[PATCH v4 02/10] commit: add generation number to struct commmit

From
Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>
Date
Apr 25, 2018, 14:37 UTC
Message-ID
<20180425143735.240183-3-dstolee@microsoft.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180425143735.240183-1-dstolee@microsoft.com>
The generation number of a commit is defined recursively as follows:
* If a commit A has no parents, then the generation number of A is one.
* If a commit A has parents, then the generation number of A is one
  more than the maximum generation number among the parents of A.

Add a uint32_t generation field to struct commit so we can pass this information to revision walks. We use three special values to signal the generation number is invalid:

GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY 0xFFFFFFFF GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX 0x3FFFFFFF GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO 0

The first (_INFINITY) means the generation number has not been loaded or computed. The second (_MAX) means the generation number is too large to store in the commit-graph file. The third (_ZERO) means the generation number was loaded from a commit graph file that was written by a version of git that did not support generation numbers.
