Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] sparse-checkout: make set subsume init
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2021 20:20:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1151.v2.git.git.1638908410.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1151.git.git.1638648020.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
As described at [1], the split of init and set subcommands in
sparse-checkout causes multiple issues:
* Poor performance (deleting all tracked files, then later restoring many
and maybe even most of them)
* Poor UI (multiple progress bars in wrappers that hide both commands under
1 user-facing command)
* Loss of ignored files under directories the user wanted to keep
This series fixes this bug by providing a single command to switch to a
sparse-checkout: set. It does so by making set able to do the combined work
of init and set. It keeps init as-is to give folks time to adapt, but marks
it as deprecated. It also makes reapply able to toggle cone/non-cone mode
and sparse-index/non-sparse-index mode.
Changes since v1:
* Inserted new patches 3 & 4 as additional preparatory cleanups
* Took the new mode-toggling work code in sparse_checkout_set from the
previous series and moved it into a new function, as a preparatory patch,
and made it usable by init/set/reapply
* Also updated reapply to allow mode-toggling
* Updated the documentation as per above
* Various other small items from review comments
A quick overview:
* Patches 1-4: small preparatory refactorings
* Patch 5: patch adding new function for toggling {cone,sparse-checkout}
modes
* Patch 6: the crux of the series; make set able to handle both init and
set options
* Patch 7: make reapply also able to do mode toggling
* Patches 8-9: documentation modifications (Patch 4 is worth reviewing; it
marks init as deprecated -- are others okay with that?)
* Patch 10: trivial modification of git clone --sparse to use git
sparse-checkout set rather than git sparse-checkout init.
