This patch series implements the corrected commit date offsets as generation number v2, along with other pre-requisites.

Git uses topological levels in the commit-graph file for commit-graph traversal operations like git log --graph. Unfortunately, using topological levels can result in a worse performance than without them when compared with committer date as a heuristics. For example, git merge-base v4.8 v4.9 on the Linux repository walks 635,579 commits using topological levels and walks 167,468 using committer date.

Thus, the need for generation number v2 was born. New generation number needed to provide good performance, increment updates, and backward compatibility. Due to an unfortunate problem, we also needed a way to distinguish between the old and new generation number without incrementing graph version.

Various candidates were examined (https://github.com/derrickstolee/gen-test, https://github.com/abhishekkumar2718/git/pull/1). The proposed generation number v2, Corrected Commit Date with Mononotically Increasing Offsets performed much worse than committer date (506,577 vs. 167,468 commits walked for git merge-base v4.8 v4.9) and was dropped.

Using Generation Data chunk (GDAT) relieves the requirement of backward compatibility as we would continue to store topological levels in Commit Data (CDAT) chunk. Thus, Corrected Commit Date was chosen as generation number v2. The Corrected Commit Date is defined as:

For a commit C, let its corrected commit date be the maximum of the commit date of C and the corrected commit dates of its parents. Then corrected commit date offset is the difference between corrected commit date of C and commit date of C.

We will introduce an additional commit-graph chunk, Generation Data chunk, and store corrected commit date offsets in GDAT chunk while storing topological levels in CDAT chunk. The old versions of Git would ignore GDAT chunk, using topological levels from CDAT chunk. In contrast, new versions of Git would use corrected commit dates, falling back to topological level if the generation data chunk is absent in the commit-graph file.

Thanks to Dr. Stolee, Dr. Narębski, and Taylor for their reviews on the first version.

I look forward to everyone's reviews!
Thanks

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 3:
 * Reordered patches as discussed in 1
   [https://lore.kernel.org/git/aee0ae56-3395-6848-d573-27a318d72755@gmail.com/]
 * Split "implement corrected commit date" into two patches - one
   introducing the topo level slab and other implementing corrected commit
   dates.
 * Extended split-commit-graph tests to verify at the end of test.
 * Use topological levels as generation number if any of split commit-graph
   files do not have generation data chunk.
Changes in version 2:
 * Add tests for generation data chunk.
 * Add an option GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT to control whether to write
   generation data chunk.
 * Compare commits with corrected commit dates if present in
   paint_down_to_common().
 * Update technical documentation.
 * Handle mixed graph version commit chains.
 * Improve commit messages for
 * Revert unnecessary whitespace changes.
 * Split uint_32 -> timestamp_t change into a new commit.

     -    commit-graph: implement corrected commit date
     +    commit-graph: add a slab to store topological levels
      
     -    With most of preparations done, let's implement corrected commit date
     -    offset. We add a new commit-slab to store topogical levels while
     -    writing commit graph and upgrade the generation member in struct
     -    commit_graph_data to a 64-bit timestamp. We store topological levels to
     -    ensure that older versions of Git will still have the performance
     -    benefits from generation number v2.
     +    As we are writing topological levels to commit data chunk to ensure
     +    backwards compatibility with "Old" Git and the member `generation` of
     +    struct commit_graph_data will store corrected commit date in a later
     +    commit, let's introduce a commit-slab to store topological levels while
     +    writing commit-graph.
     +
     +    When Git creates a split commit-graph, it takes advantage of the
     +    generation values that have been computed already and present in
     +    existing commit-graph files.
     +
     +    So, let's add a pointer to struct commit_graph to the topological level
     +    commit-slab and populate it with topological levels while writing a
     +    split commit-graph.

       ## Commit message ##
     -    commit-graph: handle mixed generation commit chains
     +    commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does
      
     -    As corrected commit dates and topological levels cannot be compared
     -    directly, we must handle commit graph chains with mixed generation
     -    number definitions.
     +    Since there are released versions of Git that understand generation
     +    numbers in the commit-graph's CDAT chunk but do not understand the GDAT
     +    chunk, the following scenario is possible:
      
     -    While reading a commit graph file, we disable generation numbers if the
     -    chain contains mixed generation numbers.
     +    1. "New" Git writes a commit-graph with the GDAT chunk.
     +    2. "Old" Git writes a split commit-graph on top without a GDAT chunk.
      
     -    While writing to commit graph chain, we write generation data chunk only
     -    if the previous tip of chain had a generation data chunk. Using
     -    `--split=replace` overwrites the existing chain and writes generation
     -    data chunk regardless of previous tip.
     +    Because of the current use of inspecting the current layer for a
     +    chunk_generation_data pointer, the commits in the lower layer will be
     +    interpreted as having very large generation values (commit date plus
     +    offset) compared to the generation numbers in the top layer (topological
     +    level). This violates the expectation that the generation of a parent is
     +    strictly smaller than the generation of a child.
      
     -    In t5324-split-commit-graph, we set up a repo with twelve commits and
     -    write a base commit graph file with no generation data chunk. When add
     -    three commits and write to chain again, Git does not write generation
     -    data chunk even without setting GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT=1. Then,
     -    as we replace the existing chain, Git writes a commit graph file with
     -    generation data chunk.
     +    It is difficult to expose this issue in a test. Since we _start_ with
     +    artificially low generation numbers, any commit walk that prioritizes
     +    generation numbers will walk all of the commits with high generation
     +    number before walking the commits with low generation number. In all the
     +    cases I tried, the commit-graph layers themselves "protect" any
     +    incorrect behavior since none of the commits in the lower layer can
     +    reach the commits in the upper layer.
      
     +    This issue would manifest itself as a performance problem in this case,
     +    especially with something like "git log --graph" since the low
     +    generation numbers would cause the in-degree queue to walk all of the
     +    commits in the lower layer before allowing the topo-order queue to write
     +    anything to output (depending on the size of the upper layer).
