The scoring method was not taking into account the similarity of
the file paths and file names. I changed the metric so that it is 99%
based on content (which used to be 100% of the old metric), and 1%
based on path similarity. Of that 1%, half (.5% of the total final
score) is based on the actual file names (e.g. "foo.java"), and half
on the directory (e.g. "src/com/foo/bar/").

The scoring logic in SimilarityIndex was dividing by the max file
size. If both files are empty, this would cause a div by zero
error. This case cannot currently happen, since two empty files
would have the same SHA1, and would therefore be caught in the
earlier SHA1 based detection pass. Still, if this logic eventually
gets separated from that pass, a div by zero error would occur.
I changed the logic to instead consider two empty files to have a
similarity score of 100.

Prior to this change, files that were very different in size (enough
so that they could not have enough in common to be detected as
renames) were still having their scores calculated. I added an
optimization to skip such files. For example, if the rename detection
threshold is 60%, the larger file is 200kb, and the smaller file is
50kb, the pair cannot be counted as a rename since they cannot
possibly share 60% of their content in common. (200*.6=120, 120>50)

when each CPU is assigned a slice of the available search space.
The number of threads to use is guessed from the runtime if it

PackWriter now caches small deltas, or deltas that are very tiny
compared to their source inputs, so that the writing phase goes
faster by reusing those cached deltas.
The cached data is stored compressed, which usually translates to
a bigger footprint due to deltas being very hard to compress, but
saves time during writing by avoiding the deflate step. They are
held under SoftReferences so that the JVM GC can clear out deltas
if memory gets very tight. We would rather continue working and
spend a bit more CPU time during writing than crash due to OOME.
To avoid OutOfMemoryErrors during the caching phase we also trap
OOME and just abort out of the caching.
Because deflateBound() always produces something larger than what
we need to actually store the deflated data, we copy it over into
a new buffer if the actual length doesn't match the buffer length.
When packing jgit.git this saves over 111 KiB in the cache, and is
thus a worthwhile hit on CPU time.
To further save memory we store the inflated size of the delta
(which we need for the object header) in the same field as the
pathHash, as the pathHash is no longer necessary by this phase
of the packing algorithm.

PackWriter now produces new deltas if there is not a suitable delta
available for reuse from an existing pack file. This permits JGit to
send less data on the wire by sending a delta relative to an object
the other side already has, instead of sending the whole object.
The delta searching algorithm is similar in style to what C Git
uses, but apparently has some differences (see below for more on).
Briefly, objects that should be considered for delta compression are
pushed onto a list. This list is then sorted by a rough similarity
score, which is derived from the path name the object was discovered
at in the repository during object counting. The list is then
walked in order.
At each position in the list, up to $WINDOW objects prior to it
are attempted as delta bases. Each object in the window is tried,
and the shortest delta instruction sequence selects the base object.
Some rough rules are used to prevent pathological behavior during
this matching phase, like skipping pairings of objects that are
not similar enough in size.
PackWriter intentionally excludes commits and annotated tags from
this new delta search phase. In the JGit repository only 28 out
of 2600+ commits can be delta compressed by C Git. As the commit
count tends to be a fair percentage of the total number of objects
in the repository, and they generally do not delta compress well,
skipping over them can improve performance with little increase in
the output pack size.
Because this implementation was rebuilt from scratch based on my own
memory of how the packing algorithm has evolved over the years in
C Git, PackWriter, DeltaWindow, and DeltaEncoder don't use exactly
the same rules everywhere, and that leads JGit to produce different
(but logically equivalent) pack files.
Repository | Pack Size (bytes) | Packing Time
| JGit - CGit = Difference | JGit / CGit
-----------+----------------------------------+-----------------
git | 25094348 - 24322890 = +771458 | 59.434s / 59.133s
jgit | 5669515 - 5709046 = - 39531 | 6.654s / 6.806s
linux-2.6 | 389M - 386M = +3M | 20m02s / 18m01s
For the above tests pack.threads was set to 1, window size=10,
delta depth=50, and delta and object reuse was disabled for both
implementations. Both implementations were reading from an already
fully packed repository on local disk. The running time reported
is after 1 warm-up run of the tested implementation.
PackWriter is writing 771 KiB more data on git.git, 3M more on
linux-2.6, but is actually 39.5 KiB smaller on jgit.git. Being
larger by less than 0.7% on linux-2.6 isn't bad, nor is taking an
extra 2 minutes to pack. On the running time side, JGit is at a
major disadvantage because linux-2.6 doesn't fit into the default
WindowCache of 20M, while C Git is able to mmap the entire pack and
have it available instantly in physical memory (assuming hot cache).
CGit also has a feature where it caches deltas that were created
during the compression phase, and uses those cached deltas during
the writing phase. PackWriter does not implement this (yet),
and therefore must create every delta twice. This could easily
account for the increased running time we are seeing.

DeltaIndex is a simple pack style delta generator. The function works
by creating a compact index of a source buffer's blocks, and then
walking a sliding window along a desired result buffer, searching for
the window in the index. When a match is found, the window is
stretched to the longest possible length that is common with the
source buffer, and a copy instruction is created.
Rabin's polynomial hash function is used to compute the hash for a
block, permitting efficient sliding of the window in single byte
increments. The update function to slide one byte originated from
David Mazieres' work in LBFS, and our implementation of the update
step was certainly inspired by the initial work Geert Bosch proposed
for C Git in http://marc.info/?l=git&m=114565424620771&w=2.
To ensure the encoder runs in linear time with respect to the size of
the two input buffers (source and result), the maximum number of
blocks that can share the same position in the index's hashtable is
capped at a constant number. This prevents bad inputs from causing
the encoder to run in quadratic time, but comes with a penalty of
creating a longer delta due to fewer considered copy positions.
Strange hackery is used to cap the amount of memory used by the index
to be no more than 12 bytes for every 16 bytes of source buffer, no
matter what the JVM per-object overhead is. This permits an index to
always be no larger than 1.75x the source buffer length, which is an
important feature to support large windows of candidates to match
against while packing. Here the strange hackery is nothing more than
a manually managed chained hashtable, where pointers are array indexes
into storage arrays rather than object references.
Computation of the hash function for a single fixed sized block is
done through an unrolled loop, where the first 4 iterations have been
manually reduced down to eliminate unnecessary instructions. The
pattern is derived from ObjectId.equals(byte[], int, byte[], int),
where we have unrolled the loop required to compare two 20 byte
arrays. Hours of testing with the Sun 1.6 JRE concluded that the
non-obvious "foo[idx + 1]" style of reference is faster than
"foo[idx++]", and so that is what we use here during hashing.

Content similarity based rename detection is performed only after
a linear time detection is performed using exact content match on
the ObjectIds. Any names which were paired up during that exact
match phase are excluded from the inexact similarity based rename,
which reduces the space that must be considered.
During rename detection two entries cannot be marked as a rename
if they are different types of files. This prevents a symlink from
being renamed to a regular file, even if their blob content appears
to be similar, or is identical.
Efficiently comparing two files is performed by building up two
hash indexes and hashing lines or short blocks from each file,
counting the number of bytes that each line or block represents.
Instead of using a standard java.util.HashMap, we use a custom
open hashing scheme similiar to what we use in ObjecIdSubclassMap.
This permits us to have a very light-weight hash, with very little
memory overhead per cell stored.
As we only need two ints per record in the map (line/block key and
number of bytes), we collapse them into a single long inside of
a long array, making very efficient use of available memory when
we create the index table. We only need object headers for the
index structure itself, and the index table, but not per-cell.
This offers a massive space savings over using java.util.HashMap.
The score calculation is done by approximating how many bytes are
the same between the two inputs (which for a delta would be how much
is copied from the base into the result). The score is derived by
dividing the approximate number of bytes in common into the length
of the larger of the two input files.
Right now the SimilarityIndex table should average about 1/2 full,
which means we waste about 50% of our memory on empty entries
after we are done indexing a file and sort the table's contents.
If memory becomes an issue we could discard the table and copy all
records over to a new array that is properly sized.
Building the index requires O(M + N log N) time, where M is the
size of the input file in bytes, and N is the number of unique
lines/blocks in the file. The N log N time constraint comes
from the sort of the index table that is necessary to perform
linear time matching against another SimilarityIndex created for
a different file.
To actually perform the rename detection, a SxD matrix is created,
placing the sources (aka deletions) along one dimension and the
destinations (aka additions) along the other. A simple O(S x D)
loop examines every cell in this matrix.
A SimilarityIndex is built along the row and reused for each
column compare along that row, avoiding the costly index rebuild
at the row level. A future improvement would be to load a smaller
square matrix into SimilarityIndexes and process everything in that
sub-matrix before discarding the column dimension and moving down
to the next sub-matrix block along that same grid of rows.
An optional ProgressMonitor is permitted to be passed in, allowing
applications to see the progress of the detector as it works through
the matrix cells. This provides some indication of current status
for very long running renames.
The default line/block hash function used by the SimilarityIndex
may not be optimal, and may produce too many collisions. It is
borrowed from RawText's hash, which is used to quickly skip out of
a longer equality test if two lines have different hash functions.
We may need to refine this hash in the future, in order to minimize
the number of collisions we get on common source files.
Based on a handful of test commits in JGit (especially my own
recent rename repository refactoring series), this rename detector
produces output that is very close to C Git. The content similarity
scores are sometimes off by 1%, which is most probably caused by
our SimilarityIndex type using a different hash function than C
Git uses when it computes the delta size between any two objects
in the rename matrix.

Callers don't necessarily need the getSize() result from a large
delta. They instead should be always using openStream() or copyTo()
for blobs going to local files, or they should be checking the
result of the constant-time isLarge() method to determine the type
of access they can use on the ObjectLoader. Avoid inflating the
delta instruction stream twice by delaying the decoding of the size
until after we have created the DeltaStream and decoded the header.
Likewise with the type, callers don't necessarily always need it
to be present in an ObjectLoader. Delay looking at it as late as
we can, thereby avoiding an ugly O(N^2) loop looking up the type
for every single object in the entire delta chain.

We used our LICENSE file to describe both the license of the package,
and also the header template that should appear at the start of
all Java files we create. This creates a confusing situation for
readers who just want to consume the package, because our file
header template starts off in the middle of a sentence.
Move our template header to a separate file, and reformat the text
of the license to be something more readable by a person reviewing
the project's terms of use.

We default this to 1 MiB for now, but we allow users to modify
it through the Repository's configuration file to be a different
value. A new repository listener is used to identify when the
setting has been updated and trigger a reconfiguration of any
active ObjectReaders.
To prevent a horrible explosion we cap core.streamFileThreshold
at no more than 1/4 of the maximum JVM heap size. We do this
because we need at least 2 byte arrays equal in size to the
stream threshold for the worst case delta inflation scenario,
and our host application probably also needs some amount of the
heap for their working set size.

Very large delta instruction streams, or deltas which use very large
base objects, are now streamed through as large objects rather than
being inflated into a byte array.
This isn't the most efficient way to access delta encoded content, as
we may need to rewind and reprocess the base object when there was a
block moved within the file, but it will at least prevent the JVM from
having its heap explode.
When streaming a delta we have an inflater open for each level in the
delta chain, to inflate the instruction set of the delta, as well as
an inflater for the base level object. The base object is buffered,
as is the top level delta requested by the application, but we do not
buffer the intermediate delta streams. This keeps memory usage lower,
so its closer to 1024 bytes per level in the chain, without having an
adverse impact on raw throughput as the top-level buffer gets pushed
down to the lowest stream that has the next region.
Delta instructions transparently collapse here, if the top level does
not copy a region from its base, the base won't materialize that part
from its own base, etc. This allows us to avoid copying around a lot
of segments which have been deleted from the final version.

Similar to the loose object support, whole packed objects can
now be streamed back to the caller. The streaming is less
efficient as we copy the data from the cached window array
into the InflaterInputStream's internal buffer, then inflate
it there before returning to the application.
Like with unpacked objects, there is plenty of room for some
optimization, especially for the copyTo method, where we don't
necessarily need so much buffering to exist.
