Greetings,
This patch series extends the recently introduced "structure" subcommand for git-repo(1) to collect object size information. More specifically, it shows total inflated and disk sizes of objects by object type. The aim to provide additional insight that may be useful to users regarding the structure of a repository.
In addition to this change, this series also updates the table output format to downscale larger output values along with the appropriate unit prefix. This is done to make table output more human friendly. The keyvalue and nul output formats are left the same since they are intended more for machine parsing.
Changes in V5: - Small updates to some comments and log messages to improve correctness. - Adjusted spacing in builtin/repo.c:count_objects().
Changes in V4: - Unmark "byte" string in "t/helper/test-simple-ipc.c" for translation to avoid conflict with translated plural "byte/bytes" string. - Remove some unnecessary translations and add comments to clarify some of the added translations. - Some small changes to the tests in patch 7.
Changes in V3:
- Address potential localization regression by making the downscaled
number format string also translatable. Also make the format string
for how the values and unit prefixes are displayed via
`strbuf_humanise_{bytes,rate}()` translatable to be more flexible.
- `strbuf_humanise_{bytes,count}_value()` has been renamed to
`humanise_{bytes,count}()` and updated to provide both the value and
unit prefix as separate strings.
- Unit prefix strings are no longer allocated and instead constant.
- The humanise flags are now defined in an enum.
- Instead of using `OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH`,
`OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT` and `OBJECT_INFO_QUICK` are used
explicitly.
- Tests now use git-rev-list(1) to verify disk size info.Changes in V2: - Factor out and reuse existing logic from strbuf_humanise() to handle downscaling values and determining the appropriate unit prefix separately. This enables more control over how exactly the values are written to the structure output table which is useful for alignment reasons. I'm not how about the interface used in patch 2. Feedback is most welcome. - In the previous version, when checking object size on a missing object we would die. Instead we now ignore missing objects. This allows the structure command to work on partial clones. - disk/inflated keyvalue names renamed to disk_size/inflated_size. - Unit prefixes are marked for translation. - The test for keyvalue disk size values are updated to check against real expected values instead of skipping. Table output tests still skip verifing human-readable values though.
Thanks, -Justin

In a subsequent commit, byte size values displayed in table output for

human-readable format with the appropriate unit prefixes. For this
- usecase, the downscaled values and unit prefixes must be handled

separately to ensure proper column alignment.
