Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining
htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in
different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed
directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML
documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same.
Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that
"git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the
correct directory.

At this point in the code after running skip_prefix() on the
variable and receiving the result in the same variable, the contents
of the variable can never be NULL. The function either (1) updates
the variable to point at a later part of the string it originally
pointed at, or (2) leaves it intact if the string does not have the
prefix. (1) will never make the variable NULL, and (2) cannot be
the source of NULL, because the variable cannot be NULL before
calling skip_prefix(), which would die immediately by dereferencing
the NULL pointer in that case.

We have two different ways to write an object into the database:
- We either provide the full buffer and write the object all at once.
- Or we provide an input stream that has a `read()` function so that
we can chunk the object.
The latter is especially used for large objects, where it may be too
expensive to hold the complete object in memory all at once.
While we already have `odb_write_object()` at the ODB-layer, we don't
have an equivalent for streaming an object. Introduce a new function
`odb_write_object_stream()` to address this gap so that callers don't
have to be aware of the inner workings of how to stream an object to
disk with a specific object source.
Rename `stream_loose_object()` to `odb_source_loose_write_stream()` to
clarify its scope. This matches our modern best practices around how to
name functions.

When writing an object that already exists in our object database we
skip the write and instead only update mtimes of the object, either in
its packed or loose object format. This logic is wholly contained in
"object-file.c", but that file is really only concerned with loose
objects. So it does not really make sense that it also contains the
logic to freshen a packed object.
Introduce a new `odb_freshen_object()` function that sits on the object
database level and two functions `packfile_store_freshen_object()` and
`odb_source_loose_freshen_object()`. Like this, the format-specific
functions can be part of their respective subsystems, while the backend
agnostic function to freshen an object sits at the object database
layer.
Note that this change also moves the logic that iterates through object
sources from the object source layer into the object database layer.
This change is intentional: object sources should ideally only have to
worry about themselves, and coordination of different sources should be
handled on the object database level.

When reading an object via `loose_object_info()` or `map_loose_object()`
we hand in the whole repository. We then iterate through each of the
object sources to figure out whether that source has the object in
question.
This logic is reversing responsibility though: a specific backend should
only care about one specific source, where the object sources themselves
are then managed by the object database.
Refactor the code accordingly by passing an object source to both of
these functions instead. The different sources are then handled by
either `do_oid_object_info_extended()`, which sits on the object
database level, and by `open_istream_loose()`. The latter function
arguably is still at the wrong level, but this will be cleaned up at a
later point in time.

There are two different situations where we have to clear the cache of
loose objects:
- When freeing the loose object source itself to avoid memory leaks.
- When repreparing the loose object source so that any potentially-
stale data is getting evicted from the cache.
The former is already handled by `odb_source_loose_free()`. But the
latter case is still done manually by in `odb_reprepare()`, so we are
leaking internals into that code.
Introduce a new `odb_source_loose_reprepare()` function as an equivalent
to `packfile_store_prepare()` to hide these implementation details.
Furthermore, while at it, rename the function `odb_clear_loose_cache()`
to `odb_source_loose_clear()`.

Our loose objects use a cache that (optionally) stores all objects for
each of the opened sharding directories. This cache is located in the
`struct odb_source`, but now that we have `struct odb_source_loose` it
makes sense to move it into the latter structure so that all state that
relates to loose objects is entirely self-contained.
Do so. While at it, rename corresponding functions to have a prefix that
relates to `struct odb_source_loose`.
Note that despite this prefix, the functions still accept a `struct
odb_source` as input. This is done intentionally: once we introduce
pluggable object databases, we will continue to accept this struct but
then do a cast inside these functions to `struct odb_source_loose`. This
design is similar to how we do it for our ref backends.

When adding an alternate to the object database we first check whether
or not the path is usable. A path is usable if:
- It actually exists.
- We don't have it in our object sources yet.
While the former check is trivial enough, the latter part is somewhat
subtle and prone for bugs. This is because the function doesn't only
check whether or not the given path is usable. But if it _is_ usable, we
also store that path in the map of object sources immediately.
The tricky part here is that the path that gets stored in the map is
_not_ copied. Instead, we rely on the fact that subsequent code uses
`strbuf_detach()` to store the exact same allocated memory in the
created object source. Consequently, the memory is owned by the source
but _also_ stored in the map. This subtlety is easy to miss, so if one
decides to refactor this code one can easily end up breaking this
mechanism.
Make the relationship more explicit by not storing the path as part of
`alt_odb_usable()`. Instead, store the path after we have created the
source so that we can use the source's path pointer directly.

The current implementation of git-last-modified(1) works by doing a
revision walk, and inspecting the diff at each level of that walk to
annotate entries remaining in the hashmap of paths. In other words, if
the diff at some level touches a path which has not yet been associated
with a commit, then that commit becomes associated with the path.
While a perfectly reasonable implementation, it can perform poorly in
either one of two scenarios:
1. There are many entries of interest, in which case there is simply
a lot of work to do.
2. Or, there are (even a few) entries which have not been updated in a
long time, and so we must walk through a lot of history in order to
find a commit that touches that path.
This patch rewrites the last-modified implementation that addresses the
second point. The idea behind the algorithm is to propagate a set of
'active' paths (a path is 'active' if it does not yet belong to a
commit) up to parents and do a truncated revision walk.
The walk is truncated because it does not produce a revision for every
change in the original pathspec, but rather only for active paths.
More specifically, consider a priority queue of commits sorted by
generation number. First, enqueue the set of boundary commits with all
paths in the original spec marked as interesting.
Then, while the queue is not empty, do the following:
1. Pop an element, say, 'c', off of the queue, making sure that 'c'
isn't reachable by anything in the '--not' set.
2. For each parent 'p' (with index 'parent_i') of 'c', do the
following:
a. Compute the diff between 'c' and 'p'.
b. Pass any active paths that are TREESAME from 'c' to 'p'.
c. If 'p' has any active paths, push it onto the queue.
3. Any path that remains active on 'c' is associated to that commit.
This ends up being equivalent to doing something like 'git log -1 --
$path' for each path simultaneously. But, it allows us to go much faster
than the original implementation by limiting the number of diffs we
compute, since we can avoid parts of history that would have been
considered by the revision walk in the original implementation, but are
known to be uninteresting to us because we have already marked all paths
in that area to be inactive.
To avoid computing many first-parent diffs, add another trick on top of
this and check if all paths active in 'c' are DEFINITELY NOT in c's
Bloom filter. Since the commit-graph only stores first-parent diffs in
the Bloom filters, we can only apply this trick to first-parent diffs.
Comparing the performance of this new algorithm shows about a 2.5x
improvement on git.git:
Benchmark 1: master no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 2.868 s ± 0.023 s [User: 2.811 s, System: 0.051 s]
Range (min … max): 2.847 s … 2.926 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: master with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 949.9 ms ± 15.2 ms [User: 907.6 ms, System: 39.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 933.3 ms … 971.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 3: HEAD no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 782.0 ms ± 6.3 ms [User: 740.7 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 776.4 ms … 798.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 4: HEAD with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 307.1 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 276.4 ms, System: 29.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 303.7 ms … 309.5 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD with bloom ran
2.55 ± 0.02 times faster than HEAD no bloom
3.09 ± 0.05 times faster than master with bloom
9.34 ± 0.09 times faster than master no bloom
In short, the existing implementation is comparably fast *with* Bloom
filters as the new implementation is *without* Bloom filters. So, most
repositories should get a dramatic speed-up by just deploying this (even
without computing Bloom filters), and all repositories should get faster
still when computing Bloom filters.
When comparing a more extreme example of
`git last-modified -- COPYING t`, the difference is even 5 times better:
Benchmark 1: master
Time (mean ± σ): 4.372 s ± 0.057 s [User: 4.286 s, System: 0.062 s]
Range (min … max): 4.308 s … 4.509 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 826.3 ms ± 22.3 ms [User: 784.1 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 810.6 ms … 881.2 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD ran
5.29 ± 0.16 times faster than master
As an added benefit, results are more consistent now. For example
implementation in 'master' gives:
$ git log --max-count=1 --format=%H -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07
$ git last-modified -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07 pkt-line.h
$ git last-modified | grep pkt-line.h
5b49c1af03 pkt-line.h
With the changes in this patch the results of git-last-modified(1)
always match those of `git log --max-count=1`.
One thing to note though, the results might be outputted in a different
order than before. This is not considerd to be an issue because nowhere
is documented the order is guaranteed.
