Provenance Index (releases and head revisions)
Precomputed tables of all revisions a content is in, and all origins a revision is in, indexed for reasonably efficient backward queries. Its current implementation is primarily a Parquet database, along with some external indexes for more efficient access. The swh-provenance Rust crate provides access to these indexes and a gRPC server to query the data remotely.All revisions that are not directly pointed by a snapshot or release (ie. not branch heads or tagged revisions) are omitted.
