Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 5/9] ref-filter: use generation number for --contains
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 23:02:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86r2ncgrcs.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180417170001.138464-6-dstolee@microsoft.com> (Derrick Stolee's message of "Tue, 17 Apr 2018 17:00:27 +0000")
Here I can offer only the cursory examination, as I don't know this area
of code in question.

A question: what is the performance after if the "commit-graph" feature
is disabled, or there is no commit-graph file? Is there performance
regression in this case, or is the difference negligible?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sidenote: when examining the code after the change, I have noticed that
the above part of commit header for the comtains_test() function is no
longer entirely correct, as the function only checks the candidate
commit, and in no place it access its parents.
But that is not your problem.

Looks good to me.
The only [minor] question may be whether to define separate type for
generation numbers, and whether to future proof the tests - though the
latter would be almost certainly overengineering, and the former
probablt too.

Sholdn't the above be made conditional on the ability to get generation
numbers from the commit-graph file (feature is turned on and file
exists)? Otherwise here after the change contains_tag_algo() now parses
each commit in 'want', which I think was not done previously.
With commit-graph file parsing is [probably] cheap. Without it, not
necessary.
But I might be worrying about nothing.

Other than the question about possible performace regression if
commit-graph data is not available, it looks good to me.

Simple change. It looks good to me.
