When a commit has more than a certain number of changed paths (commonly
512), the commit-graph machinery represents it as a zero-length filter.
This is done since having many entries in the Bloom filter has
undesirable effects on the false positivity rate.

In addition to these too-large filters, the commit-graph machinery also
represents commits with no filter and commits with no changed paths in
the same way.

When writing a commit-graph that aggregates several incremental
commit-graph layers (eg., with '--split=replace'), the commit-graph
machinery first computes all of the Bloom filters that it wants to write
but does not already know about from existing graph layers. Because we
overload the zero-length filter in the above fashion, this leads to
recomputing large filters over and over again.

This is already undesirable, since it means that we are wasting
considerable effort to discover that a commit with too many changed
paths, only to throw that effort away (and then repeat the process the
next time a roll-up is performed).

In a subsequent patch, we will add a '--max-new-filters=<n>' option,
which specifies an upper-bound on the number of new filters we are
willing to compute from scratch. Suppose that there are 'N' too-large
filters, and we specify '--max-new-filters=M'. If 'N >= M', it is
unlikely that any filters will be generated, since we'll spend most of
our effort on filters that we ultimately throw away. If 'N < M', filters
will trickle in over time, but only at most 'M - N' per-write.

To address this, add a new chunk which encodes a bitmap where the ith
bit is on iff the ith commit has zero or at least 512 changed paths.
Likewise store the maximum number of changed paths we are willing to
store in order to prepare for eventually making this value more easily
customizable. When computing Bloom filters, first consult the relevant
bitmap (in the case that we are rolling up existing layers) to see if
computing the Bloom filter from scratch would be a waste of time.

This patch implements a new chunk instead of extending the existing BIDX
and BDAT chunks because modifying these chunks would confuse old
clients. (Eg., setting the most-significant bit in the BIDX chunk would
confuse old clients and require a version bump).

To allow using the existing bitmap code with 64-bit words, we write the
data in network byte order from the 64-bit words. This means we also
need to read the array from the commit-graph file by translating each
word from network byte order using get_be64() upon first use of the
bitmap. This is only used when writing the commit-graph, so this is a
relatively small operation compared to the other writing code.

By avoiding the need to move to new versions of the BDAT and BIDX chunk,
we can give ourselves more time to consider whether or not other
modifications to these chunks are worthwhile without holding up this
change.

Another approach would be to introduce a new BIDX chunk (say, one
identified by 'BID2') which is identical to the existing BIDX chunk,
except the most-significant bit of each offset is interpreted as "this
filter is too big" iff looking at a BID2 chunk. This avoids having to
write a bitmap, but forces older clients to rewrite their commit-graphs
(as well as reduces the theoretical largest Bloom filters we couldl
write, and forces us to maintain the code necessary to translate BIDX
chunks to BID2 ones). Separately from this patch, I implemented this
alternate approach and did not find it to be advantageous.

Hmph, is the API rich enough to allow users to release the resource
used by such an embedded bitmap?  I ask becuase...

... this hunk cannot be possibly correct as-is, and cannot be made
correct without changing g->bloom_large to a pointer into a heap
allocated bitmap, because bitmap_free() wants to not just release
the resource held by the bitmap but the bitmap itself.

Yuck, that's definitely wrong. Serves me right for sneaking this in
after I had run `git rebase -x 'make -j40 DEVELOPER=1 test'
upstream/master` ;-).

Below the scissors line should do the trick. It should apply cleanly at
this point in the series, but it'll produce a compilation failure on the
very last patch (fixing it is straightforward and looks like the
following diff):

Is this correct, or shouldn't it be bitmap_free() instead?

Ack, that should be 'bitmap_free()'. Double checking, 'bitmap_free' does
handle a 'NULL' argument like 'free', so dealing with an old
commit-graph lacking this chunk will work fine.

Thanks for catching my mistake. I'm off tomorrow, Friday, and Monday,
so my responses from now on may be intermittent, but I should have some
time.

Thanks,
Taylor

I'm back :). Let's squash the following into patch (bearing in mind that
you'll have to drop a '&' in the final patch of this series as a result
of this change):

--- >8 ---

Subject: [PATCH] fixup! commit-graph: add large-filters bitmap chunk

Makes the commit-graph's 'bloom_large' bitmap a pointer so that it can
be managed with the standard bitmap APIs.
