In-Reply-To: <cover.1644319434.git.dyroneteng@gmail.com>

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Add a --format option to ls-tree. It has an existing default output, and then --long and --name-only options to emit the default output along with the objectsize and, or to only emit object paths.

Rather than add --type-only, --object-only etc. we can just support a --format using a strbuf_expand() similar to "for-each-ref --format". We might still add such options in the future for convenience.

The --format implementation is slower than the existing code, but this change does not cause any performance regressions. We'll leave the existing show_tree() unchanged, and only run show_tree_fmt() in if a --format different than the hardcoded built-in ones corresponding to the existing modes is provided.

I.e. something like the "--long" output would be much slower with this, mainly due to how we need to allocate various things to do with quote.c instead of spewing the output directly to stdout.

The new option of '--format' comes from Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmasonn's idea and suggestion, this commit makes modifications in terms of the original discussion on community [1].

Here is the statistics about performance tests:

1. Default format (hitten the builtin formats):

    "git ls-tree <tree-ish>" vs "--format='%(mode) %(type) %(object)%x09%(file)'"

    $hyperfine --warmup=10 "/opt/git/master/bin/git ls-tree -r HEAD"
    Benchmark 1: /opt/git/master/bin/git ls-tree -r HEAD
    Time (mean ± σ):     105.2 ms ±   3.3 ms    [User: 84.3 ms, System: 20.8 ms]
    Range (min … max):    99.2 ms … 113.2 ms    28 runs

    $hyperfine --warmup=10 "/opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(mode) %(type) %(object)%x09%(file)'  HEAD"
    Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(mode) %(type) %(object)%x09%(file)'  HEAD
    Time (mean ± σ):     106.4 ms ±   2.7 ms    [User: 86.1 ms, System: 20.2 ms]
    Range (min … max):   100.2 ms … 110.5 ms    29 runs

2. Default format includes object size (hitten the builtin formats):

    "git ls-tree -l <tree-ish>" vs "--format='%(mode) %(type) %(object) %(size:padded)%x09%(file)'"

    $hyperfine --warmup=10 "/opt/git/master/bin/git ls-tree -r -l HEAD"
    Benchmark 1: /opt/git/master/bin/git ls-tree -r -l HEAD
    Time (mean ± σ):     335.1 ms ±   6.5 ms    [User: 304.6 ms, System: 30.4 ms]
    Range (min … max):   327.5 ms … 348.4 ms    10 runs

    $hyperfine --warmup=10 "/opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(mode) %(type) %(object) %(size:padded)%x09%(file)'  HEAD"
    Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(mode) %(type) %(object) %(size:padded)%x09%(file)'  HEAD
    Time (mean ± σ):     337.2 ms ±   8.2 ms    [User: 309.2 ms, System: 27.9 ms]

 Output Format

+
+The output format of `ls-tree` is determined by either the `--format`
+option, or other format-altering options such as `--name-only` etc.
+(see `--format` above).
+
+The use of certain `--format` directives is equivalent to using those
+options, but invoking the full formatting machinery can be slower than
+using an appropriate formatting option.
+
+In cases where the `--format` would exactly map to an existing option
+`ls-tree` will use the appropriate faster path. Thus the default format
+is equivalent to:
+
+        %(objectmode) %(objecttype) %(objectname)%x09%(path)
 
 This output format is compatible with what `--index-info --stdin` of
 'git update-index' expects.
 
 When the `-l` option is used, format changes to
 
-        <mode> SP <type> SP <object> SP <object size> TAB <file>
+        %(objectmode) %(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize:padded)%x09%(path)

 (see linkgit:git-config[1]).  Using `-z` the filename is output

+Customized format:
+
+It is possible to print in a custom format by using the `--format` option,
+which is able to interpolate different fields using a `%(fieldname)` notation.
+For example, if you only care about the "objectname" and "path" fields, you
+can execute with a specific "--format" like
+
+        git ls-tree --format='%(objectname) %(path)' <tree-ish>
+
+FIELD NAMES
+-----------
+
+Various values from structured fields can be used to interpolate
+into the resulting output. For each outputing line, the following
+names can be used:
+
+objectmode::
+	The mode of the object.
+objecttype::
+	The type of the object (`blob` or `tree`).
+objectname::
+	The name of the object.
+objectsize[:padded]::
+	The size of the object ("-" if it's a tree).
+	It also supports a padded format of size with "%(size:padded)".
+path::
+	The pathname of the object.
