[v5,8/8] config: add setting to ignore sparsity patterns in some cmds

Series grep: honor sparse checkout and add option to ignore it | expand

Commit Message

Matheus Tavares Sept. 2, 2020, 6:17 a.m. UTC
When sparse checkout is enabled, some users expect the output of certain
commands (such as grep, diff, and log) to be also restricted within the
sparsity patterns. This would allow them to effectively work only on the
subset of files in which they are interested; and allow some commands to
possibly perform better, by not considering uninteresting paths. For
this reason, we taught grep to honor the sparsity patterns, in the
previous patch. But, on the other hand, allowing grep and the other
commands mentioned to optionally ignore the patterns also make for some
interesting use cases. E.g. using grep to search for a function
documentation that resides outside the sparse checkout.

In any case, there is no current way for users to configure the behavior
they want for these commands. Aiming to provide this flexibility, let's
introduce the sparse.restrictCmds setting (and the analogous
--[no]-restrict-to-sparse-paths global option). The default value is
true. For now, grep is the only one affected by this setting, but the
goal is to have support for more commands, in the future.

+sparse.restrictCmds::
+	Only meaningful in conjunction with core.sparseCheckout. This option
+	extends sparse checkouts (which limit which paths are written to the
+	working tree), so that output and operations are also limited to the
+	sparsity paths where possible and implemented. The purpose of this
+	option is to (1) focus output for the user on the portion of the
+	repository that is of interest to them, and (2) enable potentially
+	dramatic performance improvements, especially in conjunction with
+	partial clones.
++
+When this option is true (default), some git commands may limit their behavior
+to the paths specified by the sparsity patterns, or to the intersection of
+those paths and any (like `*.c`) that the user might also specify on the
+command line. When false, the affected commands will work on full trees,
+ignoring the sparsity patterns. For now, only git-grep honors this setting.
++
+Note: commands which export, integrity check, or create history will always
+operate on full trees (e.g. fast-export, format-patch, fsck, commit, etc.),
+unaffected by any sparsity patterns. Also, writing commands such as
+sparse-checkout and read-tree will not be affected by this configuration.
