We immediately discovered a problem due to the isolated way in which we tested the sparse index: we were never building the project and changing our sparse-checkout definition. [1] https://github.com/microsoft/git/releases/tag/v2.32.0.vfs.0.102.exp Users who ran a build in one project and then moved to another still had build artifacts in their worktree that lived inside the old directories. Since the files are marked by the .gitignore patterns, these files were not removed by the 'git sparse-checkout set' command. However, they make the sparse-index unusable because every 'git status' command needs to expand the sparse-directory entries in order to see if the files are tracked or not. This made the first experimental release actually slower for all users because of this cost. The solution we shipped to these customers was to change the way our fork handles these ignored files. Specifically, instead of Git completely ignoring the files, we changed Git to understand that with cone-mode sparse-checkout patterns, the users is asking for entire directories to be removed from the worktree. The link [1] included earlier has this change. I believe that this is a reasonable expectation, though I recognize that it might look like breaking the expectations of how .gitignore files work. Since feedback demonstrated that this is a desired behavior, v2 includes this behavior for all "cone mode" repositories. I'm interested in the community's thoughts about this change, as it seems like one that we should make carefully and intentionally. While the rewrite of the t7519 test seems unrelated, it is required to avoid a test failure with this change that deletes files outside of the cone. By moving the test into repositories not at $TRASH_DIRECTORY, we gain more control over the repository structure. Updates in V5 ============= * Updated the locality of a cache_entry pointer. * Rephrased a comment. * Removed the patch adding a config option. * I tried, but failed, to create a scenario where the call to cache_tree_update() causes a test to fail. I still think this is valuable as defensive programming for the reasons mentioned in the patch, which is why I didn't remove them here. Updates in V4 ============= * Fixed an issue with the split index. * The helper methods are used more consistently. * The helper method path_in_cone_mode_sparse_checkout() is introduced. * Commit messages are edited for clarity. * A new config option is added to disable the behavior being added in this series. * I split the commit that involves cache_tree_update(). I have not yet succeeded in creating tests to demonstrate why this is required outside of needing it in the Scalar functional tests, which includes a version of partial clone. I will continue to investigate recreating this scenario in the Git test suite, but I wanted to send this version out to get feedback on the things that have changed. Update in V3 ============ * As promised [2], the helper methods are fixed to work with non-cone-mode patterns. A later series will use them to their fullest potential (changing git add, git rm, and git mv when interacting with sparse entries). [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/bac76c72-955d-1ade-4ecf-778ffc45f297@gmail.com/ Updates in V2 ============= * This version correctly leaves untracked files alone. If untracked files are found, then the directory is left as-is, in case those ignored files are important to the user's work resolving those untracked files. * This behavior is now enabled by core.sparseCheckoutCone=true. * To use a sparse index as an in-memory data structure even when index.sparse is disabled, a new patch is included to modify the prototype of convert_to_sparse() to include a flags parameter. * A few cleanup patches that I was collecting based on feedback from the experimental release and intending for my next series were necessary for this implementation. * Cleaned up the tests (no NEEDSWORK) and the remainders of a previous implementation that used run_subcommand().
