Commits with no parents have - generation number 1; commits with parents have generation number - one more than the maximum generation number of its parents. We - reserve zero as special, and can be used to mark a generation - number invalid or as "not computed". - -- The root tree OID. - -- The commit date. - -- The parents of the commit, stored using positional references within - the graph file. - -These positional references are stored as unsigned 32-bit integers -corresponding to the array position within the list of commit OIDs. Due -to some special constants we use to track parents, we can store at most -(1 << 30) + (1 << 29) + (1 << 28) - 1 (around 1.8 billion) commits. - -== Commit graph files have the following format: - -In order to allow extensions that add extra data to the graph, we organize -the body into "chunks" and provide a binary lookup table at the beginning -of the body. The header includes certain values, such as number of chunks -and hash type. - -All 4-byte numbers are in network order. - -HEADER: - - 4-byte signature: - The signature is: {'C', 'G', 'P', 'H'} - - 1-byte version number: - Currently, the only valid version is 1. - - 1-byte Hash Version (1 = SHA-1) - We infer the hash length (H) from this value. - - 1-byte number (C) of "chunks" - - 1-byte number (B) of base commit-graphs - We infer the length (H*B) of the Base Graphs chunk - from this value. - -CHUNK LOOKUP: - - (C + 1) * 12 bytes listing the table of contents for the chunks: - First 4 bytes describe the chunk id. Value 0 is a terminating label. - Other 8 bytes provide the byte-offset in current file for chunk to - start. (Chunks are ordered contiguously in the file, so you can infer - the length using the next chunk position if necessary.) Each chunk - ID appears at most once. - - The remaining data in the body is described one chunk at a time, and - these chunks may be given in any order. Chunks are required unless - otherwise specified. - -CHUNK DATA: - - OID Fanout (ID: {'O', 'I', 'D', 'F'}) (256 * 4 bytes) - The ith entry, F[i], stores the number of OIDs with first - byte at most i. Thus F[255] stores the total - number of commits (N). - - OID Lookup (ID: {'O', 'I', 'D', 'L'}) (N * H bytes) - The OIDs for all commits in the graph, sorted in ascending order. - - Commit Data (ID: {'C', 'D', 'A', 'T' }) (N * (H + 16) bytes) - * The first H bytes are for the OID of the root tree. - * The next 8 bytes are for the positions of the first two parents - of the ith commit. Stores value 0x7000000 if no parent in that - position. If there are more than two parents, the second value - has its most-significant bit on and the other bits store an array - position into the Extra Edge List chunk. - * The next 8 bytes store the generation number of the commit and - the commit time in seconds since EPOCH. The generation number - uses the higher 30 bits of the first 4 bytes, while the commit - time uses the 32 bits of the second 4 bytes, along with the lowest - 2 bits of the lowest byte, storing the 33rd and 34th bit of the - commit time. - - Extra Edge List (ID: {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}) [Optional] - This list of 4-byte values store the second through nth parents for - all octopus merges. The second parent value in the commit data stores - an array position within this list along with the most-significant bit - on. Starting at that array position, iterate through this list of commit - positions for the parents until reaching a value with the most-significant - bit on. The other bits correspond to the position of the last parent. - - Base Graphs List (ID: {'B', 'A', 'S', 'E'}) [Optional] - This list of H-byte hashes describe a set of B commit-graph files that - form a commit-graph chain. The graph position for the ith commit in this - file's OID Lookup chunk is equal to i plus the number of commits in all - base graphs. If B is non-zero, this chunk must exist. - -TRAILER: - - H-byte HASH-checksum of all of the above. |
