Hi,
previous rounds (without api) are at $gmane/202752, $gmane/202923,
$gmane/203088 and $gmane/203517, the previous rounds with api were at
$gmane/229732, $gmane/230210 and $gmane/232488. Thanks to Duy for
reviewing the the last round and Junio, Ramsay and Eric for additional
comments.
Since the last round I've added a POC for partial writing, resulting
in the following performance improvements for update-index:

Given this, I don't think a complete change of the in-core format for
the cache-entries is necessary to take full advantage of the new index
file format. Instead some changes to the current in-core format would
work well with the new on-disk format.
The current in-memory format fits the internal needs of git fairly well,
so I don't think changing it to fit a better index file format would
make a lot of sense, given that we can take advantage of the new format
with the existing in-memory format.
This series doesn't use kb/fast-hashmap yet, but that should be fairly
simple to change if the series is deemed a good change. The
performance tests for update-index test require
tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup.
Other changes, made following the review comments are:
documentation: add documentation of the index-v5 file format
- Update documentation that directory flags are now 32-bits. That
makes aligned access simpler
- offset_to_offset is no longer included in the checksum for files.
It's unnecessary.
read-cache: read index-v5
- Add fix for reading with different level pathspecs given
- Use init_directory_entry to initialize all fields in a new
directory entry
- use memset to simplify the create_new_conflict function
- Add comments to explain -5 when reading directories and files
- Add comments for the more complex functions
- Add name flex_array to the end of ondisk_directory_entry for
simplified reading
- Add name flex_array to the end of ondisk_cache_entry for
simplified reading
- Move conflict reading functions to next patch
- mark functions as static when they are
read-cache: read resolve-undo data
- Add comments for the more complex function
- Read conflicts + resolve undo data as extension
read-cache: read cache-tree in index-v5
- Add comments for the more complex function
- Instead of sorting the directory entries, sort the cache-tree
directly. This also required changing the algorithms with which
the cache entries are extracted from the directory tree.
read-cache: write index-v5
- Free pointers allocated by super_directory
- Rewrite condition as suggested by Duy
- Don't check for CE_REMOVE'd entries in the writing code, they are
already checked in the compile_directory_data code
- Remove overly complicated directory size calculation since flags
are now 32-bits
read-cache: write resolve-undo data for index-v5
- Free pointers allocated by super_directory
- Write conflicts + resolve undo data as extension
introduce GIT_INDEX_VERSION environment variable
- Add documentation for GIT_INDEX_VERSION
test-lib: allow setting the index format version
Removed commits:
- read-cache: don't check uid, gid, ino
- read-cache: use fixed width integer types (independently in pu)
- read-cache: clear version in discard_index()
Typos fixed as suggested by Eric Sunshine
Thomas Gummerer (22):
read-cache: split index file version specific functionality
read-cache: move index v2 specific functions to their own file
read-cache: Re-read index if index file changed
add documentation for the index api
read-cache: add index reading api
make sure partially read index is not changed
grep.c: use index api
ls-files.c: use index api
documentation: add documentation of the index-v5 file format
read-cache: make in-memory format aware of stat_crc
read-cache: read index-v5
read-cache: read resolve-undo data
read-cache: read cache-tree in index-v5
read-cache: write index-v5
read-cache: write index-v5 cache-tree data
read-cache: write resolve-undo data for index-v5
update-index.c: rewrite index when index-version is given
introduce GIT_INDEX_VERSION environment variable
test-lib: allow setting the index format version
t1600: add index v5 specific tests
POC for partial writing
perf: add partial writing test
Thomas Rast (1):
p0003-index.sh: add perf test for the index formats
