Eclipse JGit: Java implementation of Git 5.4.2

Features (supporting fixes)

  • Cache FileStoreAttributes per directory, cache size can be configured via FileStoreAttributes#configureAttributesPathCache
  • Persist minimal racy threshold and allow manual configuration
    • Config section is "filesystem"
    • Config subsection is concatenation of
      • Java vendor (system property "java.vendor")
      • Java version (system property "java.version")
      • FileStore's name, on Windows we use the attribute volume:vsn instead since  the name is not necessarily unique.
      • separated by '|'
      • e.g. "AdoptOpenJDK|1.8.0_212-b03|/dev/disk1s1"
    • The config key for minmal racy threshold is "minRacyThreshold" as a time value, supported time units are those supported by DefaultTypedConfigGetter#getTimeUnit
    • If the minimal racy threshold is configured for a given FileStore the configured value is used instead of measuring it.
    • When the minimal racy threshold was measured it is persisted in ~/.gitconfig.
  • Measure minimum racy interval to auto-configure FileSnapshot
  • Measure stored file timestamp resolution instead of time to touch file
  • Use Instant for smudge time in DirCache and DirCacheEntry
  • Use Instant instead of milliseconds for filesystem timestamp handling This enables higher file timestamp resolution on filesystems like ext4, APFS (1ns) or NTFS (100ns) providing high timestamp resolution on filesystem level.
    • Note: on some OSes Java 8, 9 truncate milliseconds
      • see JDK-8177809, fixed in Java 10
      • Up to Java 13 UnixFileAttributes truncate timestamp resolution to microseconds when converting the internal representation to FileTime exposed in the API, this was fixed for Java 14. See JDK-8181493.
      • WindowsFileAttributes also provides only microsecond resolution, there is no fix yet hence we filed a new bug JDK-8231174.
  • Add support for nanoseconds and microseconds for Config#getTimeUnit
  • 546891, 548188 Persist filesystem timestamp resolution and allow manual configuration. To enable persisting filesystem timestamp resolution per FileStore add a new config section to the user global git configuration:
    • Config section is "filesystem"
    • Config subsection is concatenation of
      • Java vendor (system property "java.vendor")
      • runtime version (system property "java.version")
      • FileStore's name
      • separated by '|'
      • e.g. "AdoptOpenJDK|1.8.0_212-b03|/dev/disk1s1"
      • config key for timestamp resolution is "timestampResolution" as a time value, supported time units are those supported by DefaultTypedConfigGetter#getTimeUnit
    • If timestamp resolution is already configured for a given FileStore the configured value is used instead of measuring the resolution.
    • When timestamp resolution was measured it is persisted in ~/.gitconfig
    • Caution: do not attempt to manually configure a higher timestamp resolution than supported by the Java version being used at runtime.
  • 548188 Optionally measure filesystem timestamp resolution asynchronously
    • In order to enable measurement in the background call FileStoreAttributeCache.setAsyncfileStoreAttrCache(true)

      before the first access to cached FileStore attributes.
