Prepare to write pseudo-merge bitmaps by annotating individual bitmapped
commits (which are represented by the `bitmapped_commit` structure) with
an extra bit indicating whether or not they are a pseudo-merge.
In subsequent commits, pseudo-merge bitmaps will be generated by
allocating a fake commit node with parents covering the full set of
commits represented by the pseudo-merge bitmap. These commits will be
added to the set of "selected" commits as usual, but will be written
specially instead of being included with the rest of the selected
commits.
Mechanically speaking, there are two parts of this change:
- The bitmapped_commit struct gets a new bit indicating whether it is
a pseudo-merge, or an ordinary commit selected for bitmaps.
- A handful of changes to only write out the non-pseudo-merge commits
when enumerating through the selected array (see the new
`bitmap_writer_selected_nr()` function). Pseudo-merge commits appear
after all non-pseudo-merge commits, so it is safe to enumerate
through the selected array like so:
for (i = 0; i < bitmap_writer_selected_nr(); i++)
if (writer.selected[i].pseudo_merge)
BUG("unexpected pseudo-merge");
without encountering the BUG().

The pack-bitmap-writer machinery uses a oidmap (backed by khash.h) to
map from commits selected for bitmaps (by OID) to a bitmapped_commit
structure (containing the bitmap itself, among other things like its XOR
offset, etc.)
This map was initialized at the end of `bitmap_writer_build()`. New
entries are added in `pack-bitmap-write.c::store_selected()`, which is
called by the bitmap_builder machinery (which is responsible for
traversing history and generating the actual bitmaps).
Reorganize when this field is initialized and when entries are added to
it so that we can quickly determine whether a commit is a candidate for
pseudo-merge selection, or not (since it was already selected to receive
a bitmap, and thus storing it in a pseudo-merge would be redundant).
The changes are as follows:
- Introduce a new `bitmap_writer_init()` function which initializes
the `writer.bitmaps` field (instead of waiting until the end of
`bitmap_writer_build()`).
- Add map entries in `push_bitmapped_commit()` (which is called via
`bitmap_writer_select_commits()`) with OID keys and NULL values to
track whether or not we *expect* to write a bitmap for some given
commit.
- Validate that a NULL entry is found matching the given key when we
store a selected bitmap.

Prepare to free() memory associated with bitmapped_commit structs by
zero'ing the 'write_as' field.
In ideal cases, it is fine to do something like:
for (i = 0; i < writer->selected_nr; i++) {
struct bitmapped_commit *bc = &writer->selected[i];
if (bc->write_as != bc->bitmap)
ewah_free(bc->write_as);
ewah_free(bc->bitmap);
}
but if not all of the 'write_as' fields were populated (e.g., because
the packing_data given does not form a reachability closure), then we
may attempt to free uninitialized memory.
Guard against this by preemptively zero'ing this field just in case.

The `max_bitmaps` parameter in `bitmap_writer_select_commits()` was
introduced back in 7cc8f97108 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing,
2013-12-21), making it original to the bitmap implementation in Git
itself.
When that patch was merged via 0f9e62e084 (Merge branch
'jk/pack-bitmap', 2014-02-27), its sole caller in builtin/pack-objects.c
passed a value of "-1" for `max_bitmaps`, indicating no limit.
Since then, the only other caller (in midx.c, added via c528e17966
(pack-bitmap: write multi-pack bitmaps, 2021-08-31)) also uses a value
of "-1" for `max_bitmaps`.
Since no callers have needed a finite limit for the `max_bitmaps`
parameter in the nearly decade that has passed since 0f9e62e084, let's
remove the parameter and any dead pieces of code connected to it.

The pack-bitmap machinery uses a structure called 'bitmap_writer' to
collect the data necessary to write out .bitmap files. Since its
introduction in 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing,
2013-12-21), there has been a single static bitmap_writer structure,
which is responsible for all bitmap writing-related operations.
In practice, this is OK, since we are only ever writing a single .bitmap
file in a single process (e.g., `git multi-pack-index write --bitmap`,
`git pack-objects --write-bitmap-index`, `git repack -b`, etc.).
However, having a single static variable makes issues like data
ownership unclear, when to free variables, what has/hasn't been
initialized unclear.
Refactor this code to be written in terms of a given bitmap_writer
structure instead of relying on a static global.
Note that this exposes the structure definition of the bitmap_writer at
the pack-bitmap.h level. We could work around this by, e.g., forcing
callers to declare their writers as:
struct bitmap_writer *writer;
bitmap_writer_init(&bitmap_writer);
and then declaring `bitmap_writer_init()` as taking in a double-pointer
like so:
void bitmap_writer_init(struct bitmap_writer **writer);
which would avoid us having to expose the definition of the structure
itself. This patch takes a different approach, since future patches
(like for the ongoing pseudo-merge bitmaps work) will want to modify the
innards of this structure (in the previous example, via pseudo-merge.c).

In 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21), the
bitmapped_commit struct was introduced, including the 'commit_pos'
field, which has been unused ever since its introduction more than a
decade ago.
Instead, we have used the nearby `commit_positions` array leaving the
bitmapped_commit struct with an unused 4-byte field.
We could drop the `commit_pos` field as unused, and continue to store
the values in the auxiliary array. But we could also drop the array and
store the data for each bitmapped_commit struct inside of the structure
itself, which is what this patch does.
In any spot that we previously read `commit_positions[i]`, we can now
instead read `writer.selected[i].commit_pos`. There are a few spots that
need changing as a result:
- write_selected_commits_v1() is a simple transformation, since we're
just reading the field. As a result, the function no longer needs an
explicit argument to pass the commit_positions array.
- write_lookup_table() also no longer needs the explicit
commit_positions array passed in as an argument. But it still needs
to sort an array of indices into the writer.selected array to read
them in commit_pos order, so table_cmp() is adjusted accordingly.
- bitmap_writer_finish() no longer needs to allocate, populate, and
free the commit_positions table. Instead, we can just write the data
directly into each struct bitmapped_commit.

The `bb_commit` commit slab is used by the pack-bitmap-write machinery
to track various pieces of bookkeeping used to generate reachability
bitmaps.
Even though we clear the slab when freeing the bitmap_builder struct
(with `bitmap_builder_clear()`), there are still pointers which point to
locations in memory that have not yet been freed, resulting in a leak.
Plug the leak by introducing a suitable `free_fn` for the `struct
bb_commit` type, and make sure it is called on each member of the slab
via the `deep_clear_bb_data()` function.
Note that it is possible for both of the arguments to `bitmap_free()` to
be NULL, but `bitmap_free()` is a noop for NULL arguments, so it is OK
to pass them unconditionally.

`git repack` is about to learn a new `--filter=<filter-spec>` option and
we will want to check that this option is incompatible with
`--write-bitmap-index`.
Unfortunately it appears that a test like:
test_expect_success '--filter fails with --write-bitmap-index' '
test_must_fail \
env GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX_WRITE_BITMAP=0 \
git -C bare.git repack -a -d --write-bitmap-index --filter=blob:none
'
sometimes fail because when rebuilding bitmaps, it appears that we are
reusing existing bitmap information. So instead of detecting that some
objects are missing and erroring out as it should, the
`git repack --write-bitmap-index --filter=...` command succeeds.
Let's fix that by making sure we rebuild bitmaps using new bitmaps
instead of existing ones.

Likewise, when we added write_lookup_table() in 93eb41e240

Teach Git to write bitmap lookup table extension. The table contains
the list of `N` <commit_pos, offset, xor_row>` triplets. These
triplets are sorted according to their commit pos (ascending order).
The meaning of each data in the i'th triplet is given below:
- commit_pos stores commit position (in the pack-index or midx).
It is a 4 byte network byte order unsigned integer.
- offset is the position (in the bitmap file) from which that
commit's bitmap can be read.
- xor_row is the position of the triplet in the lookup table
whose bitmap is used to compress this bitmap, or `0xffffffff`
if no such bitmap exists.

OK because this `search commit position of a given commit` algorithm
is needed only once here. But in later changes of the `lookup table

This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.
If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.
This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.
Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

When writing a new bitmap, the bitmap writer code attempts to read the
existing bitmap (if one is present). This is done in order to quickly
permute the bits of any bitmaps for commits which appear in the existing
bitmap, and were also selected for the new bitmap.
But since this code was added in 341fa34887 (pack-bitmap-write: use
existing bitmaps, 2020-12-08), the resources associated with opening an
existing bitmap were never released.
It's fine to ignore this, but it's bad hygiene. It will also cause a
problem for the multi-pack-index builtin, which will be responsible not
only for writing bitmaps, but also for expiring any old multi-pack
bitmaps.
If an existing bitmap was reused here, it will also be expired. That
will cause a problem on platforms which require file resources to be
closed before unlinking them, like Windows. Avoid this by ensuring we
close reused bitmaps with free_bitmap_index() before removing them.

The set of objects covered by a bitmap must be closed under
reachability, since it must be the case that there is a valid bit
position assigned for every possible reachable object (otherwise the
bitmaps would be incomplete).
Pack bitmaps are never written from 'git repack' unless repacking
all-into-one, and so we never write non-closed bitmaps (except in the
case of partial clones where we aren't guaranteed to have all objects).
But multi-pack bitmaps change this, since it isn't known whether the
set of objects in the MIDX is closed under reachability until walking
them. Plumb through a bit that is set when a reachable object isn't
found.
As soon as a reachable object isn't found in the set of objects to
include in the bitmap, bitmap_writer_build() knows that the set is not
closed, and so it now fails gracefully.
A test is added in t0410 to trigger a bitmap write without full
reachability closure by removing local copies of some reachable objects
from a promisor remote.

When we are looking up an oid in an array, we obviously don't need to
write to the array. Let's mark it as const in the function interfaces,
as well as in the local variables we use to derference the void pointer
(note a few cases use pointers-to-pointers, so we mark everything
const).

All of our callers are actually looking up an object_id, not a bare
hash. Likewise, the arrays they are looking in are actual arrays of
object_id (not just raw bytes of hashes, as we might find in a pack
.idx; those are handled by bsearch_hash()).
Using an object_id gives us more type safety, and makes the callers
slightly shorter. It also gets rid of the word "sha1" from several
access functions, though we could obviously also rename those with
s/sha1/hash/.

If the old bitmap file contains a bitmap for a given commit, then that
commit does not need help from intermediate commits in its history to
compute its final bitmap. Eject that commit from the walk and insert it
into a separate list of reusable commits that are eventually stored in
the list of commits for computing bitmaps.
This helps the repeat bitmap computation task, even if the selected
commits shift drastically. This helps when a previously-bitmapped commit
exists in the first-parent history of a newly-selected commit. Since we
stop the walk at these commits and we use a first-parent walk, it is
harder to walk "around" these bitmapped commits. It's not impossible,
but we can greatly reduce the computation time for many selected
commits.

The previous commits improved the bitmap computation process for very
long, linear histories with many refs by removing quadratic growth in
how many objects were walked. The strategy of computing "intermediate
commits" using bitmasks for which refs can reach those commits
partitioned the poset of reachable objects so each part could be walked
exactly once. This was effective for linear histories.
However, there was a (significant) drawback: wide histories with many
refs had an explosion of memory costs to compute the commit bitmasks
during the exploration that discovers these intermediate commits. Since
these wide histories are unlikely to repeat walking objects, the benefit
of walking objects multiple times was not expensive before. But now, the
commit walk *before computing bitmaps* is incredibly expensive.
In an effort to discover a happy medium, this change reduces the walk
for intermediate commits to only the first-parent history. This focuses
the walk on how the histories converge, which still has significant
reduction in repeat object walks. It is still possible to create
quadratic behavior in this version, but it is probably less likely in
realistic data shapes.
Here is some data taken on a fresh clone of the kernel:

When constructing new bitmaps, we perform a commit and tree walk in
fill_bitmap_commit() and fill_bitmap_tree(). This walk would benefit
from using existing bitmaps when available. We must track the existing
bitmaps and translate them into the new object order, but this is
generally faster than parsing trees.
In fill_bitmap_commit(), we must reorder thing somewhat. The priority
queue walks commits from newest-to-oldest, which means we correctly stop
walking when reaching a commit with a bitmap. However, if we walk trees
interleaved with the commits, then we might be parsing trees that are
actually part of a re-used bitmap. To avoid over-walking trees, add them
to a LIFO queue and walk them after exploring commits completely.
On git.git, this reduces a second immediate bitmap computation from 2.0s
to 1.0s. On linux.git, we go from 32s to 22s. On chromium's fork
network, we go from 227s to 198s.

The on-disk bitmap format has a flag to mark a bitmap to be "reused".
This is a rather curious feature, and works like this:
- a run of pack-objects would decide to mark the last 80% of the
bitmaps it generates with the reuse flag
- the next time we generate bitmaps, we'd see those reuse flags from
the last run, and mark those commits as special:
- we'd be more likely to select those commits to get bitmaps in
the new output
- when generating the bitmap for a selected commit, we'd reuse the
old bitmap as-is (rearranging the bits to match the new pack, of
course)
However, neither of these behaviors particularly makes sense.
Just because a commit happened to be bitmapped last time does not make
it a good candidate for having a bitmap this time. In particular, we may
choose bitmaps based on how recent they are in history, or whether a ref
tip points to them, and those things will change. We're better off
re-considering fresh which commits are good candidates.
Reusing the existing bitmap _is_ a reasonable thing to do to save
computation. But only reusing exact bitmaps is a weak form of this. If
we have an old bitmap for A and now want a new bitmap for its child, we
should be able to compute that only by looking at trees and that are new
to the child. But this code would consider only exact reuse (which is
perhaps why it was eager to select those commits in the first place).
Furthermore, the recent switch to the reverse-edge algorithm for
generating bitmaps dropped this optimization entirely (and yet still
performs better).
So let's do a few cleanups:
- drop the whole "reusing bitmaps" phase of generating bitmaps. It's
not helping anything, and is mostly unused code (or worse, code that
is using CPU but not doing anything useful)
- drop the use of the on-disk reuse flag to select commits to bitmap
- stop setting the on-disk reuse flag in bitmaps we generate (since
nothing respects it anymore)
We will keep a few innards of the reuse code, which will help us
implement a more capable version of the "reuse" optimization:
- simplify rebuild_existing_bitmaps() into a function that only builds
the mapping of bits between the old and new orders, but doesn't
actually convert any bitmaps
- make rebuild_bitmap() public; we'll call it lazily to convert bitmaps
as we traverse (using the mapping created above)

The bitmap_writer_build() method calls bitmap_builder_init() to
construct a list of commits reachable from the selected commits along
with a "reverse graph". This reverse graph has edges pointing from a
commit to other commits that can reach that commit. After computing a
reachability bitmap for a commit, the values in that bitmap are then
copied to the reachability bitmaps across the edges in the reverse
graph.
We can now relax the role of the reverse graph to greatly reduce the
number of intermediate reachability bitmaps we compute during this
reverse walk. The end result is that we walk objects the same number of
times as before when constructing the reachability bitmaps, but we also
spend much less time copying bits between bitmaps and have much lower
memory pressure in the process.
The core idea is to select a set of "important" commits based on
interactions among the sets of commits reachable from each selected commit.
The first technical concept is to create a new 'commit_mask' member in the
bb_commit struct. Note that the selected commits are provided in an
ordered array. The first thing to do is to mark the ith bit in the
commit_mask for the ith selected commit. As we walk the commit-graph, we
copy the bits in a commit's commit_mask to its parents. At the end of
the walk, the ith bit in the commit_mask for a commit C stores a boolean
representing "The ith selected commit can reach C."
As we walk, we will discover non-selected commits that are important. We
will get into this later, but those important commits must also receive
bit positions, growing the width of the bitmasks as we walk. At the true
end of the walk, the ith bit means "the ith _important_ commit can reach
C."
MAXIMAL COMMITS
---------------
We use a new 'maximal' bit in the bb_commit struct to represent whether
a commit is important or not. The term "maximal" comes from the
partially-ordered set of commits in the commit-graph where C >= P if P
is a parent of C, and then extending the relationship transitively.
Instead of taking the maximal commits across the entire commit-graph, we
instead focus on selecting each commit that is maximal among commits
with the same bits on in their commit_mask. This definition is
important, so let's consider an example.
Suppose we have three selected commits A, B, and C. These are assigned
bitmasks 100, 010, and 001 to start. Each of these can be marked as
maximal immediately because they each will be the uniquely maximal
commit that contains their own bit. Keep in mind that that these commits
may have different bitmasks after the walk; for example, if B can reach
C but A cannot, then the final bitmask for C is 011. Even in these
cases, C would still be a maximal commit among all commits with the
third bit on in their masks.
Now define sets X, Y, and Z to be the sets of commits reachable from A,
B, and C, respectively. The intersections of these sets correspond to
different bitmasks:
* 100: X - (Y union Z)
* 010: Y - (X union Z)
* 001: Z - (X union Y)
* 110: (X intersect Y) - Z
* 101: (X intersect Z) - Y
* 011: (Y intersect Z) - X
* 111: X intersect Y intersect Z
This can be visualized with the following Hasse diagram:
100 010 001
| \ / \ / |
| \/ \/ |
| /\ /\ |
| / \ / \ |
110 101 011
\___ | ___/
\ | /
111
Some of these bitmasks may not be represented, depending on the topology
of the commit-graph. In fact, we are counting on it, since the number of
possible bitmasks is exponential in the number of selected commits, but
is also limited by the total number of commits. In practice, very few
bitmasks are possible because most commits converge on a common "trunk"
in the commit history.
With this three-bit example, we wish to find commits that are maximal
for each bitmask. How can we identify this as we are walking?
As we walk, we visit a commit C. Since we are walking the commits in
topo-order, we know that C is visited after all of its children are
visited. Thus, when we get C from the revision walk we inspect the
'maximal' property of its bb_data and use that to determine if C is truly
important. Its commit_mask is also nearly final. If C is not one of the
originally-selected commits, then assign a bit position to C (by
incrementing num_maximal) and set that bit on in commit_mask. See
"MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS" below for more detail on this.
Now that the commit C is known to be maximal or not, consider each
parent P of C. Compute two new values:
* c_not_p : true if and only if the commit_mask for C contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
* p_not_c : true if and only if the commit_mask for P contains a bit
that is not contained in the commit_mask for P.
If c_not_p is false, then P already has all of the bits that C would
provide to its commit_mask. In this case, move on to other parents as C
has nothing to contribute to P's state that was not already provided by
other children of P.
We continue with the case that c_not_p is true. This means there are
bits in C's commit_mask to copy to P's commit_mask, so use bitmap_or()
to add those bits.
If p_not_c is also true, then set the maximal bit for P to one. This means
that if no other commit has P as a parent, then P is definitely maximal.
This is because no child had the same bitmask. It is important to think
about the maximal bit for P at this point as a temporary state: "P is
maximal based on current information."
In contrast, if p_not_c is false, then set the maximal bit for P to
zero. Further, clear all reverse_edges for P since any edges that were
previously assigned to P are no longer important. P will gain all
reverse edges based on C.
The final thing we need to do is to update the reverse edges for P.
These reverse edges respresent "which closest maximal commits
contributed bits to my commit_mask?" Since C contributed bits to P's
commit_mask in this case, C must add to the reverse edges of P.
If C is maximal, then C is a 'closest' maximal commit that contributed
bits to P. Add C to P's reverse_edges list.
Otherwise, C has a list of maximal commits that contributed bits to its
bitmask (and this list is exactly one element). Add all of these items
to P's reverse_edges list. Be careful to ignore duplicates here.
After inspecting all parents P for a commit C, we can clear the
commit_mask for C. This reduces the memory load to be limited to the
"width" of the commit graph.
Consider our ABC/XYZ example from earlier and let's inspect the state of
the commits for an interesting bitmask, say 011. Suppose that D is the
only maximal commit with this bitmask (in the first three bits). All
other commits with bitmask 011 have D as the only entry in their
reverse_edges list. D's reverse_edges list contains B and C.
COMPUTING REACHABILITY BITMAPS
------------------------------
Now that we have our definition, let's zoom out and consider what
happens with our new reverse graph when computing reachability bitmaps.
We walk the reverse graph in reverse-topo-order, so we visit commits
with largest commit_masks first. After we compute the reachability
bitmap for a commit C, we push the bits in that bitmap to each commit D
in the reverse edge list for C. Then, when we finally visit D we already
have the bits for everything reachable from maximal commits that D can
reach and we only need to walk the objects in the set-difference.
In our ABC/XYZ example, when we finally walk for the commit A we only
need to walk commits with bitmask equal to A's bitmask. If that bitmask
is 100, then we are only walking commits in X - (Y union Z) because the
bitmap already contains the bits for objects reachable from (X intersect
Y) union (X intersect Z) (i.e. the bits from the reachability bitmaps
for the maximal commits with bitmasks 110 and 101).
The behavior is intended to walk each commit (and the trees that commit
introduces) at most once while allocating and copying fewer reachability
bitmaps. There is one caveat: what happens when there are multiple
maximal commits with the same bitmask, with respect to the initial set
of selected commits?
MULTIPLE MAXIMAL COMMITS
------------------------
Earlier, we mentioned that when we discover a new maximal commit, we
assign a new bit position to that commit and set that bit position to
one for that commit. This is absolutely important for interesting
commit-graphs such as git/git and torvalds/linux. The reason is due to
the existence of "butterflies" in the commit-graph partial order.
Here is an example of four commits forming a butterfly:
I J
|\ /|
| \/ |
| /\ |
|/ \|
M N
\ /
|/
Q
Here, I and J both have parents M and N. In general, these do not need
to be exact parent relationships, but reachability relationships. The
most important part is that M and N cannot reach each other, so they are
independent in the partial order. If I had commit_mask 10 and J had
commit_mask 01, then M and N would both be assigned commit_mask 11 and
be maximal commits with the bitmask 11. Then, what happens when M and N
can both reach a commit Q? If Q is also assigned the bitmask 11, then it
is not maximal but is reachable from both M and N.
While this is not necessarily a deal-breaker for our abstract definition
of finding maximal commits according to a given bitmask, we have a few
issues that can come up in our larger picture of constructing
reachability bitmaps.
In particular, if we do not also consider Q to be a "maximal" commit,
then we will walk commits reachable from Q twice: once when computing
the reachability bitmap for M and another time when computing the
reachability bitmap for N. This becomes much worse if the topology
continues this pattern with multiple butterflies.
The solution has already been mentioned: each of M and N are assigned
their own bits to the bitmask and hence they become uniquely maximal for
their bitmasks. Finally, Q also becomes maximal and thus we do not need
to walk its commits multiple times. The final bitmasks for these commits
are as follows:
I:10 J:01
|\ /|
| \ _____/ |
| /\____ |
|/ \ |
M:111 N:1101
\ /
Q:1111
Further, Q's reverse edge list is { M, N }, while M and N both have
reverse edge list { I, J }.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS
------------------------
Now that we've spent a LOT of time on the theory of this algorithm,
let's show that this is actually worth all that effort.
To test the performance, use GIT_TRACE2_PERF=1 when running
'git repack -abd' in a repository with no existing reachability bitmaps.
This avoids any issues with keeping existing bitmaps to skew the
numbers.
Inspect the "building_bitmaps_total" region in the trace2 output to
focus on the portion of work that is affected by this change. Here are
the performance comparisons for a few repositories. The timings are for
the following versions of Git: "multi" is the timing from before any
reverse graph is constructed, where we might perform multiple
traversals. "reverse" is for the previous change where the reverse graph
has every reachable commit. Finally "maximal" is the version introduced
here where the reverse graph only contains the maximal commits.
Repository: git/git
multi: 2.628 sec
reverse: 2.344 sec
maximal: 2.047 sec
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 64.7 sec
reverse: 205.3 sec
maximal: 44.7 sec
So in all cases we've not only recovered any time lost to switching to
the reverse-edge algorithm, but we come out ahead of "multi" in all
cases. Likewise, peak heap has gone back to something reasonable:
Repository: torvalds/linux
multi: 2.087 GB
reverse: 3.141 GB
maximal: 2.288 GB
While I do not have access to full fork networks on GitHub, Peff has run
this algorithm on the chromium/chromium fork network and reported a
change from 3 hours to ~233 seconds. That network is particularly
beneficial for this approach because it has a long, linear history along
with many tags. The "multi" approach was obviously quadratic and the new
approach is linear.

The bitmap_builder_init() method walks the reachable commits in
topological order and constructs a "reverse graph" along the way. At the
moment, this reverse graph contains an edge from commit A to commit B if
and only if A is a parent of B. Thus, the name "children" is appropriate
for for this reverse graph.
In the next change, we will repurpose the reverse graph to not be
directly-adjacent commits in the commit-graph, but instead a more
abstract relationship. The previous changes have already incorporated
the necessary updates to fill_bitmap_commit() that allow these edges to
not be immediate children.
