That's a logical consequence and a natural endgame of this
pleasent-to-read series. THanks.
Unfortunately we are gaining more and more stuff in "struct commit"
with recent topics, and we may want to see if we can evict some of
them out to shrink it again.
Sigh.. ds/lazy-load-trees already enters 'next' so a fixup patch is
something like this.
Sorry I take this patch back. I didn't realize it was a rename and the
old field named 'tree' was already there (I vaguely recalled some
"tree" in this struct but didn't stop to think about it). Moving
graph_pos out is an option, but only 32-bit arch gains from it (64-bit
arch will have 4 bytes padding anyway) so probably not worth the
effort. "generation" field should probably be moved out though.
I'm happy to take a look at this patch and figure out the best way to
integrate it with the changes I've been doing.
I disagree with the removal of "generation". My intention is to make the
commit-graph feature a standard feature that most repos (of reasonable
size) want to have. In that case, 'graph_pos' and 'generation' will be
set during every parse and used by every commit walk. This is just my
gut reaction.
As I investigate these changes, I'll try to see what performance hit is
caused by converting the graph_pos and/or generation to commit slabs.
(Again, I'm assuming the slabs will make this slower. I may be wrong here.)
Thanks,
