never contain refs that
   are not excluded is called the "jump list".

here, probably.  Otherwise the first reference to "jump list" we see
later feels a bit too abrupt.

I found this a bit misleading; a natural reading of "exclusion list"
is that the phrase refers to the list of exclude patterns given from
the command line, and users would be upset if the processing of it
is best effort.

I think what you meant to say was that optimization to avoid full
scan using the jump list does not aim for perfection, and entries
that are not skipped using the jump list may still be excluded by
the exclude patterns.

> In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up

"hidden" -> "excluded".  Your final objective to implement the
feature to exclude refs using patterns and optimize it using the
jump list data may be to implement "hidden references", but that
hasn't be talked about in the above.  All we have been hearing was
that we are optimizing the walk over packed-refs using exclude
patterns.

Hopefully the compiler would inline the function without being told.

These pointers point into the same mmapped region of contiguous
memory that holds the contents of the packed-refs file, so
comparison between them is always defined.  Good.

I wondered if

	return (x > y) ? x : y;

is easier to read, simply because it treats both cases more equally
(in other words, as written, (x>y) appears more "special"), but that
is minor.

OK.  When we have a "literal" exclude pattern and another "glob"
exclude pattern, we can afford to ignore the "glob" one when
building the jump list and include only the "literal" one, because
the jump list is used only to skip over entries that obviously can
never be in the result, *and* --exclude are additive (i.e. being
on jump list because of the "literal" pattern is a reason enough to
be excluded from the result; matching or not matching the other
patterns does not affect the fate of the ref that got excluded due
to matching the "literal" pattern).

Makes sense.

Good observation.  The presence of !refs/foo/bar in hide list
forbids us from adding refs/foo to the jump list, and it is the
simplest to disable the whole jump list business when we have such a
feature in use.

Makes sense.  Thanks.

Good question. This changes later in the series (via
"refs/packed-backend.c: implement jump lists to avoid excluded
pattern(s)") to pass the excluded patterns from the ref_filter.

There's no need to change it in this patch, since the functionality at
this point is equivalent in the pre- and post-image. I think this
staging is a consequence of having written much of this series before
committing anything, and then trying to segment it out into meaningful
patches after the fact.

We could plumb it through in more places, but my preference would be to
modify the API if/as new callers need to pass a list of excluded
patterns. The API has an enormous amount of surface area (and many
functions which take a ton of arguments), so I'd rather keep it small as
long as possible, even at the expense of some unevenness in its
interface.

Thanks,
Taylor

Good suggestion. I phrased it slightly differently in the version that

Yep, exactly. I think this was from an earlier version from before this
was called "jump lists", and I missed it when find-and-replacing
through the patch messages. Thanks for spotting.

Yeah, I think that any reasonable compiler would almost certainly inline
this, especially at higher optimization levels. But I agree with your
suggestion nonetheless, thanks.

Exactly.

Very fair, thanks for observing. I went with "jump_cur" (as a shorthand
for "cursor").

Probably so, this allocation is so lightweight in comparison to all of
the other things that for-each-ref does throughout its execution that I
think it's probably negligible to shave off a few allocations.

Sure, though we would then need to assign `iter->jump_nr = j + 1`, which
I think adds more confusion than inlining the variable is worth.

We could, but I'd prefer to explore doing so outside of this series,
since I think strvec_push_nodup() is a little bit of a footgun unless
you are thinking carefully about ownership. So making the function
part of the exposed API may be controversial.

Oops, well spotted. This was true when I wrote the series, but of course
I decided to swap the order of patches 14 and 15 with one another,
making this statement false. Good eyes ;-).

Thanks for reviewing, and for the good suggestion. I think that
splitting this series in two could be worthwhile, but I'm not sure I
want to make this change for v4.

You could imagine splitting the series there, where the first half would
implement the naive version of `for-each-ref --exclude`, and the second
half would implement jump lists, and make upload- and receive-pack take
advantage of it.

But I think that makes the first half trivial and leaves all of the
complexity in this series to the latter half. I suppose that makes it
easier to graduate the first six or so patches earlier, but they aren't
really all that useful without the remaining patches.

Another split might be:

  - the naive implementation of `for-each-ref --exclude`
  - jump lists, and using them within `for-each-ref`
  - teaching upload- and receive-pack to use the jump list

But juggling this series as three sub-topics feels like it would be
burdensome to the maintainer ;-). So I think I'd rather leave it as-is,
unless you feel strongly.

Thanks,
Taylor

Here is another reroll of my series to implement jump (née skip) lists
for the packed refs backend, based on top of the current 'master'.

Most changes are minor, limited to changing variable names, moving
changes around between patches and tweaking commit messages for clarity.
I think that the first 9 or so patches are stable, but we may want some
more eyes on the remainder.

As usual, a range-diff is included below for convenience.

Thanks in advance for your review.

The refs machinery has its own implementation of a `ref_filter` (used by
`for-each-ref`), which is distinct from the `ref-filler.h` API (also
used by `for-each-ref`, among other things).

Rename the one within refs.c to more clearly indicate its purpose.

Provide a sane initialization value for `struct ref_filter`, which in a
subsequent patch will be used to initialize a new field.

In the meantime, fix a case in test-reach.c where its `ref_filter` is
not even zero-initialized.

In reach_filter(), we pop all commits from the reachable lists, leaving
them empty. But because we're operating on a list pointer that was
passed by value, the original filter.reachable_from pointer is left
dangling.

We did not bother to clean up at all in `git branch` or `git tag`, and
`git for-each-ref` only cleans up a couple of members.

Add and call `ref_filter_clear()` when cleaning up a `struct
ref_filter`. Running this patch (without any test changes) indicates a
couple of now leak-free tests. This was found by running:

    $ make SANITIZE=leak
    $ make -C t GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check GIT_TEST_OPTS=--immediate

(Note that the `reachable_from` and `unreachable_from` lists should be
cleaned as they are used. So this is just covering any case where we
might bail before running the reachability check.)

`match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` both take a `struct
ref_filter *`, and then store a stack variable `patterns` pointing at
`filter->patterns`.

The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
which patterns are being used to match.

Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
patterns to prepare for passing either in.

Once we start passing either in, `match_pattern()` will have little to
do with a particular `struct ref_filter *` instance. To clarify this,
drop it from the argument list, and replace it with the only bit of the
`ref_filter` that we care about (`filter->ignore_case`).

When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within `refs/packed-backend.c` that will cull out certain
references matching any of the given patterns on a best-effort basis.

To do so, the refs subsystem needs to be updated to pass this value
across a number of different locations.

Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.

When iterating through the `packed-refs` file in order to answer a query
like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude=refs/__hidden__

it would be useful to avoid walking over all of the entries in
`refs/__hidden__/*` when possible, since we know that the ref-filter
code is going to throw them away anyways.

In certain circumstances, doing so is possible. The algorithm for doing
so is as follows:

  - For each excluded pattern, find the first record that matches it,
    and the first record that *doesn't* match it (i.e. the location
    you'd next want to consider when excluding that pattern).

  - Sort the set of excluded regions from the previous step in ascending
    order of the first location within the `packed-refs` file that
    matches.

  - Clean up the results from the previous step: discard empty regions,
    and combine adjacent regions. The set of regions which remains is
    referred to as the "jump list", and never contains any references
    which should be included in the result set.

Then when iterating through the `packed-refs` file, if `iter->pos` is
ever contained in one of the regions from the previous steps, advance
`iter->pos` past the end of that region, and continue enumeration.

Note that we only perform this optimization when none of the excluded
pattern(s) have special meta-characters in them. For a pattern like
"refs/foo[ac]", the excluded regions ("refs/fooa", "refs/fooc", and
everything underneath them) are not connected. A future implementation
that handles this case may split the character class (pretending as if
two patterns were excluded: "refs/fooa", and "refs/fooc").

There are a few other gotchas worth considering. First, note that the
jump list is sorted, so once we jump past a region, we can avoid
considering it (or any regions preceding it) again. The member
`jump_pos` is used to track the first next-possible region to jump
through.

Second, note that the jump list is best-effort, since we do not handle
loose references, and because of the meta-character issue above. The
jump list may not skip past all references which won't appear in the
results, but will never skip over a reference which does appear in the
result set.

In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up
can be significant. Tests here are done with a copy of linux.git with a
reference "refs/pull/N" pointing at every commit, as in:

    $ git rev-list HEAD | awk '{ print "create refs/pull/" NR " " $0 }' |
        git update-ref --stdin
    $ git pack-refs --all

, it is significantly faster to have `for-each-ref` jump over the
excluded references, as opposed to filtering them out after the fact:

    $ hyperfine \
      'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
    Benchmark 1: git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     802.7 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 691.6 ms, System: 147.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   800.0 ms … 807.7 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 4.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.7 ms    422 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' ran
      172.03 ± 9.60 times faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Using the jump list is fairly straightforward (see the changes to
`refs/packed-backend.c::next_record()`), but constructing the list is
not. To ensure that the construction is correct, add a new suite of
tests in t1419 covering various corner cases (overlapping regions,
partially overlapping regions, adjacent regions, etc.).

The previous commit added low-level tests to ensure that the packed-refs
iterator did not enumerate excluded sections of the refspace.

However, there was no guarantee that these sections weren't being
visited, only that they were being suppressed from the output. To harden
these tests, add a trace2 counter which tracks the number of regions
skipped by the packed-refs iterator, and assert on its value.

In subsequent commits, it will be convenient to have a 'const char **'
of hidden refs (matching `transfer.hiderefs`, `uploadpack.hideRefs`,
etc.), instead of a `string_list`.

Convert spots throughout the tree that store the list of hidden refs
from a `string_list` to a `strvec`.

Note that in `parse_hide_refs_config()` there is an ugly const-cast used
to avoid an extra copy of each value before trimming any trailing slash
characters. This could instead be written as:

    ref = xstrdup(value);
    len = strlen(ref);
    while (len && ref[len - 1] == '/')
            ref[--len] = '\0';
    strvec_push(hide_refs, ref);
    free(ref);

but the double-copy (once when calling `xstrdup()`, and another via
`strvec_push()`) is wasteful.

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new jump list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref jump lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Detect
and avoid these cases by falling back to the normal enumeration without
a jump list when such patterns exist.

A future commit will want to call `for_each_namespaced_ref()` with
a list of excluded patterns.

We could introduce a variant of that function, say,
`for_each_namespaced_ref_exclude()` which takes the extra parameter, and
reimplement the original function in terms of that. But all but one
caller (in `http-backend.c`) will supply the new parameter, so add the
new parameter to `for_each_namespaced_ref()` itself instead of
introducing a new function.

For now, supply NULL for the list of excluded patterns at all callers to
avoid changing behavior, which we will do in a future change.

Now that `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` has the ability to avoid
enumerating references matching certain pattern(s), use that to avoid
visiting hidden refs when constructing the ref advertisement via
receive-pack.

Note that since this exclusion is best-effort, we still need
`show_ref_cb()` to check whether or not each reference is hidden or not
before including it in the advertisement.

As was the case when applying this same optimization to `upload-pack`,
`receive-pack`'s reference advertisement phase can proceed much quicker
by avoiding enumerating references that will not be part of the
advertisement.

(Below, we're still using linux.git with one hidden refs/pull/N ref per
commit):

In a similar fashion as a previous commit, teach `upload-pack` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

Note, however, that there are certain cases where cannot avoid
enumerating even hidden references, in particular when either of:

  - `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, or
  - `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`

are set, corresponding to `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` and `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1`,
respectively.

When either of these bits are set, upload-pack's `is_our_ref()` function
needs to consider the `HIDDEN_REF` bit of the referent's object flags.
So we must visit all references, including the hidden ones, in order to
mark their referents with the `HIDDEN_REF` bit.

When neither `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` nor `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1` are set, the
`is_our_ref()` function considers only the `OUR_REF` bit, and not the
`HIDDEN_REF` one. `OUR_REF` is applied via `mark_our_ref()`, and only
to objects at the tips of non-hidden references, so we do not need to
visit hidden references in this case.

When neither of those bits are set, `upload-pack` can potentially avoid
enumerating a large number of references. In the same example as a
previous commit (linux.git with one hidden reference per commit,
"refs/pull/N"):

    $ printf 0000 >in
    $ hyperfine --warmup=1 \
      'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.9 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 357.3 ms, System: 49.5 ms]
      Range (min … max):   405.7 ms … 409.2 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.5 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 356.5 ms, System: 49.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   404.6 ms … 408.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.1 ms    472 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' ran
       86.62 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in'
       86.70 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

As above, we must visit every reference when
uploadPack.allowTipSHA1InWant is set. But when it is unset, we can visit
far fewer references.

In a similar fashion as in previous commits, teach `ls-refs` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

As before, this is linux.git with one hidden reference per commit.

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .'
    Benchmark 1: git -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .
      Time (mean ± σ):      89.8 ms ±   0.6 ms    [User: 84.3 ms, System: 5.7 ms]
      Range (min … max):    88.8 ms …  91.3 ms    32 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .
      Time (mean ± σ):       6.5 ms ±   0.1 ms    [User: 2.4 ms, System: 4.3 ms]
      Range (min … max):     6.2 ms …   8.3 ms    397 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .' ran
       13.85 ± 0.33 times faster than 'git -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .'

Having seen how this is used (only at a single callsite), I actually
think that special casing (x>y) is the right thing to do, especially
if you inline it in the caller.  That is,

	if (last_disjoint->end < ours->end)
		last_disjoint->end = ours->end;

reads much more naturally than

	last_disjoint->end = (last_disjoint->end > ours->end)
		? last_disjoint->end : ours_end;

as a way to say "if ours is larger, record it as the largest
position we have seen so far".

This test-reach case scared me, but it happens to work now because
commit_contains() only looks at the one field that we set. So we're not
fixing a bug, but more like a bug waiting to happen. :)

Yep. This isn't a bug (yet) because nobody looks at the now-dangling
pointer. So as with the last patch, we're future-proofing ourselves
against dangerous situations.

And this is the one that benefits from the earlier future-proofing. :)

(In case anyone is wondering why I am reviewing my own commits, it's
because Taylor and I worked on this topic together off-list, but he
wrote the commit messages after I dumped a bunch of cleanups on him).

I was a little surprised by adding init() here, but we need it at the
end of clear(). So this is an OK place for it (the other option would be
in the earlier INIT patch, but it would be unused until now).

...wouldn't we then want to do the same for match_name_as_path()?

I.e., this:

Also, I noticed that you declared it as "const int ignore_case" in
match_pattern(). That's not wrong, but we usually do not bother (it is
passed by value, so const-ness is irrelevant to the caller, and the
compiler can see inside the function that the value is not changed and
optimize appropriately).

I wonder if we should be advertising this in a docstring comment above
the relevant function. The problem may be that there are several such
functions. I just think that it's a gotcha that may affect somebody who
wants to call the function, and they're not going to think to dig up
this commit message.

This measurement is cheating a little, I think, because the earlier
patch to implement --exclude sped that up from ~800ms to ~100ms (because
we avoid writing and all of the ref-filter malloc slowness for the
excluded entries). So the better comparison is between two invocations
with "--exclude", but before/after this patch. You should still see a
20x speedup (100ms down to 5).

It took me a minute to convince myself that this second "break" was
right. If we get to it, we know that iter->pos (the current record we
are looking at) is in the current jump region. So it makes sense to
advance to curr->end. But might we hit another jump region immediately?

I guess not, because earlier we would have coalesced the jump regions.
So either there is a non-excluded entry there _or_ we would have
coalesced the later region into a single larger region. So breaking is
the right thing to do.

OK, and here's where we could split "foo[ac]" into "fooa" and "foob" if
we wanted. But I think it is a very good idea to leave that out of this

Dropping empty regions makes sense, but our iteration starts at "1"
(because the rest of the checks are inherently looking at last_disjoint
before deciding if each region is worth keeping). So we'd fail to throw
away iter->jump[0] if it is empty, I think.

That could be fixed here by iterating from 0 and checking for a NULL
last_disjoint, but maybe it would be easier to avoid allocating at all
in the earlier loop, when we find that start == end?

OK, this covers both ([A,C],[B,D]) via "<" and ([A,B],[B,C]) via "=".
Good.

And this is the rest. Good. There's an extra blank line here before the
closing brace.

I saw strvec_push_nodup() suggested here. I'm OK leaving it like this
for now, but I do think we'll want that in the long run.

I'm a fan of punting on such cases to keep things simple and

This is deep in the packed-refs code, but the magic of "!" and "^" are
specific to ref_is_hidden().

So if I did:

  git for-each-ref --exclude='!refs/heads/foo'

my understanding is that "!" would _not_ have an affect normally, but
now it is turning off this optimization.

The point may be somewhat academic for "^", as it is not allowed in a
refname anyway. But I don't think "!" is forbidden (as stupid as it
would be to include it in this way), is it?

It feels like the hiderefs code should be the one checking for these,
and then feeding only non-adorned refnames to the "exclude" list (though
there is no need to un-adorn them; once we see any with either form of
magic, we know we cannot use this "exclude" feature at all).

Something along the lines of (you'd want a similar tweak for
upload-pack):

Both of these are noops if uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant is set, or if
we are using the v2 protocol. Setting both allowAny and allowTip is
sufficiently stupid that I don't care much that they lose out on an
optimization. But I could see somebody setting one of those for the
benefit of v0 clients, but then also serving v2 clients (which
effectively ignore those restrictions).

I guess v2 clients don't hit this code at all (they are handled by
ls-refs, which comes in the next patch). So that just leaves the case
that allowAny is set. By itself the optimization should kick in (good).
With allowTip or allowReachable it would not, but that is the "this is
stupid" case in which it is OK to fall back to the existing behavior
(even though we _could_ enable the optimization). OTOH, it would be easy
to check it, as it's just another bit in allow_uor.

I'm OK going either way.

Very nice. I think this may have big real-world consequences for certain
repositories on forges (where they may accrue a large number of hidden
metadata like refs/pull).

I had been avoiding reading this series too carefully, as I was involved
in many of the early patches. But now it's been long enough that I
mostly forgot everything, so I could look at it with fresh eyes. ;) Plus
the hidden-refs bits at the end were totally new to me.

It looks good to me overall. I left a few small comments, some of which
I think probably justify a re-roll.

Good point, I updated the commit message to more clearly signal that
this isn't fixing a bug, but rather preventing one.

I used to write more patches in this style where I would add as much of
a new API as possible as early as possible in the series. But I think
reviewers seem to have an easier time reviewing API additions in the
same patch that adds their caller.

So I tend to agree that this patch is probably a good spot to introduce
`ref_filter_init()`. But if you feel strongly, I'm happy to drag it
around.

Thanks,
Taylor

Yes, definitely :-). I'm not sure how I missed this, since the patch
message even says that `match_name_as_path()` gets the same treatment as
the other function.

But in any case, I obviously agree (and the diff below makes sense to
me). Applied.

Indeed :-).

Ah, this is missing one more spot (that we wouldn't complain about

Heh, yes. I was applying them in order, and had to make the same fixup
on top of the next patch. I think that was the only other fallout as I
applied the rest, though.

I agree. I included a build from the previous commit in this benchmark.
As expected, it's around ~100ms, but at least it gives readers a clearer
picture of how performance changes as a result of this patch.

Exactly. I added a short comment to this effect to hopefully avoid any

Yeah, I agree with this. I think Patrick made a similar suggestion in an
earlier response, and I decided not to take it since it makes the patch
more verbose.

But I think that avoiding the empty region special case is worth it.
Thanks, both :-).

Yeah, that makes sense -- I agree that it is silly to have a reference
with "!" at the beginning, but since it's allowed we should absolutely
support it.

Yep. Here's the extra tweak for upload-pack:

As am I, though I agree that checking for it is not hard. The return
value of `allow_hidden_refs()` as currently written is confusing, so
here's an inversion of that function with this suggestion on top:

Here is another reroll of my series to implement jump (née skip) lists
for the packed refs backend, based on top of the current 'master'.

This responds to a review of the entire series that Peff gave a couple
of weeks ago[1], which should satisfy all of the comments that he
raised, most of which were relatively minor.

The notable changes from last time are:

  - clarifying some commit messages, notably to explicitly state that
    certain clean-ups do not indicate existing bugs, but are defensive
    against potential future ones
  - polishing up some of the API changes, to avoid having
    `match_name_as_path()` take a ref_filter pointer.
  - more timing data and documentation in the first substantive patch
  - clean-up in the upload-pack.c to make the changes clearer

As usual, a range-diff is included below for convenience.

Thanks in advance for your review!

The refs machinery has its own implementation of a `ref_filter` (used by
`for-each-ref`), which is distinct from the `ref-filter.h` API (also
used by `for-each-ref`, among other things).

Rename the one within refs.c to more clearly indicate its purpose.

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Provide a sane initialization value for `struct ref_filter`, which in a
subsequent patch will be used to initialize a new field.

In the meantime, ensure that the `ref_filter` struct used in the
test-helper's `cmd__reach()` is zero-initialized. The lack of
initialization is OK, since `commit_contains()` only looks at the single
`with_commit_tag_algo` field that *is* initialized directly above.

So this does not fix a bug, but rather prevents one from biting us in
the future.

In `reach_filter()`, we pop all commits from the reachable lists,
leaving them empty. But because we're operating on a list pointer that
was passed by value, the original `filter.reachable_from` and
`filter.unreachable_from` pointers are left dangling.

As is the case with the previous commit, nobody touches either of these
fields after calling `reach_filter()`, so leaving them dangling is OK.
But this future proofs against dangerous situations.

We did not bother to clean up at all in `git branch` or `git tag`, and
`git for-each-ref` only cleans up a couple of members.

Add and call `ref_filter_clear()` when cleaning up a `struct
ref_filter`. Running this patch (without any test changes) indicates a
couple of now leak-free tests. This was found by running:

    $ make SANITIZE=leak
    $ make -C t GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check GIT_TEST_OPTS=--immediate

(Note that the `reachable_from` and `unreachable_from` lists should be
cleaned as they are used. So this is just covering any case where we
might bail before running the reachability check.)

`match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` both take a `struct
ref_filter *`, and then store a stack variable `patterns` pointing at
`filter->patterns`.

The subsequent patch will add a new array of patterns to match over (the
excluded patterns, via a new `git for-each-ref --exclude` option),
treating the return value of these functions differently depending on
which patterns are being used to match.

Tweak `match_pattern()` and `match_name_as_path()` to take an array of
patterns to prepare for passing either in.

Once we start passing either in, `match_pattern()` will have little to
do with a particular `struct ref_filter *` instance. To clarify this,
drop it from the argument list, and replace it with the only bit of the
`ref_filter` that we care about (`filter->ignore_case`).

When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within `refs/packed-backend.c` that will cull out certain
references matching any of the given patterns on a best-effort basis.

To do so, the refs subsystem needs to be updated to pass this value
across a number of different locations.

Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.

When iterating through the `packed-refs` file in order to answer a query
like:

    $ git for-each-ref --exclude=refs/__hidden__

it would be useful to avoid walking over all of the entries in
`refs/__hidden__/*` when possible, since we know that the ref-filter
code is going to throw them away anyways.

In certain circumstances, doing so is possible. The algorithm for doing
so is as follows:

  - For each excluded pattern, find the first record that matches it,
    and the first record that *doesn't* match it (i.e. the location
    you'd next want to consider when excluding that pattern).

  - Sort the set of excluded regions from the previous step in ascending
    order of the first location within the `packed-refs` file that
    matches.

  - Clean up the results from the previous step: discard empty regions,
    and combine adjacent regions. The set of regions which remains is
    referred to as the "jump list", and never contains any references
    which should be included in the result set.

Then when iterating through the `packed-refs` file, if `iter->pos` is
ever contained in one of the regions from the previous steps, advance
`iter->pos` past the end of that region, and continue enumeration.

Note that we only perform this optimization when none of the excluded
pattern(s) have special meta-characters in them. For a pattern like
"refs/foo[ac]", the excluded regions ("refs/fooa", "refs/fooc", and
everything underneath them) are not connected. A future implementation
that handles this case may split the character class (pretending as if
two patterns were excluded: "refs/fooa", and "refs/fooc").

There are a few other gotchas worth considering. First, note that the
jump list is sorted, so once we jump past a region, we can avoid
considering it (or any regions preceding it) again. The member
`jump_pos` is used to track the first next-possible region to jump
through.

Second, note that the jump list is best-effort, since we do not handle
loose references, and because of the meta-character issue above. The
jump list may not skip past all references which won't appear in the
results, but will never skip over a reference which does appear in the
result set.

In repositories with a large number of hidden references, the speed-up
can be significant. Tests here are done with a copy of linux.git with a
reference "refs/pull/N" pointing at every commit, as in:

    $ git rev-list HEAD | awk '{ print "create refs/pull/" NR " " $0 }' |
        git update-ref --stdin
    $ git pack-refs --all

, it is significantly faster to have `for-each-ref` jump over the
excluded references, as opposed to filtering them out after the fact:

    $ hyperfine \
      'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.prev for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
    Benchmark 1: git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     798.1 ms ±   3.3 ms    [User: 687.6 ms, System: 146.4 ms]
      Range (min … max):   794.5 ms … 805.5 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.prev for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):      98.9 ms ±   1.4 ms    [User: 93.1 ms, System: 5.7 ms]
      Range (min … max):    97.0 ms … 104.0 ms    29 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.5 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.8 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.1 ms …   5.8 ms    524 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"' ran
       21.87 ± 1.05 times faster than 'git.prev for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude="refs/pull"'
      176.52 ± 8.19 times faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "^[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

(Comparing stock git and this patch isn't quite fair, since an earlier
commit in this series adds a naive implementation of the `--exclude`
option. `git.prev` is built from the previous commit and includes this
naive implementation).

Using the jump list is fairly straightforward (see the changes to
`refs/packed-backend.c::next_record()`), but constructing the list is
not. To ensure that the construction is correct, add a new suite of
tests in t1419 covering various corner cases (overlapping regions,
partially overlapping regions, adjacent regions, etc.).

The previous commit added low-level tests to ensure that the packed-refs
iterator did not enumerate excluded sections of the refspace.

However, there was no guarantee that these sections weren't being
visited, only that they were being suppressed from the output. To harden
these tests, add a trace2 counter which tracks the number of regions
skipped by the packed-refs iterator, and assert on its value.

In subsequent commits, it will be convenient to have a 'const char **'
of hidden refs (matching `transfer.hiderefs`, `uploadpack.hideRefs`,
etc.), instead of a `string_list`.

Convert spots throughout the tree that store the list of hidden refs
from a `string_list` to a `strvec`.

Note that in `parse_hide_refs_config()` there is an ugly const-cast used
to avoid an extra copy of each value before trimming any trailing slash
characters. This could instead be written as:

    ref = xstrdup(value);
    len = strlen(ref);
    while (len && ref[len - 1] == '/')
            ref[--len] = '\0';
    strvec_push(hide_refs, ref);
    free(ref);

but the double-copy (once when calling `xstrdup()`, and another via
`strvec_push()`) is wasteful.

A future commit will want to call `for_each_namespaced_ref()` with
a list of excluded patterns.

We could introduce a variant of that function, say,
`for_each_namespaced_ref_exclude()` which takes the extra parameter, and
reimplement the original function in terms of that. But all but one
caller (in `http-backend.c`) will supply the new parameter, so add the
new parameter to `for_each_namespaced_ref()` itself instead of
introducing a new function.

For now, supply NULL for the list of excluded patterns at all callers to
avoid changing behavior, which we will do in a future change.

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new jump list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref jump lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Add a
convenience function to the refs.h API to detect when either of these
conditions are met, and returns an appropriate value to pass as excluded
patterns.

Now that `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` has the ability to avoid
enumerating references matching certain pattern(s), use that to avoid
visiting hidden refs when constructing the ref advertisement via
receive-pack.

Note that since this exclusion is best-effort, we still need
`show_ref_cb()` to check whether or not each reference is hidden or not
before including it in the advertisement.

As was the case when applying this same optimization to `upload-pack`,
`receive-pack`'s reference advertisement phase can proceed much quicker
by avoiding enumerating references that will not be part of the
advertisement.

(Below, we're still using linux.git with one hidden refs/pull/N ref per
commit):

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git
      Time (mean ± σ):      89.1 ms ±   1.7 ms    [User: 82.0 ms, System: 7.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):    87.7 ms …  95.5 ms    31 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.5 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.5 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.1 ms …   5.6 ms    508 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git' ran
       20.00 ± 1.05 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull receive-pack --advertise-refs .git'

In a similar fashion as a previous commit, teach `upload-pack` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

Note, however, that there are certain cases where cannot avoid
enumerating even hidden references, in particular when either of:

  - `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, or
  - `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`

are set, corresponding to `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` and `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1`,
respectively.

When either of these bits are set, upload-pack's `is_our_ref()` function
needs to consider the `HIDDEN_REF` bit of the referent's object flags.
So we must visit all references, including the hidden ones, in order to
mark their referents with the `HIDDEN_REF` bit.

When neither `ALLOW_TIP_SHA1` nor `ALLOW_REACHABLE_SHA1` are set, the
`is_our_ref()` function considers only the `OUR_REF` bit, and not the
`HIDDEN_REF` one. `OUR_REF` is applied via `mark_our_ref()`, and only
to objects at the tips of non-hidden references, so we do not need to
visit hidden references in this case.

When neither of those bits are set, `upload-pack` can potentially avoid
enumerating a large number of references. In the same example as a
previous commit (linux.git with one hidden reference per commit,
"refs/pull/N"):

    $ printf 0000 >in
    $ hyperfine --warmup=1 \
      'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in' \
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'
    Benchmark 1: git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.9 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 357.3 ms, System: 49.5 ms]
      Range (min … max):   405.7 ms … 409.2 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     406.5 ms ±   1.3 ms    [User: 356.5 ms, System: 49.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   404.6 ms … 408.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       4.7 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 0.7 ms, System: 3.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):     4.3 ms …   6.1 ms    472 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in' ran
       86.62 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git.compile -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull -c uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant upload-pack . <in'
       86.70 ± 4.33 times faster than 'git -c transfer.hideRefs=refs/pull upload-pack . <in'

As above, we must visit every reference when
uploadPack.allowTipSHA1InWant is set. But when it is unset, we can visit
far fewer references.

In a similar fashion as in previous commits, teach `ls-refs` to avoid
enumerating hidden references where possible.

As before, this is linux.git with one hidden reference per commit.

    $ hyperfine -L v ,.compile 'git{v} -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .'
    Benchmark 1: git -c protocol.version=2 ls-remote .
      Time (mean ± σ):      89.8 ms ±   0.6 ms    [User: 84.3 ms, System: 5.7 ms]

      Range (min … max):     6.2 ms …   8.3 ms    397 runs

I've skimmed the whole set again and nothing jumped at me as an
unexpected change.  Let's wait for a few days to see if we have
others comment on the patches and then merge it down to 'next'
unless there is something spotted in there.

Thanks.

The patch series looks good to me, too, so please feel free to add my
Reviewed-by. Thanks for these exciting changes!
