[PATCH v2] bloom: ignore renames when computing changed paths

Message-ID: <pull.601.v2.git.1586437211842.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.601.git.1586363907252.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

The changed-path Bloom filters record an entry in the filter for every path that was changed. This includes every add and delete, regardless of whether a rename was detected. Detecting renames causes significant performance issues, but also will trigger downloading missing blobs in partial clone.

The simple fix is to disable rename detection when computing a changed-path Bloom filter. This should already be disabled by default, but it is good to explicitly enforce the intended behavior.

    bloom: ignore renames when computing changed paths
    
    I promised [1] I would adapt the commit that was dropped from
    gs/commit-graph-path-filter [2] on top of gs/commit-graph-path-filter
    and jt/avoid-prefetch-when-able-in-diff. However, I noticed that the
    change was extremely simple and has value without basing it on
    jt/avoid-prefetch-when-able-in-diff.
    
    This change applied to gs/commit-graph-path-filter has obvious CPU time
    improvements for computing changed-path Bloom filters (that I did not
    measure). The partial clone improvements require
    jt/avoid-prefetch-when-able-in-diff to be included, too, but the code
    does not depend on it at compile time.
    
    Thanks, -Stolee
