The current implementation of git-last-modified(1) works by doing a
revision walk, and inspecting the diff at each level of that walk to
annotate entries remaining in the hashmap of paths. In other words, if
the diff at some level touches a path which has not yet been associated
with a commit, then that commit becomes associated with the path.
While a perfectly reasonable implementation, it can perform poorly in
either one of two scenarios:
1. There are many entries of interest, in which case there is simply
a lot of work to do.
2. Or, there are (even a few) entries which have not been updated in a
long time, and so we must walk through a lot of history in order to
find a commit that touches that path.
This patch rewrites the last-modified implementation that addresses the
second point. The idea behind the algorithm is to propagate a set of
'active' paths (a path is 'active' if it does not yet belong to a
commit) up to parents and do a truncated revision walk.
The walk is truncated because it does not produce a revision for every
change in the original pathspec, but rather only for active paths.
More specifically, consider a priority queue of commits sorted by
generation number. First, enqueue the set of boundary commits with all
paths in the original spec marked as interesting.
Then, while the queue is not empty, do the following:
1. Pop an element, say, 'c', off of the queue, making sure that 'c'
isn't reachable by anything in the '--not' set.
2. For each parent 'p' (with index 'parent_i') of 'c', do the
following:
a. Compute the diff between 'c' and 'p'.
b. Pass any active paths that are TREESAME from 'c' to 'p'.
c. If 'p' has any active paths, push it onto the queue.
3. Any path that remains active on 'c' is associated to that commit.
This ends up being equivalent to doing something like 'git log -1 --
$path' for each path simultaneously. But, it allows us to go much faster
than the original implementation by limiting the number of diffs we
compute, since we can avoid parts of history that would have been
considered by the revision walk in the original implementation, but are
known to be uninteresting to us because we have already marked all paths
in that area to be inactive.
To avoid computing many first-parent diffs, add another trick on top of
this and check if all paths active in 'c' are DEFINITELY NOT in c's
Bloom filter. Since the commit-graph only stores first-parent diffs in
the Bloom filters, we can only apply this trick to first-parent diffs.
Comparing the performance of this new algorithm shows about a 2.5x
improvement on git.git:
Benchmark 1: master no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 2.868 s ± 0.023 s [User: 2.811 s, System: 0.051 s]
Range (min … max): 2.847 s … 2.926 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: master with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 949.9 ms ± 15.2 ms [User: 907.6 ms, System: 39.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 933.3 ms … 971.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 3: HEAD no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 782.0 ms ± 6.3 ms [User: 740.7 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 776.4 ms … 798.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 4: HEAD with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 307.1 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 276.4 ms, System: 29.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 303.7 ms … 309.5 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD with bloom ran
2.55 ± 0.02 times faster than HEAD no bloom
3.09 ± 0.05 times faster than master with bloom
9.34 ± 0.09 times faster than master no bloom
In short, the existing implementation is comparably fast *with* Bloom
filters as the new implementation is *without* Bloom filters. So, most
repositories should get a dramatic speed-up by just deploying this (even
without computing Bloom filters), and all repositories should get faster
still when computing Bloom filters.
When comparing a more extreme example of
`git last-modified -- COPYING t`, the difference is even 5 times better:
Benchmark 1: master
Time (mean ± σ): 4.372 s ± 0.057 s [User: 4.286 s, System: 0.062 s]
Range (min … max): 4.308 s … 4.509 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 826.3 ms ± 22.3 ms [User: 784.1 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 810.6 ms … 881.2 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD ran
5.29 ± 0.16 times faster than master
As an added benefit, results are more consistent now. For example
implementation in 'master' gives:
$ git log --max-count=1 --format=%H -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de
$ git last-modified -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de pkt-line.h
$ git last-modified | grep pkt-line.h
5b49c1af03e600c286f63d9d9c9fb01403230b9f pkt-line.h
With the changes in this patch the results of git-last-modified(1)
always match those of `git log --max-count=1`.
One thing to note though, the results might be outputted in a different
order than before. This is not considerd to be an issue because nowhere
is documented the order is guaranteed.

Previous commits have marked a number of error or warning messages in
"builtin/fast-export.c" and "builtin/fast-import.c" for translation.
As "gpg-interface.c" code is used by the fast-export and fast-import
code, we should make sure that error or warning messages are also all
marked for translation in "gpg-interface.c".
To ensure that, let's mark for translation an error message in a
die() function.
With this, all the error and warning messages emitted by fast-export
and fast-import can be properly translated.

Some error or warning messages in "builtin/fast-import.c" are marked
for translation, but many are not.
To be more consistent and provide a better experience to people using a
translated version, let's mark all the remaining error or warning
messages for translation.
While at it, let's make the following small changes:
- replace "GIT" or "git" in a few error messages to just "Git",
- replace "Expected from command, got %s" to "expected 'from'
command, got '%s'", which makes it clearer that "from" is a command
and should not be translated,
- downcase error and warning messages that start with an uppercase,
- fix test cases in "t9300-fast-import.sh" that broke because an
error or warning message was downcased,
- split error and warning messages that are too long,
- adjust the indentation of some arguments of the error functions.

In "gpg-interface.c", the 'parse_ssh_output()' function takes a
'struct signature_check *sigc' argument and populates many members of
this 'sigc' using information parsed from 'sigc->output' which
contains the ouput of an `ssh-keygen -Y ...` command that was used to
verify an SSH signature.
When it populates 'sigc->fingerprint' though, it uses
`xstrdup(strstr(line, "key ") + 4)` while `strstr(line, "key ")` has
already been computed a few lines above and is already available in
the `key` variable.

The bug was introduced in 7673ecd2dc (t1016-compatObjectFormat: add
tests to verify the conversion between objects, 2023-10-01). But nobody
seems to have noticed, probably because CI did not run these tests until

Because gitignore patterns are passed to fnmatch, the handling of
backslashes is the same as it is there: it can be used to escape
metacharacters. We do reference fnmatch(3) for more details, but it may
be friendlier to point out this implication explicitly (especially for
people who want to know about backslash handling and search the
documentation for that word). There are also two cases that I've seen
some other backslash-escaping systems handle differently, so let's
describe those:
1. A backslash before any character treats that character literally,
even if it's not otherwise a meta-character. As opposed to
including the backslash itself (like "foo\bar" in shell expands to
"foo\bar") or forbidding it ("foo\zar" is required to produce a
diagnostic in C).
2. A backslash at the end of the string is an invalid pattern (and not
a literal backslash).
This second one in particular was a point of confusion between our
implementation and the one in JGit. Our wildmatch behavior matches what
POSIX specifies for fnmatch, so the code and documentation are in line.
But let's add a test to cover this case. Note that the behavior here
differs between wildmatch itself (which is what gitignore will use) and
pathspec matching (which will only turn to wildmatch if a literal match
fails). So we match "foo\" to "foo\" in pathspecs, but not via
gitignore.

The strategy in t1016-compatObjectFormat is to build two trees with
identical commits, one tree encoded in sha1 the other tree encoded
in sha256 and to use the compatibility code to test and see if
the two trees are identical.
GPG signatures include the current time as part of the signature.
To make gpg deterministic I forced the use of gpg --faked-system-time.
Unfortunately I did not look closely enough.
By default gpg still allows time to move forward with --faked-system-time.
So in those rare instances when the system is heavily loaded and gpg runs
slower than other times, signatures over the exact same data differ
due to timestamps with a minuscule difference.
Reading through the gpg documentation with a close eye, time can be
frozen by including an exclamation point at the end of the argument to
--faked-system-time.
Add the exclamation point so gpg really runs with a fixed notion of time,
resulting in the exact same data having identical gpg signatures.
That is enough that I can run "t1016-compatObjectFormat.sh --stress"
and I don't see any failures.
It is possible a future change to gpg will make replay protection more
robust and not provide a way to allow two separate runs of gpg to
produce exactly the same signature for exactly the same data. If that
happens a deeper comparison of the two repositories will need to be
performed. A comparison that simply verifies the signatures and
compares the data for equality. For now that is a lot of work
for no gain so I am just documenting the possibility.

The placeholder markup is underscore (_), not backtick (`) as well.
The inline-verbatim markup (backticks) handle interior formatting. This
means in this case that it applies HTML `<code>` to the underscores and
`<em>` to the placeholder.
That is the effect, anyway; we can see from the rest of 042d6f34 (doc:

When a supposedly no-op "git repack" runs across a second boundary,
because the command always touches the MIDX file and updates its
timestamp, "ls -l $GIT_DIR/objects/pack/" before and after the
operation can change, which causes such a test to fail. Only
compare the *.pack files in the directory before and after the
operation to work around this flakyness.
Arguably, git-repack(1) should learn to not rewrite the MIDX in case
we know it is already up-to-date. But this is not a new problem
introduced via the new geometric maintenance task, so for now it
should be good enough to paper over the issue.
