[PATCH 4/8] bundle-uri: download in creationToken order

In-Reply-To: <pull.1454.git.1673037405.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The creationToken heuristic provides an ordering on the bundles advertised by a bundle list. Teach the Git client to download bundles differently when this heuristic is advertised.

The bundles in the list are sorted by their advertised creationToken values, then downloaded in decreasing order. This avoids the previous strategy of downloading bundles in an arbitrary order and attempting to apply them (likely failing in the case of required commits) until discovering the order through attempted unbundling.

During a fresh 'git clone', it may make sense to download the bundles in increasing order, since that would prevent the need to attempt unbundling a bundle with required commits that do not exist in our empty object store. The cost of testing an unbundle is quite low, and instead the chosen order is optimizing for a future bundle download during a 'git fetch' operation with a non-empty object store.

Since the Git client continues fetching from the Git remote after downloading and unbundling bundles, the client's object store can be ahead of the bundle provider's object store. The next time it attempts to download from the bundle list, it makes most sense to download only the most-recent bundles until all tips successfully unbundle. The strategy implemented here provides that short-circuit where the client downloads a minimal set of bundles.

A later implementation detail will store the maximum creationToken seen during such a bundle download, and the client will avoid downloading a bundle unless its creationToken is strictly greater than that stored value. For now, if the client seeks to download from an identical bundle list since its previous download, it will download the most-recent bundle then stop since its required commits are already in the object store.

Add tests that exercise this behavior, but we will expand upon these tests when incremental downloads during 'git fetch' make use of creationToken values.
