Introduce a header file to define a macro that can define the struct type, initializer, accessor and cleanup functions to manage a commit slab. Update the "indegree" topological sort facility using it. To associate 32 flag bits with each commit, you can write: define_commit_slab(flag32, uint32); to declare "struct flag32" type, define an instance of it with struct flag32 flags; and initialize it by calling init_flag32(&flags); After that, a call to flag32_at() function uint32 *fp = flag32_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at a uint32 for that commit. Once you are done with these flags, clean them up with clear_flag32(&flags); Callers that cannot hard-code how wide the data to be associated with the commit be at compile time can use the "_with_stride" variant to initialize the slab. Suppose you want to give one bit per existing ref, and paint commits down to find which refs are descendants of each commit. Saying typedef uint32 bits320[5]; define_commit_slab(flagbits, bits320); at compile time will still limit your code with hard-coded limit, because you may find that you have more than 320 refs at runtime. The code can declare a commit slab "struct flagbits" like this instead: define_commit_slab(flagbits, unsigned char); struct flagbits flags; and initialize it by: nrefs = ... count number of refs ... init_flagbits_with_stride(&flags, (nrefs + 7) / 8); so that unsigned char *fp = flagbits_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at an array of 40 "unsigned char"s associated with the commit, once you figure out nrefs is 320 at runtime.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, 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
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.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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.
