Commit88473c8bae("load_ref_decorations(): avoid parsing non-tag objects", 2021-06-22) introduced a shortcut to `add_ref_decoration()`: Rather than calling `parse_object()`, we go for `oid_object_info()` and then `lookup_object_by_type()` using the type just discovered. As detailed in the commit message, this provides a significant time saving. Unfortunately, it also changes the behavior: We lose all annotated tags from the decoration. The reason this happens is in the loop where we try to peel the tags, we won't necessarily have parsed that first object. If we haven't, its `tagged` field will be NULL, so we won't actually add a decoration for the pointed-to object. Make sure to parse the tag object at the top of the peeling loop. This effectively restores the pre-88473c8bae parsing -- but only of tags, allowing us to keep most of the possible speedup from88473c8bae. On my big ~220k ref test case (where it's mostly non-tags), the timings [using "git log -1 --decorate"] are: - before either patch: 2.945s - with my broken patch: 0.707s - with [this patch]: 0.788s The simplest way to do this is to just conditionally parse before the loop: if (obj->type == OBJ_TAG) parse_object(&obj->oid); But we can observe that our tag-peeling loop needs to peel already, to examine recursive tags-of-tags. So instead of introducing a new call to parse_object(), we can simply move the parsing higher in the loop: instead of parsing the new object before we loop, parse each tag object before we look at its "tagged" field. This has another beneficial side effect: if a tag points at a commit (or other non-tag type), we do not bother to parse the commit at all now. And we know it is a commit without calling oid_object_info(), because parsing the surrounding tag object will have created the correct in-core object based on the "type" field of the tag. Our test coverage for --decorate was obviously not good, since we missed this quite-basic regression. The new tests covers an annotated tag (showing the fix), but also that we correctly show annotations for lightweight tags and double-annotated tag-of-tags.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
