Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] midx.c: use `pack-objects --stdin-packs` when repacking
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:40:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4218d9e08aba629d8f64b5a999f60d12e5d8785b.1663706401.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1663706401.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

The `git multi-pack-index repack` command aggregates all objects in
certain packs contained in the MIDX, largely dictated by the value of
its `--batch-size` parameter.

To create the new pack, the MIDX machinery spawns a `pack-objects`
sub-process, which it feeds the object IDs in each of the pack(s) that
it wants to aggregate.

This implementation, which dates back to ce1e4a105b (midx: implement
midx_repack(), 2019-06-10), predates the `--stdin-packs` mode in
`pack-objects`. This mode (which was introduced a couple of years later
in 339bce27f4 (builtin/pack-objects.c: add '--stdin-packs' option,
2021-02-22)) allows `pack-objects` callers to specify the contents of
the output pack by indicating which packs to aggregate.

This patch replaces the pre-`--stdin-packs` invocation (where each
object is given to `pack-objects` one by one) with the more modern
`--stdin-packs` option.

This allows us to avoid some CPU cycles serializing and deserializing
every object ID in all of the packs we're aggregating. It also avoids us
having to send a potentially large amount of data down to
`pack-objects`.

But more importantly, it generates slightly higher quality (read: more
tightly compressed) packs, because of the reachability traversal that
`--stdin-packs` does after the fact in order to gather namehash values
which seed the delta selection process.

In practice, this seems to add a slight amount of overhead (on the order
of a few seconds for git.git broken up into ~100 packs), in exchange for
a modest reduction (on the order of ~3.5%) in the resulting pack size.
