+NAME

+gitformat-commit-graph - Git commit-graph format
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+$GIT_DIR/objects/info/commit-graph
+$GIT_DIR/objects/info/commit-graphs/*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The Git commit-graph stores a list of commit OIDs and some associated
+metadata, including:
+
+- The generation number of the commit.
+
+- The root tree OID.
+
+- The commit date.
+
+- The parents of the commit, stored using positional references within
+  the graph file.
+
+- The Bloom filter of the commit carrying the paths that were changed between
+  the commit and its first parent, if requested.
+
+These positional references are stored as unsigned 32-bit integers
+corresponding to the array position within the list of commit OIDs. Due
+to some special constants we use to track parents, we can store at most
+(1 << 30) + (1 << 29) + (1 << 28) - 1 (around 1.8 billion) commits.
+
+== Commit-graph files have the following format:
+
+In order to allow extensions that add extra data to the graph, we organize
+the body into "chunks" and provide a binary lookup table at the beginning
+of the body. The header includes certain values, such as number of chunks
+and hash type.
+
+All multi-byte numbers are in network byte order.
+
+=== HEADER:
+
+  4-byte signature:
+      The signature is: {'C', 'G', 'P', 'H'}
+
+  1-byte version number:
+      Currently, the only valid version is 1.
+
+  1-byte Hash Version
+      We infer the hash length (H) from this value:
+	1 => SHA-1
+	2 => SHA-256
+      If the hash type does not match the repository's hash algorithm, the
+      commit-graph file should be ignored with a warning presented to the
+      user.
+
+  1-byte number (C) of "chunks"
+
+  1-byte number (B) of base commit-graphs
+      We infer the length (H*B) of the Base Graphs chunk
+      from this value.
+
+=== CHUNK LOOKUP:
+
+  (C + 1) * 12 bytes listing the table of contents for the chunks:
+      First 4 bytes describe the chunk id. Value 0 is a terminating label.
+      Other 8 bytes provide the byte-offset in current file for chunk to
+      start. (Chunks are ordered contiguously in the file, so you can infer
+      the length using the next chunk position if necessary.) Each chunk
+      ID appears at most once.
+
+  The CHUNK LOOKUP matches the table of contents from
+  the chunk-based file format, see linkgit:gitformat-chunk[5]
+
+  The remaining data in the body is described one chunk at a time, and
+  these chunks may be given in any order. Chunks are required unless
+  otherwise specified.
+
+=== CHUNK DATA:
+
+==== OID Fanout (ID: {'O', 'I', 'D', 'F'}) (256 * 4 bytes)
+      The ith entry, F[i], stores the number of OIDs with first
+      byte at most i. Thus F[255] stores the total
+      number of commits (N).
+
+====  OID Lookup (ID: {'O', 'I', 'D', 'L'}) (N * H bytes)
+      The OIDs for all commits in the graph, sorted in ascending order.
+
+====  Commit Data (ID: {'C', 'D', 'A', 'T' }) (N * (H + 16) bytes)
+    * The first H bytes are for the OID of the root tree.
+    * The next 8 bytes are for the positions of the first two parents
+      of the ith commit. Stores value 0x70000000 if no parent in that
+      position. If there are more than two parents, the second value
+      has its most-significant bit on and the other bits store an array
+      position into the Extra Edge List chunk.
+    * The next 8 bytes store the topological level (generation number v1)
+      of the commit and
+      the commit time in seconds since EPOCH. The generation number
+      uses the higher 30 bits of the first 4 bytes, while the commit
+      time uses the 32 bits of the second 4 bytes, along with the lowest
+      2 bits of the lowest byte, storing the 33rd and 34th bit of the
+      commit time.
+
+==== Generation Data (ID: {'G', 'D', 'A', '2' }) (N * 4 bytes) [Optional]
+    * This list of 4-byte values store corrected commit date offsets for the
+      commits, arranged in the same order as commit data chunk.
+    * If the corrected commit date offset cannot be stored within 31 bits,
+      the value has its most-significant bit on and the other bits store
+      the position of corrected commit date into the Generation Data Overflow
+      chunk.
+    * Generation Data chunk is present only when commit-graph file is written
+      by compatible versions of Git and in case of split commit-graph chains,
+      the topmost layer also has Generation Data chunk.
+
+==== Generation Data Overflow (ID: {'G', 'D', 'O', '2' }) [Optional]
+    * This list of 8-byte values stores the corrected commit date offsets
+      for commits with corrected commit date offsets that cannot be
+      stored within 31 bits.
+    * Generation Data Overflow chunk is present only when Generation Data
+      chunk is present and atleast one corrected commit date offset cannot
+      be stored within 31 bits.
+
+==== Extra Edge List (ID: {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}) [Optional]
+      This list of 4-byte values store the second through nth parents for
+      all octopus merges. The second parent value in the commit data stores
+      an array position within this list along with the most-significant bit
+      on. Starting at that array position, iterate through this list of commit
+      positions for the parents until reaching a value with the most-significant
+      bit on. The other bits correspond to the position of the last parent.
+
+==== Bloom Filter Index (ID: {'B', 'I', 'D', 'X'}) (N * 4 bytes) [Optional]
+    * The ith entry, BIDX[i], stores the number of bytes in all Bloom filters
+      from commit 0 to commit i (inclusive) in lexicographic order. The Bloom
+      filter for the i-th commit spans from BIDX[i-1] to BIDX[i] (plus header
+      length), where BIDX[-1] is 0.
+    * The BIDX chunk is ignored if the BDAT chunk is not present.
+
+==== Bloom Filter Data (ID: {'B', 'D', 'A', 'T'}) [Optional]
+    * It starts with header consisting of three unsigned 32-bit integers:
+      - Version of the hash algorithm being used. We currently only support
+	value 1 which corresponds to the 32-bit version of the murmur3 hash
+	implemented exactly as described in
+	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MurmurHash#Algorithm and the double
+	hashing technique using seed values 0x293ae76f and 0x7e646e2 as
+	described in https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30494-4_26 "Bloom Filters
+	in Probabilistic Verification"
+      - The number of times a path is hashed and hence the number of bit positions
+	      that cumulatively determine whether a file is present in the commit.
+      - The minimum number of bits 'b' per entry in the Bloom filter. If the filter
+	      contains 'n' entries, then the filter size is the minimum number of 64-bit
+	      words that contain n*b bits.
+    * The rest of the chunk is the concatenation of all the computed Bloom
+      filters for the commits in lexicographic order.
+    * Note: Commits with no changes or more than 512 changes have Bloom filters
+      of length one, with either all bits set to zero or one respectively.
+    * The BDAT chunk is present if and only if BIDX is present.
+
+==== Base Graphs List (ID: {'B', 'A', 'S', 'E'}) [Optional]
+      This list of H-byte hashes describe a set of B commit-graph files that
+      form a commit-graph chain. The graph position for the ith commit in this
+      file's OID Lookup chunk is equal to i plus the number of commits in all
+      base graphs.  If B is non-zero, this chunk must exist.
+
+=== TRAILER:
+
+	H-byte HASH-checksum of all of the above.
+
+== Historical Notes:
+
+The Generation Data (GDA2) and Generation Data Overflow (GDO2) chunks have
+the number '2' in their chunk IDs because a previous version of Git wrote
+possibly erroneous data in these chunks with the IDs "GDAT" and "GDOV". By
+changing the IDs, newer versions of Git will silently ignore those older
+chunks and write the new information without trusting the incorrect data.
