Got it. Hashing like that would definitely mitigate the "wrong file"

You need to write() and then fsync()/close() to be guaranteed that the
data was written to the file.

As an aside I see that the current commit-graph uses CSUM_FSYNC (but
without CSUM_CLOSE, probably doesn't matter), I thought it
didn't. Maybe we should remove that unless core.fsyncObjectFiles=true
(or have another "looser" fsync config).

So writing is cheap, but it's asking the OS to sync to disk that
generally hurts. As noted in the discussions when core.fsyncObjectFiles
was introduced some FSs are really stupid about it, so it's better to
avoid these caveats if you can.

As noted in the fsync(2) manpage on Linux (ditto POSIX) an fsync to a
*file* doesn't guarantee that the directory entry is updated. So we'd
also need to opendir() the containing directory and fsync that FD as we
juggle these renames/replaces.

But stepping away from strict POSIX for a second, many users of git use
the object store over something like NFS. It's very handy to be able to
mount such a volume with e.g. lookupcache=positive
(https://linux.die.net/man/5/nfs).

I.e. if you request a commit-graph-<HASH> you don't need a round-trip to
the server to server to see if it's still there.

So it's not that we can't do it, but rather that there's some usage
patterns that are much friendlier to performance & caching than
others. Just throwing things at the FS and having it flush stuff in its
own time is ideal, and e.g. commercial FS appliances have a lot of
performance knobs you can use if you have access patterns like what we
have in objects/pack/.

I.e. "any file here you can cache forever, they never change (they
disappear, but no hurry!), but new ones might show up".

That sort of thing becomes more true with other dumber FS-alike things,
e.g. if we go for some "grab a graph from the server" implementation
such a thing is way simpler as a list of hashes that can be cached
forever (http proxies et al) than N files sensitive to their update
sequence.

Indeed. As noted in the thread about the v1->v2 format if we just append
new chunks we have leeway like that, i.e. it's completely OK if we
choose to from the POV of old clients write no data to them so they're
not helped by the optimization, that's a more graceful way than them
dying on a format change.

And yes, we could stick the proposed commit-graphs/info "index" in a
chunk there. I've got a preference for a \n-delimited list similar to
objects/info/packs, but that's mostly for aesthetic reasons.

Yeah I don't think it makes sense, but maybe I misread the

If we make the file management dumb enough it shouldn't matter, we'd
always have a lock for updating the "meta" file, but if we didn't we'd
just have some harmless duplicate work.

I think a lock in "gc" is enough, it's our default, so it should be
sensible. People doing custom GC generally do/want their own management
of that, no need for us to hold their hand beyond the point where
e.g. concurrent "pack-refs" might corrupt refs if the ref update itself
isn't locked.

I think just no commit-graph at all is fine. If it lazily took you N
hours from reading the "commit-graphs/info" to getting around to looking
at now-disappeared files it sucks to be you.

Indeed. I just thought about e.g. a [branch|tag] --contains for the
current repo, but for things like "how ahead of gitster/pu is my GFW
topic?" one graph for the network is needed.

If we can help it it would be useful to not unduly box the user in and
offer them flexibility to choose. I.e. some (e.g. my staging server
use-case) might want base+local repo and never need 2x local repos
v.s. each other, whereas github/gitlab might need one giant graph etc.

I think a sane default would be to just unlink() the old ones as soon as
we're done writing the new ones & writing the commit-graphs/info file
saying "here's your current ones".

I.e. as noted in what I said about fsync above it's not that we need to
keep the old ones around, but avoiding the tight dance with N & N+1
updates, and being friendlier to stuff like lookupcache=positive.

Users with more advanced use-cases (e.g. cross-repo graphs) could then
always increase such an expiry.

How's the Windows support for symlinks? We don't symlink anything in
.git/objects/ ourselves now (but see[1]).

On *nix just manually symlinking it works fine (you need to go out of
your way not to support it, which we didn't).

So something like this would be desirable:

    $ tree -a .git/objects/info/
    .git/objects/info/
    ├── commit-graph -> commit-graphs/commit-graph-2492e0ef38643d4cb6369f76443e6a814d616258
    ├── commit-graphs
    │   ├── commit-graph-2492e0ef38643d4cb6369f76443e6a814d616258
    │   ├── commit-graph-988881adc9fc3655077dc2d4d757d480b5ea0e11
    │   └── info
    └── packs
    $ cat .git/objects/info/commit-graphs/info
    2492e0ef38643d4cb6369f76443e6a814d616258
    988881adc9fc3655077dc2d4d757d480b5ea0e11

I.e. create new ones as needed, and when done say what sequence they
should be read in in the "info" file, and symlink "commit-graph" to
whatever the latest "base" is as a courtesy to old clients (or not, or
eventually don't bother).
