Subject: [PATCH 1/7] sparse-index: prevent repo root from becoming sparse
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 18:25:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <90da1f9f33a1383ba199f9b11e9890bc67e56edf.1645640717.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1157.git.1645640717.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>
Prevent the repository root from being collapsed into a sparse directory by
treating an empty path as "inside the sparse-checkout". When collapsing a
sparse index (e.g. in 'git sparse-checkout reapply'), the root directory
typically could not become a sparse directory due to the presence of in-cone
root-level files and directories. However, if no such in-cone files or
directories were present, there was no explicit check signaling that the
"repository root path" (an empty string, in the case of
'convert_to_sparse(...)') was in-cone, and a sparse directory index entry
would be created from the repository root directory.
The documentation in Documentation/git-sparse-checkout.txt explicitly states
that the files in the root directory are expected to be in-cone for a
cone-mode sparse-checkout. Collapsing the root into a sparse directory entry
violates that assumption, as sparse directory entries are expected to be
outside the sparse cone and have SKIP_WORKTREE enabled. This invalid state
in turn causes issues with commands that interact with the index, e.g.
'git status'.
Treating an empty (root) path as in-cone prevents the creation of a root
sparse directory in 'convert_to_sparse(...)'. Because the repository root is
otherwise never compared with sparse patterns (in both cone-mode and
non-cone sparse-checkouts), the new check does not cause additional changes
to how sparse patterns are applied.
