-Roadmap
--------
-
-NOTE: this section will be removed once the remaining tasks outlined in this
-roadmap are complete.
-
-Scalar is a large enough project that it is being upstreamed incrementally,
-living in `contrib/` until it is feature-complete. So far, the following patch
-series have been accepted:
-
-- `scalar-the-beginning`: The initial patch series which sets up
- `contrib/scalar/` and populates it with a minimal `scalar` command that
- demonstrates the fundamental ideas.
-
-- `scalar-c-and-C`: The `scalar` command learns about two options that can be
- specified before the command, `-c <key>=<value>` and `-C <directory>`.
-
-- `scalar-diagnose`: The `scalar` command is taught the `diagnose` subcommand.
-
-- `scalar-generalize-diagnose`: Move the functionality of `scalar diagnose`
- into `git diagnose` and `git bugreport --diagnose`.
-
-- 'scalar-add-fsmonitor: Enable the built-in FSMonitor in Scalar
- enlistments. At the end of this series, Scalar should be feature-complete
- from the perspective of a user.
-
-Roughly speaking (and subject to change), the following series are needed to
-"finish" this initial version of Scalar:
-
-- Move Scalar to toplevel: Move Scalar out of `contrib/` and into the root of
- `git`. This includes a variety of related updates, including:
- - building & installing Scalar in the Git root-level 'make [install]'.
- - builing & testing Scalar as part of CI.
- - moving and expanding test coverage of Scalar (including perf tests).
- - implementing 'scalar help'/'git help scalar' to display scalar
- documentation.
-
-Finally, there are two additional patch series that exist in Microsoft's fork of
-Git, but there is no current plan to upstream them. There are some interesting
-ideas there, but the implementation is too specific to Azure Repos and/or VFS
-for Git to be of much help in general.
-
-These still exist mainly because the GVFS protocol is what Azure Repos has
-instead of partial clone, while Git is focused on improving partial clone:
-
-- `scalar-with-gvfs`: The primary purpose of this patch series is to support
- existing Scalar users whose repositories are hosted in Azure Repos (which does
- not support Git's partial clones, but supports its predecessor, the GVFS
- protocol, which is used by Scalar to emulate the partial clone).
-
- Since the GVFS protocol will never be supported by core Git, this patch series
- will remain in Microsoft's fork of Git.
-
-- `run-scalar-functional-tests`: The Scalar project developed a quite
- comprehensive set of integration tests (or, "Functional Tests"). They are the
- sole remaining part of the original C#-based Scalar project, and this patch
- adds a GitHub workflow that runs them all.
-
- Since the tests partially depend on features that are only provided in the
- `scalar-with-gvfs` patch series, this patch cannot be upstreamed.
