I didn't know about --boundary. But will it work correctly in this case? --- B ---- C ---- F / / --- D ---- E ---- G C and D will be current shallow cut points. People "want" F and G. "rev-list --boundary F G ^C ^D" would mark E as boundary/shallow too, correct? If so the history from G will be one depth short on a normal fetch. > + for (i = 0; i < want_obj.nr; i++) { > + struct object *o = want_obj.objects[i].item; > + argv_array_push(&av, oid_to_hex(&o->oid)); > } > + for (i = 0; i < shallows.nr; i++) { > + struct object *o = shallows.objects[i].item; > + argv_array_pushf(&av, "^%s", oid_to_hex(&o->oid)); > + } > + > + init_revisions(&revs, NULL); > + setup_revisions(av.argc, av.argv, &revs, NULL); > + if (prepare_revision_walk(&revs)) > + die("revision walk setup failed"); > + > + while ((c = get_revision(&revs))) { > + if (!(c->object.flags & BOUNDARY)) > + continue; > + register_shallow(c->object.oid.hash); > + packet_write(1, "shallow %s", > + oid_to_hex(&c->object.oid)); > + } > ... > _But_, the client is not prepared to handle this.

Perhaps a new extension to let the server know the client can handle spontaneous "deepen" commands and only activate new mode when the extension is present? > So what next?

But I'm also having a couple other topics at the moment, so it may not progress very fast. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
