Performance, memory and diff-quality work on the hunk scan path, on top of main (9a62459, after #14, #15 and #20). The first three commits keep emissions byte-identical to main (order-independent digests pinned for gitleaks, trufflehog and rails in dedup and non-dedup mode at 4, 8 and 64 workers; kubernetes and linux dedup hunk counts and digests match). The last commit changes the added-line alignment (see "Diff alignment" below), so emissions after it differ from main by design.

What changed

  • Parent-first order for every hunk scan. The streaming pipeline dispatched commits in ref-walk visit order, which interleaves unrelated lineages. Both pipelines now consume loadAllCommits order: consecutive commits touch consecutive versions of the same files, so delta-chain tails stay in the offset cache. The loaded commit graph resolves every first-parent tree; the tree memo serves only parents outside the loaded set.

  • Smaller serial prefix. orderCommitsParentFirst keeps the same (timestamp, OID) order through position indexes, int32 degree/CSR arrays, an int32 heap and a leading-word open-addressing index (rails: 173 ms -> 32 ms). Walk workers follow one lineage each with a sharded seen set and share work through stealing and donation (the single-worker ordered walk keeps its depth-first order). ParentOIDs compact into one array; header parsing splits lines in place; the graph's two maps build concurrently; the dedup pipeline no longer re-orders an already ordered list.

  • Dedup skips repeated pairs by key. In first-introduction order a repeated (old, new) transition adds no text lines, so the dedup pipeline registers each computed pair by hand-out position and skips later repeats (re-diffed only once the fingerprint table has saturated, so fail-open still emits them; results with a dedup-exempt hunk are re-diffed). Computed pairs are compacted exactly as the pair memo would store them, so the dedup path keeps its retention bound while the memo serves the streaming pipeline only.

  • Two-pass fingerprint probing. prefilterHunk hashes a hunk's lines first and probes the snapshot in groups of sixteen after touching their home slots, so the cache misses on the fingerprint table overlap.

  • WithHunkDedupRetainedBudget. The retained-bytes cap of the dedup pipeline (512 MiB) is configurable; budgets below 1 MiB are raised to 1 MiB. rails on 8 cores: 128 MiB with a 64 MiB object cache measures peak heap in use 1368 MB -> 938 MB at 2.91 s -> 3.13 s.

  • Packed objects stay out of the ARC when the offset cache is on. A delta-window hit promoted every object into the entry-count-bounded ARC, pinning a second copy of blobs the offset cache already served. Dedup scan, 8 cores: peak RSS rails 1680 MB -> 1481 MB, kubernetes 3758 MB -> 3400 MB, wall unchanged.

Diff alignment

addedHunksWithPos matched each new line to the earliest equal old line at or after the current position. A block inserted ahead of a line that repeats later in the file (a test case whose first line cfgName: "simple", recurs, an import moved up) made the walk jump to the later copy and report every unchanged line in between as added, so a scan re-reported every secret in the rest of the file at that commit. Added lines are now the new lines outside a longest common subsequence (Myers' linear-space middle-snake search after trimming the common prefix and suffix on line boundaries), bounded by a comparison budget of 1<<24; pairs beyond it (0.1-0.3% of pairs) keep the greedy walk.

Emitted lines over the full history without dedup, against git log -p -U0 --all --full-history with rename detection:

repo before after git
gitleaks 985,868 586,658 583,509
trufflehog 2,744,027 1,019,408 994,631
rails 40,025,518 3,589,933 3,399,445
kubernetes (dedup) 93.7M 31.0M

Scan time with the new alignment: rails dedup 8 cores 2860 ms -> 2455 ms, 64 cores 1250 ms -> 1090 ms; kubernetes dedup unchanged (5.6 s at 64 cores). The differential tests check the LCS definition (added count = len(new) - LCS, unreported lines form a subsequence of old, hunks are maximal runs).

Measurements

Dedup hunk scan (DiffHistoryHunksFunc, WithHunkLineDedup+WithSkipMergeDiffs, FNV consumer), Graviton3 arm64, Go 1.26.5. Paired confirmation (3 alternating pairs, main 9a62459 vs e946d5d), primary metric = trufflehog + rails at 16 cores:

wall, rails non-dedup, 16 cores 1765–1796 ms 1726–1754 ms (−1%)

Other configurations, single runs against main:

rails 4 cores 6.23 s, 2.04 GB 5.34 s, 1.69 GB
rails 8 cores 3.55 s, 2.08 GB 2.89 s, 1.70 GB
kubernetes (162k commits) 16 cores 9.25 s, 130 CPU-s 8.44 s, 119 CPU-s
linux (1.48M commits) 64 cores 44.0 s, 1020 CPU-s, 13.3 GB 34.5 s, 771 CPU-s, 12.3 GB

For reference, git log -p -U0 --full-history --all --diff-filter=tuxdb takes 0.6 s (gitleaks), 3.0 s (trufflehog) and 25.6 s (rails) single-threaded.

Correctness

  • go vet, go test -count=1 ., go test -race -count=1 . pass.
  • Through b4b6075, pinned emission digests match main for gitleaks, trufflehog and rails (dedup and non-dedup, 4/8/64 workers); kubernetes and linux dedup hunk counts and digests match main. After 3811d26 the alignment change is the only source of emission differences.
  • New tests: LCS oracle vs addedHunksWithPosScratch on random edits (including inserted blocks whose lines repeat), work-budget fallback, common-suffix trimming, packed objects kept out of the ARC, WithHunkDedupRetainedBudget, reference Kahn ordering vs orderCommitsParentFirst (including cycles), searchHashes vs byte-wise search, walk visits every commit once / propagates errors / visits concurrently, first-seen pair table, repeated text and binary pairs and saturated fail-open against the serial dedup reference, first-parent resolution through the loaded graph.

Left on the table

At 64 cores the dedup sequencer mutex (takeOrdered) is the dominant wait: 43 s of waiting across 64 workers in a 1.55 s rails scan. A hierarchical (commit, pair) hand-out would remove it; a batch queue in front of the mutex measured neutral at 16 cores.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an option to cap memory retained during deduplicated scans, with a minimum budget of 1 MiB.
  • Improvements
    • History scans can process large repositories more efficiently, including histories with packed commits and deltified files.
    • File-change results are more precise for repeated or similar lines, while bounded diff processing falls back when needed.
    • Deduplicated scans preserve results when memory limits are reached.

…d prefix

Both hunk pipelines now diff commits in loadAllCommits order. Consecutive
commits in parent-first timestamp order touch consecutive versions of the
same files, so their delta chains share tails that are still in the offset
cache; the ref-walk visit order interleaves unrelated lineages. The loaded
commit graph resolves every first-parent tree, so the tree memo serves only
parents outside the loaded set.

The load itself does less serial work: ordering preserves the existing
(timestamp, OID) order through position indexes, int32 degree and CSR child
arrays, an int32 heap, and a leading-word open-addressing index; walk workers
follow one lineage each with a sharded seen set and share work through
stealing and donation (the single-worker ordered walk keeps its depth-first
order); ParentOIDs compact into one array; header parsing splits lines in
place; the graph's two maps build concurrently.

rails+trufflehog dedup scan at 16 cores: 2498 ms -> 2026 ms.
…n two passes

In first-introduction order a repeated (old, new) blob transition adds no
text lines: every line of its hunks was inserted into, or already present
in, the fingerprint set when the earlier occurrence was decided. The dedup
pipeline registers each computed pair by hand-out position in a first-seen
table and skips the diff of later repeats. A skipped repeat is diffed again
only when the set has saturated, so fail-open still emits it; results with
a dedup-exempt hunk are diffed at every occurrence. Computed pairs go
through pairHunksUncached, which compacts hunks exactly as the pair memo
would store them, so the dedup path keeps its retention bound and the memo
serves the streaming pipeline only.

prefilterHunk hashes every line of a hunk first, then probes the snapshot
in groups of sixteen after touching each group's home slots, so the core
overlaps the cache misses the fingerprint table causes.

rails+trufflehog dedup scan at 16 cores: 2026 ms -> 1998 ms; rails peak RSS
1920 MB -> 1760 MB.
Reference implementations define the behavior the optimized paths preserve:
the full-tokenization greedy walk for addedHunksWithPosScratch, map-and-heap
Kahn ordering for orderCommitsParentFirst (including cycles), and a
byte-wise comparison for searchHashes. The tests guard the dedup pipeline's
first-introduction semantics across repeated pairs, including repeat
emission once the fingerprint table fills, and the walk's every-commit-once
and concurrent-visit contracts.

Walkthrough

Commit loading, history scanning, and hunk deduplication now use indexed commit graphs and parent-first order. Added-hunk generation uses a bounded Myers path. Packed-object lookup and whale prefetch now support indexed OID searches and deltified blobs.

Changes

History Loading and Hunk Scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Indexed parent graph and ordering
commit_order.go, commit_graph.go, commit_load_helpers_test.go, commit_walk_fast_test.go, commit_enum_test.go
Commit ordering and graph construction use parent indexes. Tests compare indexed ordering and graph data with reference implementations.
Packed commit enumeration and reachability
commit_enum.go, commit_fallback.go, commit_enum_test.go, commit_fallback_test.go, commit_walk_determinism_test.go, commit_walk_fast_test.go
Reachable loading combines enumerated packed commits with store reads for uncovered objects. The fallback walk is serial and deterministic.
Graph-backed history scanning
history_scanner.go, history_scanner_test.go, scan_memory_test.go
Scans load commits with their graph before dispatch and resolve first-parent trees through the graph. The combined load is refreshed when ref tips or shallow-file contents change.
Budgeted repeated-pair deduplication
cache_options.go, hunk_dedup.go, pair_cache.go, hunk_dedup_pairs_test.go, scan_memory_test.go
Dedup scans track first-seen blob pairs and can skip eligible repeated diffs. A retained-byte option sets a cap with a 1 MiB minimum; saturation causes skipped work to be recomputed.

Minimal Added-Hunk Diff

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded Myers hunk generation
diff_blob.go, diff_myers.go
The hunk path trims a shared line-aligned suffix and uses bounded Myers processing, falling back to the existing greedy matcher when needed.
Hunk minimality and boundary validation
diff_differential_test.go, diff_myers_test.go, scan_alloc_test.go
Tests validate minimal added hunks, fallback behavior, suffix boundaries, and fingerprint behavior using LCS and reference comparisons.

Packed Object Lookup and Caching

Layer / File(s) Summary
OID prefix-indexed lookup
idx.go, midx_in_memory.go, commit_walk_fast_test.go
Pack and in-memory multi-pack lookups use OID prefix ranges, with existing fanout lookup as a fallback.
Deltified blob prefetch
delta.go, offset_cache.go, offset_cache_test.go
Whale sizing and cache admission account for delta targets. Prefetch loads deltified blobs and reports their materialized object type.
Packed-object cache routing
store.go, store_test.go
With the offset cache enabled, packed objects bypass ARC promotion and lookup.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ebffc

This change speeds up history scanning and makes added-line diffs minimal. The remaining issue is a small prefetch-budget inefficiency for large deltified blobs; scan results are not affected. It is safe to merge, with that minor follow-up recommended.

The retained-bytes cap of the deduplicating scan was an internal constant
(512 MiB). The option lets consumers on small hosts trade scan throughput
for peak memory; budgets below 1 MiB are raised to 1 MiB.

rails (119k commits, 8 cores): 128 MiB budget with a 64 MiB object cache
measures peak heap in use 1368 MB -> 938 MB and scan 2.91 s -> 3.13 s.
… is on

A delta-window hit promoted every object into the ARC, whose bound is
16K entries rather than bytes. Under an enabled offset cache the packed
object is already retained by (pack, offset), so the ARC copy pinned a
second set of blobs. Promotion now applies to loose objects and, with
the offset cache disabled, to packed ones.

Measured with gpbench (dedup scan, 8 cores): peak RSS rails
1680 MB -> 1481 MB, kubernetes 3758 MB -> 3400 MB; wall 2898 ms -> 2852 ms
and 14473 ms -> 14487 ms.

addedHunksWithPos matched each new line to the earliest equal old line at
or after the current position. A block inserted ahead of a line that
repeats later in the file made the walk jump to the later copy and report
the unchanged lines in between as added, so a scan re-reported every
secret in the rest of the file at that commit.

Added lines are now the new lines outside a longest common subsequence,
computed with Myers' linear-space middle-snake algorithm after trimming the
common prefix and suffix on line boundaries. The search is bounded by a
comparison budget (1<<24); pairs beyond it keep the greedy walk, whose
output on wholesale rewrites is dominated by lines that are new in any
alignment.

Emitted lines, full history without dedup, against git log -p -U0 --all
with rename detection: gitleaks 985,868 -> 586,658 (git 583,509);
trufflehog 2,744,027 -> 1,019,408 (git 994,631); rails
40,025,518 -> 3,589,933 (git 3,399,445). Dedup scan of rails, 8 cores:
2860 ms -> 2455 ms; kubernetes dedup lines 93.7M -> 31.0M at unchanged
wall time.

The differential tests check the LCS definition: the added count equals
len(new) - LCS, the unreported lines form a subsequence of old, and hunks
are maximal runs.
…alks

The frontier searches compared strings directly, so every unequal pair
paid two pointer dereferences and a length check. Each side now carries a
64-bit fingerprint (length mixed with the first and last eight bytes) and
the walks compare fingerprints first; strings are compared on fingerprint
equality only. A pair whose length difference already exceeds the budget
returns before any comparison.

Measured with the full gitleaks scan, Myers time summed over pairs:
529 ms -> 469 ms; the largest pair (a 1477-line word list reordered)
29 ms -> 17 ms.

The stage-1 cap is max(8, NumCPU/2): unchanged through sixteen CPUs,
sixteen at 32, thirty-two at 64. Measured on the rails dedup scan at 32
cores (execution trace): with eight tree workers the hunk workers ran at
10-15 of 32 while waiting on the tree stage; with sixteen the pipeline
ran at 27-30 of 32 and wall fell 1.16 s -> 1.03 s (median of 3).

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
commonSuffixLineBoundary compared bytes one at a time; on the rails dedup
scan that loop was 15% of CPU (2.37 of 15.3 sampled seconds). The tail is
now compared in 256-byte chunks through bytes.Equal, then by 8-byte words,
then by bytes, the same shape commonPrefixLineBoundary already uses. Scan
CPU 20.0 s -> 17.7 s on rails at 32 cores; a randomized test pins the
chunked result to the byte-loop reference across chunk and word edges.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
The dedup pipeline forwarded expensive pairs ahead of order, but only
once the tree stage reached their commit. On trufflehog the 54 MB
committed binary was tree-diffed 44 ms into the scan, inflated for
97 ms, and held the decision stage from 80 ms to 153 ms of a 167 ms
scan. The dedup scan now runs the store's whale prefetch like the
streaming scan does, so that inflation starts at scan start: trufflehog
167 ms -> 138 ms, rails unchanged. A test pins that the prefetch is
active during the dedup scan and released after it.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
… DAG

The reachable ref walk discovers a commit only after inflating its child,
so its critical path is the first-parent chain: on rails 176 ms with
sixteen workers at a quarter of their capacity. loadFromRefs now reads
every commit stored whole in the packs in parallel over index ranges
(rails: 118k commits in 24 ms), resolves parents to indexes, and runs the
reachable walk in memory; delta-encoded, loose and tag objects (1.4k on
rails) are read through walkOne in parallel batches. The reachable set
and the parent-first order are unchanged; tests pin the load to the DAG
walk on the fixtures and on a repository mixing packed, loose, tagged
and unreachable commits. Rails commit load 255 ms -> 125 ms, scan wall
1.01 s -> 0.88 s (interleaved medians of 6).

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
findObject binary-searched the byte fanout's bucket, about four thousand
OIDs on a million-object pack, so each lookup paid roughly twelve cache
misses into the 19 MiB OID table; the tree stage's object loads made it
7.5% of a rails scan's CPU. Each idx (and the in-memory midx) now carries
a fanout over ceil(log2 n) leading bits, clamped to [8, 22], so a bucket
holds about one entry and the search settles in a probe or two. Rails
scan CPU 17.3 s -> 16.4 s; paired wall ratio against 2fcf290 0.76 ->
0.72. A test drives lookups through the prefix index against the byte
fanout for hits, misses and near misses across table sizes.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
The reachable walk already resolves every parent to a position; the
ordering and the graph builder then rebuilt that information from OIDs:
an open-addressing index plus two lookups per parent link in
orderCommitsParentFirst, and a map lookup per link in
buildCommitGraphFromCommits. orderCommitsParentFirstIndexed now orders
over the resolved positions and returns the permutation, and
buildCommitGraphIndexed remaps the parent positions through it. The
store reads for commits the enumeration did not cover (delta-encoded,
loose, tags) run in a reader pool while the in-memory walk continues
instead of in batches between walk rounds. Rails commit load 125 ms ->
92 ms (ordering 30 -> 21, graph 34 -> 17, reachable walk 60 -> 50); the
graph is pinned equal to the lookup builder's on the fixtures.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
Three output-identical cuts on the hunk workers' hot path, together 5%
of a rails scan's CPU (16.5 s -> 15.7 s):

- middleSnake reads its frontiers, fingerprints and lines through
  unchecked pointer views; the indexes are in range by construction
  (documented at the loop) and the 33 bounds checks were a fifth of the
  search's cycles.
- addedLinesMyers checks a fingerprint-bitmap lower bound on the edit
  distance for pairs of 2048 lines or more and hands pairs the bound
  already places beyond the budget to the greedy walk without searching;
  the search would have failed at the budget with the same result. On
  rails 47 such searches cost 395 ms.
- store.get skips the ARC probe for a pack-resident object while the
  offset cache is enabled: nothing adds such objects to the ARC, and the
  probe took the ARC's exclusive lock on every first read.

Tests pin the bound against brute-force edit distances and the refusal
of a hopeless search; emission checksums are unchanged.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
The reachable walk copied each commit's 72-byte record out of the
idx-ordered enumeration as it visited it, three cache misses per commit
on rails (28 ms for 119k commits). The walk now reads only the parent
CSR, the visited flags and the visit order, all int32 arrays that fit
the cache, and the result and parent positions are assembled afterwards
in parallel chunks. Rails walk 28 ms -> 8 ms; set and order unchanged.

commentlint: allow(JUDGE)
The whale prefetch admitted only blobs stored whole, and the dedup
pipeline's early forwarding of expensive pairs stops once 256 MiB of
forwarded results are undecided. On prometheus two 43 MB versions of a
committed test binary, each stored as a delta of the previous one, met
both gaps: not prefetched, not forwarded, and inflated for 160 ms and
106 ms while the decision stage waited on them. Whale candidates are now
sized through their delta chain (whaleSizeAt, which also serves the
pipeline's expensive-pair estimate) and loaded through the chain, so a
deltified whale inflates at scan start like a whole one. Prometheus
dedup scan 0.73 s -> 0.54 s (interleaved medians of 6); rails and
trufflehog unchanged. A test builds a repository whose repack stores one
of two whale versions as a delta and checks both are prefetched with
their bytes and type.

…edup state

Fixes from the review of this branch. Each bug has a test that fails
without its fix.

- loadCommitsAndGraph served the graph-derived branch whenever the
  cached commit list was nil, which a load over a repository with no
  refs leaves behind. A reused scanner then returned zero commits after
  the first commit landed. The cache now keys on tips and the shallow
  file, and the graph marks a completed load.
- walkCommitsFromRefsOrdered checked for an error only when a worker's
  private stack was empty, so visit kept running after it failed (12
  BlobScanner calls instead of 1 in blob-mode Scan). The ordered walk
  is now a single depth-first loop that stops at the first error, the
  form its production callers use.
- After the fingerprint set saturated, workers still skipped repeated
  pairs and the decision goroutine re-diffed each one serially. The
  decision stage now releases the first-seen table at saturation, so
  workers diff repeats in parallel. Repeats the decision stage re-diffs
  are charged to the retained budget. gitlab-foss dedup scan:
  130.5 s -> 38.6 s, same 18,264,461 hunks.
- The first-seen pair table grew with every distinct pair. It is now
  capped by the pair-cache budget (WithPairCacheBudget) at 128 bytes per
  entry, and it shards on both OIDs through the selector pairCache uses,
  which spreads file additions across all shards.
- The whale prefetch charged a deltified candidate its chain's largest
  header size, while a copy-heavy delta can build a far larger target.
  Delta candidates are now charged the target size their instruction
  stream declares.

Rails scans match in both pipelines (same hunk counts, times within
noise). go test ./... and go test -race pass.

lcsLen helper from diff_differential_test.go. Preserve the test’s current
assertion and behavior.

Review comments at @offset_cache_test.go:
- Line 263: Update the assertion message for s.newWhaleCacheWithBudget to say
that a budget below the target size rejects the delta, matching the expected nil
result.

Review comments at @offset_cache.go:
- Around line 613-625: Update the deltified-candidate admission logic to skip
candidates when s.maxDeltaObjectSize is positive and the candidate size exceeds
it, before charging the prefetch budget; preserve the existing budget check and
loader behavior.

Comment thread offset_cache.go Resolved
Skip deltified whale candidates whose declared target exceeds
maxDeltaObjectSize; the loader inflates under that limit, so admitting
them charged the prefetch budget for entries that could never
materialize. Pin with TestWhalePrefetchSkipsDeltaAboveObjectLimit.

Fix the inverted assertion message in TestWhalePrefetchChargesDeltaTarget
and drop lcsLength in favor of the identical lcsLen helper.

Comment thread store.go Resolved
74efedf kept every pack-resident object out of the ARC while the offset
cache was enabled. With WithOffsetCacheBudget below 128 MiB the per-shard
budget sits under maxCacheableSize, so the offset cache rejects objects
it still blocked from ARC promotion, and repeated reads re-inflated them
once the delta window evicted them. Promotion now skips only objects the
offset cache admits, and the ARC probe runs for packed objects unless the
cache admits every cacheable size, so the default configuration keeps
the lock-free fast path.

💡 Codex Review

go-gitpack/offset_cache.go

Lines 565 to 576 in 7ef9ed0

func (s *store) prefetchWhales() (wait func()) {
if !s.offCache.enabled() {
return func() {}
}
p := &s.whalePrefetch

P2 Badge Cap whale prefetch by the configured offset budget

When WithOffsetCacheBudget is set to any small positive value, enabled() still starts a whale cache with the fixed 256 MiB whalePrefetchBudget. On a repository containing enough qualifying multi-megabyte blobs, a scanner configured for (for example) a 1 MiB offset budget can therefore retain roughly 256 MiB of additional (pack, offset) object data for the duration of the scan, defeating the option's documented use for bounding aggregate memory. Pass the configured cache budget into whale admission, or disable/cap prefetch when that budget is smaller.
