When traversing commits, a pathspec item can be used to limit the
traversal to commits that modify the specified paths. And the
commit-graph includes a Bloom filter to exclude commits that definitely
did not modify a given pathspec item. During commit traversal, the
Bloom filter can significantly improve performance. However, it is
disabled if the specified pathspec item contains wildcard characters
or magic signatures.
For performance reason, enable Bloom filter even if a pathspec item
contains wildcard characters by filtering only the non-wildcard part of
the pathspec item.
The function of pathspec magic signature is generally to narrow down
the path specified by the pathspecs. So, enable Bloom filter when
the magic signature is "top", "glob", "attr", "--depth" or "literal".
"exclude" is used to select paths other than the specified path, rather
than serving as a filtering function, so it cannot be used together with
the Bloom filter. Since Bloom filter is not case insensitive even in
case insensitive system (e.g. MacOS), it cannot be used together with
"icase" magic.
With this optimization, we get some improvements for pathspecs with
wildcards or magic signatures. First, in the Git repository we see these
modest results:
git log -100 -- "t/*"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 20.4 ms ± 0.6 ms
Range (min … max): 19.3 ms … 24.4 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 23.4 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 22.5 ms … 24.7 ms
git log -100 -- ":(top)t"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 16.2 ms ± 0.4 ms
Range (min … max): 15.3 ms … 17.2 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 18.6 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 17.6 ms … 20.4 ms
But in a larger repo, such as the LLVM project repo below, we get even
better results:
git log -100 -- "libc/*"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 16.0 ms ± 0.6 ms
Range (min … max): 14.7 ms … 17.8 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 26.7 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 25.4 ms … 27.8 ms
git log -100 -- ":(top)libc"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 15.6 ms ± 0.6 ms
Range (min … max): 14.4 ms … 17.7 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 19.6 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 18.6 ms … 20.6 ms
