<h2 id="_whats_an_object_walk">What&#8217;s an Object Walk?</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The object walk is a key concept in Git - this is the process that underpins
operations like object transfer and fsck. Beginning from a given commit, the
list of objects is found by walking parent relationships between commits (commit
X based on commit W) and containment relationships between objects (tree Y is
contained within commit X, and blob Z is located within tree Y, giving our
working tree for commit X something like <code>y/z.txt</code>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A related concept is the revision walk, which is focused on commit objects and
their parent relationships and does not delve into other object types. The
revision walk is used for operations like <code>git log</code>.</p>

<h4 id="_default_setups">Default Setups</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Before examining configuration files which may modify command behavior, set up
default state for switches or options your command may have. If your command
utilizes other Git components, ask them to set up their default states as well.
For instance, <code>git log</code> takes advantage of <code>grep</code> and <code>diff</code> functionality, so
its <code>init_log_defaults()</code> sets its own state (<code>decoration_style</code>) and asks
<code>grep</code> and <code>diff</code> to initialize themselves by calling each of their
initialization functions.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_configuring_from_gitconfig">Configuring From <code>.gitconfig</code></h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Next, we should have a look at any relevant configuration settings (i.e.,
settings readable and settable from <code>git config</code>). This is done by providing a
callback to <code>git_config()</code>; within that callback, you can also invoke methods
from other components you may need that need to intercept these options. Your
callback will be invoked once per each configuration value which Git knows about
(global, local, worktree, etc.).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Similarly to the default values, we don&#8217;t have anything to do here yet
ourselves; however, we should call <code>git_default_config()</code> if we aren&#8217;t calling
any other existing config callbacks.</p>

<h2 id="_basic_object_walk">Basic Object Walk</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>So far we&#8217;ve been walking only commits. But Git has more types of objects than
that! Let&#8217;s see if we can walk <em>all</em> objects, and find out some information
about each one.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>We can base our work on an example. <code>git pack-objects</code> prepares all kinds of
objects for packing into a bitmap or packfile. The work we are interested in
resides in <code>builtins/pack-objects.c:get_object_list()</code>; examination of that
function shows that the all-object walk is being performed by
<code>traverse_commit_list()</code> or <code>traverse_commit_list_filtered()</code>. Those two
functions reside in <code>list-objects.c</code>; examining the source shows that, despite
the name, these functions traverse all kinds of objects. Let&#8217;s have a look at
the arguments to <code>traverse_commit_list()</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>struct rev_info *revs</code>: This is the <code>rev_info</code> used for the walk. If
its <code>filter</code> member is not <code>NULL</code>, then <code>filter</code> contains information for
how to filter the object list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>show_commit_fn show_commit</code>: A callback which will be used to handle each
individual commit object.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>show_object_fn show_object</code>: A callback which will be used to handle each
non-commit object (so each blob, tree, or tag).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>void *show_data</code>: A context buffer which is passed in turn to <code>show_commit</code>
and <code>show_object</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In addition, <code>traverse_commit_list_filtered()</code> has an additional paramter:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>struct oidset *omitted</code>: A linked-list of object IDs which the provided
filter caused to be omitted.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>It looks like these methods use callbacks we provide instead of needing us
to call it repeatedly ourselves. Cool! Let&#8217;s add the callbacks first.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For the sake of this tutorial, we&#8217;ll simply keep track of how many of each kind
of object we find. At file scope in <code>builtin/walken.c</code> add the following
tracking variables:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>static int commit_count;
static int tag_count;
static int blob_count;
static int tree_count;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Commits are handled by a different callback than other objects; let&#8217;s do that
one first:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>static void walken_show_commit(struct commit *cmt, void *buf)
{
        commit_count++;
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>cmt</code> argument is fairly self-explanatory. But it&#8217;s worth mentioning that
the <code>buf</code> argument is actually the context buffer that we can provide to the
traversal calls - <code>show_data</code>, which we mentioned a moment ago.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Since we have the <code>struct commit</code> object, we can look at all the same parts that
we looked at in our earlier commit-only walk. For the sake of this tutorial,
though, we&#8217;ll just increment the commit counter and move on.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The callback for non-commits is a little different, as we&#8217;ll need to check
which kind of object we&#8217;re dealing with:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>static void walken_show_object(struct object *obj, const char *str, void *buf)
{
        switch (obj-&gt;type) {
        case OBJ_TREE:
                tree_count++;
                break;
        case OBJ_BLOB:
                blob_count++;
                break;
        case OBJ_TAG:
                tag_count++;
                break;
        case OBJ_COMMIT:
                BUG("unexpected commit object in walken_show_object\n");
        default:
                BUG("unexpected object type %s in walken_show_object\n",
                        type_name(obj-&gt;type));
        }
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Again, <code>obj</code> is fairly self-explanatory, and we can guess that <code>buf</code> is the same
context pointer that <code>walken_show_commit()</code> receives: the <code>show_data</code> argument
to <code>traverse_commit_list()</code> and <code>traverse_commit_list_filtered()</code>. Finally,
<code>str</code> contains the name of the object, which ends up being something like
<code>foo.txt</code> (blob), <code>bar/baz</code> (tree), or <code>v1.2.3</code> (tag).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To help assure us that we aren&#8217;t double-counting commits, we&#8217;ll include some
complaining if a commit object is routed through our non-commit callback; we&#8217;ll
also complain if we see an invalid object type. Since those two cases should be
unreachable, and would only change in the event of a semantic change to the Git
codebase, we complain by using <code>BUG()</code> - which is a signal to a developer that
the change they made caused unintended consequences, and the rest of the
codebase needs to be updated to understand that change. <code>BUG()</code> is not intended
to be seen by the public, so it is not localized.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Our main object walk implementation is substantially different from our commit
walk implementation, so let&#8217;s make a new function to perform the object walk. We
can perform setup which is applicable to all objects here, too, to keep separate
from setup which is applicable to commit-only walks.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>We&#8217;ll start by enabling all types of objects in the <code>struct rev_info</code>.  We&#8217;ll
also turn on <code>tree_blobs_in_commit_order</code>, which means that we will walk a
commit&#8217;s tree and everything it points to immediately after we find each commit,
as opposed to waiting for the end and walking through all trees after the commit
history has been discovered. With the appropriate settings configured, we are
ready to call <code>prepare_revision_walk()</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>static void walken_object_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
{
        rev-&gt;tree_objects = 1;
        rev-&gt;blob_objects = 1;
        rev-&gt;tag_objects = 1;
        rev-&gt;tree_blobs_in_commit_order = 1;

        tag_count = 0;
        blob_count = 0;

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Let&#8217;s start by calling just the unfiltered walk and reporting our counts.

<p>Finally, we&#8217;ll ask <code>cmd_walken()</code> to use the object walk instead. Discussing
command line options is out of scope for this tutorial, so we&#8217;ll just hardcode
a branch we can change at compile time. Where you call <code>final_rev_info_setup()</code>
and <code>walken_commit_walk()</code>, instead branch like so:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>        if (1) {
                add_head_to_pending(&amp;rev);
                walken_object_walk(&amp;rev);
        } else {
                final_rev_info_setup(argc, argv, prefix, &amp;rev);
                walken_commit_walk(&amp;rev);

<div class="admonitionblock note">

<td class="content">
For simplicity, we&#8217;ve avoided all the filters and sorts we applied in
<code>final_rev_info_setup()</code> and simply added <code>HEAD</code> to our pending queue. If you
want, you can certainly use the filters we added before by moving
<code>final_rev_info_setup()</code> out of the conditional and removing the call to
<code>add_head_to_pending()</code>.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Now we can try to run our command! It should take noticeably longer than the
commit walk, but an examination of the output will give you an idea why. Your
output should look similar to this example, but with different counts:</p>

<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>Object walk completed. Found 55733 commits, 100274 blobs, 0 tags, and 104210 trees.</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This makes sense. We have more trees than commits because the Git project has
lots of subdirectories which can change, plus at least one tree per commit. We
have no tags because we started on a commit (<code>HEAD</code>) and while tags can point to
commits, commits can&#8217;t point to tags.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_adding_a_filter_2">Adding a Filter</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There are a handful of filters that we can apply to the object walk laid out in
<code>Documentation/rev-list-options.txt</code>. These filters are typically useful for
operations such as creating packfiles or performing a partial clone. They are
defined in <code>list-objects-filter-options.h</code>. For the purposes of this tutorial we
will use the "tree:1" filter, which causes the walk to omit all trees and blobs
which are not directly referenced by commits reachable from the commit in
<code>pending</code> when the walk begins. (<code>pending</code> is the list of objects which need to
be traversed during a walk; you can imagine a breadth-first tree traversal to
help understand. In our case, that means we omit trees and blobs not directly
referenced by <code>HEAD</code> or <code>HEAD</code>'s history, because we begin the walk with only
<code>HEAD</code> in the <code>pending</code> list.)</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For now, we are not going to track the omitted objects, so we&#8217;ll replace those
parameters with <code>NULL</code>. For the sake of simplicity, we&#8217;ll add a simple
build-time branch to use our filter or not. Preface the line calling
<code>traverse_commit_list()</code> with the following, which will remind us which kind of
walk we&#8217;ve just performed:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>        if (0) {
                /* Unfiltered: */
                trace_printf(_("Unfiltered object walk.\n"));
        } else {
                trace_printf(
                        _("Filtered object walk with filterspec 'tree:1'.\n"));
                CALLOC_ARRAY(rev-&gt;filter, 1);
                parse_list_objects_filter(rev-&gt;filter, "tree:1");
        }
        traverse_commit_list(rev, walken_show_commit,
                             walken_show_object, NULL);</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>rev-&gt;filter</code> member is usually built directly from a command
line argument, so the module provides an easy way to build one from a string.
Even though we aren&#8217;t taking user input right now, we can still build one with
a hardcoded string using <code>parse_list_objects_filter()</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With the filter spec "tree:1", we are expecting to see <em>only</em> the root tree for
each commit; therefore, the tree object count should be less than or equal to
the number of commits. (For an example of why that&#8217;s true: <code>git commit --revert</code>
points to the same tree object as its grandparent.)</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_counting_omitted_objects">Counting Omitted Objects</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>We also have the capability to enumerate all objects which were omitted by a
filter, like with <code>git log --filter=&lt;spec&gt; --filter-print-omitted</code>. Asking
<code>traverse_commit_list_filtered()</code> to populate the <code>omitted</code> list means that our
object walk does not perform any better than an unfiltered object walk; all
reachable objects are walked in order to populate the list.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>First, add the <code>struct oidset</code> and related items we will use to iterate it:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>static void walken_object_walk(
        ...

struct oidset omitted;
        struct oidset_iter oit;
        struct object_id *oid = NULL;
        int omitted_count = 0;
        oidset_init(&amp;omitted, 0);

...</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Modify the call to <code>traverse_commit_list_filtered()</code> to include your <code>omitted</code>
object:</p>

traverse_commit_list_filtered(rev,

...</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Then, after your traversal, the <code>oidset</code> traversal is pretty straightforward.
Count all the objects within and modify the print statement:</p>

<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">

        oidset_iter_init(&amp;omitted, &amp;oit);

</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By running your walk with and without the filter, you should find that the total
object count in each case is identical. You can also time each invocation of
the <code>walken</code> subcommand, with and without <code>omitted</code> being passed in, to confirm
to yourself the runtime impact of tracking all omitted objects.</p>

go:</p>
