get_commit_action() reads as a predicate that decides whether a commit is shown or ignored, but for a line-level log without parent rewriting it also calls line_log_process_ranges_arbitrary_commit(), which mutates the tracked line ranges. That hidden side effect makes it unsafe to evaluate ahead of the walk, the way a lookahead would. get_commit_action() was split out of simplify_commit() in beb5af4 (graph API: fix bug in graph_is_interesting(), 2009-08-18) as the show/ignore decision minus the parent rewriting, so the graph renderer could reuse it; line-level log later routed its filtering through it as well, in 3cb9d2b (line-log: more responsive, incremental 'git log -L', 2020-05-11). Besides simplify_commit(), the walk driver, graph_is_interesting() is its only other caller, and it runs only under --graph, which sets rewrite_parents and therefore want_ancestry(); the "-L without ancestry" branch that holds the side effect never fires there, so it is dormant today. The line-level processing folds a commit's tracked ranges onto its parents, which must happen even for a commit that get_commit_action() filters from the output, or the ranges never reach the parents. Move it to simplify_commit() and run it before get_commit_action(), gated by get_commit_action()'s leading checks (already shown, uninteresting, and the like) so a commit ignored by those is not folded, as before; factor those checks out as commit_early_ignore(). get_commit_action() is then side-effect free. commit_early_ignore() runs twice on the -L path, once for that gate and once inside get_commit_action(), but it reads only object flags and pack membership, disjoint from the TREESAME flag the fold sets, so the repeat is harmless. Add a "line-log-peek" subcommand to the revision-walking test helper that evaluates get_commit_action() on a commit the walk has not reached yet, plus a t4211 check that the call leaves the commit's flags unchanged. The flags are compared rather than the commit list because add_line_range() merges ranges by union, which is idempotent, so the side effect never changed which commits a linear -L history shows.

There was a status update in the "New Topics" section about the branch The 'get_commit_action()' function has been refactored to be a pure predicate by moving the side-effecting line-level log range folding to 'simplify_commit()'. This ensures that evaluating a commit's action before the walk reaches it does not prematurely mutate its tracked line ranges, making it safer for potential lookahead evaluations. Needs review. source: <pull.2169.git.1784143793613.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> |
