This part introduces the concept of a heuristic that a bundle list can advertise. The purpose of the heuristic is to hint to the Git client that the bundles can be downloaded and unbundled in a certain order. In particular, that order can assist with using the same bundle URI to download new bundles from an updated bundle list. This allows bundle URIs to assist with incremental fetches, not just initial clones. The only planned heuristic is the "creationToken" heuristic where the bundle list adds a 64-bit unsigned integer "creationToken" value to each bundle in the list. Those values provide an ordering on the bundles implying that the bundles can be unbundled in increasing creationToken order and at each point the required commits for the ith bundle were provided by bundles with lower creationTokens. At clone time, the only difference implied by the creationToken order is that the Git client does not need to guess at the order to apply the bundles, but instead can use the creationToken order to apply them without failure and retry. However, this presents an interesting benefit during fetches: the Git client can check the bundle list and download bundles in decreasing creationToken order until the required commits for these bundles are present within the repository's object store. This prevents downloading more bundle information than required. The creationToken value is also a promise that the Git client will not need to download a bundle if its creationToken is less than or equal to the creationToken of a previously-downloaded bundle. This further improves the performance during a fetch in that the client does not need to download any bundles at all if it recognizes that the maximum creationToken is the same (or smaller than) a previously-downloaded creationToken. The creationToken concept is documented in the existing design document at Documentation/technical/bundle-uri.txt, including suggested ways for bundle providers to organize their bundle lists to take advantage of the heuristic. This series formalizes the creationToken heuristic and the Git client logic for understanding it. Further, for bundle lists provided by the git clone --bundle-uri option, the Git client will recognize the heuristic as being helpful for incremental fetches and store config values so that future git fetch commands check the bundle list before communicating with any Git remotes. Note that this option does not integrate fetches with bundle lists advertised via protocol v2. I spent some time working on this, but found the implementation to be distinct enough that it merited its own attention in a separate series. In particular, the configuration for indicating that a fetch should check the bundle-uri protocol v2 command seemed best to be located within a Git remote instead of a repository-global key such as is being used for a static URI. Further, the timing of querying the bundle-uri command during a git fetch command is significantly different and more complicated than how it is used in git clone. What Remains? ============= Originally, I had planned on making this bundle URI work a 5-part series, and this is part 5. Shouldn't we be done now? There are two main things that should be done after this series, in any order: * Teach git fetch to check a bundle list advertised by a remote over the bundle-uri protocol v2 command. * Add the bundle..filter option to allow advertising bundles and partial bundles side-by-side. There is also room for expanding tests for more error conditions, or for other tweaks that are not currently part of the design document. I do think that after this series, the feature will be easier to work on different parts in parallel. Patch Outline ============= * (New in v3) Patch 1 tests the behavior of 'git bundle verify' and 'git bundle unbundle' when in the strange situation where a prerequisite commit exists in the object store but is not closed under reachability (necessarily not reachable from refs, too). This helps motivate the new Patch 2. * (New in v3) Patch 2 updates the behavior in verify_bundle() to use the check_connected() * Patch 3 creates a test setup demonstrating a creationToken heuristic. At this point, the Git client ignores the heuristic and uses its ad-hoc strategy for ordering the bundles. * Patches 4 and 5 teach Git to parse the bundle.heuristic and bundle..creationToken keys in a bundle list. * Patch 6 teaches Git to download bundles using the creationToken order. This order uses a stack approach to start from the maximum creationToken and continue downloading the next bundle in the list until all bundles can successfully be unbundled. This is the algorithm required for incremental fetches, while initial clones could download in the opposite order. Since clones will download all bundles anyway, having a second code path just for clones seemed unnecessary. * Patch 7 teaches git clone --bundle-uri to set fetch.bundleURI when the advertised bundle list includs a heuristic that Git understands. * Patch 8 updates the design document to remove reference to a bundle.flag option that was previously going to indicate the list was designed for fetches, but the bundle.heuristic option already does that. * Patch 9 teaches git fetch to check fetch.bundleURI and download bundles from that static URI before connecting to remotes via the Git protocol. * Patch 10 introduces a new fetch.bundleCreationToken config value to store the maximum creationToken of downloaded bundles. This prevents downloading the latest bundle on every git fetch command, reducing waste. * Patch 11 adds new tests for interesting incremental fetch shapes. Along with other test edits in other patches, these revealed several issues that required improvement within this series. These tests also check extra cases around failed bundle downloads. Updates in v3 ============= * Patches 1 and 2 are replacements for v3's patch 1. Instead of skipping the reachability walk, make it slightly more flexible by using check_connected(). The first patch adds tests that cover this behavior, which was previously untested. * Patch 6 replaces the "stack_operation" label with a "move" label. * Patch 9 simplifies nested ifs to use &&. * Patch 11 updates some incorrect test comments. Updates in v2 ============= * Patches 1 and 10 are new. * I started making the extra tests in patch 10 due to Victoria's concern around failed downloads. I extended the bundle list in a way that exposed other issues that are fixed in this version. Unfortunately, the test requires the full functionality of the entire series, so the tests are not isolated to where the code fixes are made. One thing that I noticed in the process is that some of the tests were using the local-clone trick to copy full object directories instead of copying only the requested object set. This was causing confusion in how the bundles were applying or failing to apply, so the tests are updated to use http whenever possible. * In Patch 2, I created a new test_remote_https_urls helper to get the full download list (in order). In this patch, the bundle download order is not well-defined, but is modified in later tests when it becomes well-defined. * In Patch 3, I updated the connection between config value and enum value to be an array of pairs instead of faking a hashmap-like interface that could be dangerous if the enum values were assigned incorrectly. * In Patch 5, the 'sorted' list and its type was renamed to be more descriptive. This also included updates to "append_bundle()" and "compare_creation_token_decreasing()" to be more descriptive. This had some side effects in Patch 8 due to the renames. * In Patch 5, I added the interesting bundle shape to the commit message to remind us of why the creationToken algorithm needs to be the way it is. I also removed the "stack" language in favor of discussing ranges of the sorted list. Some renames, such as "pop_or_push" is changed to "move_direction", resulted from this change of language. * The assignment of heuristic from the local list to global_list was moved into Patch 5. * In Patch 5, one of the tests removed bundle-2 because it allows a later test for git fetch to demonstrate the interesting behavior where bundle-4 requires both bundle-2 and bundle-3. * In Patch 6, the fetch.bundleURI config is described differently, including dropping the defunct git fetch --bundle-uri reference and discussing that git clone --bundle-uri will set it automatically. * Patch 8 no longer refers to a config value starting with "remote:". It also expands a test that was previously not expanded in v1. * Patch 9 updates the documentation for fetch.bundleURI and fetch.bundleCreationToken to describe how the user should unset the latter if they edit the former. * Much of Patch 9's changes are due to context changes from the renames in Patch 5. However, it also adds the restriction that it will not attempt to download bundles unless their creationToken is strictly greater than the stored token. This ends up being critical to the failed download case, preventing an incremental fetch from downloading all bundles just because one bundle failed to download (and that case is tested in patch 10). * Patch 10 adds significant testing, including several tests of failed bundle downloads in various cases.
