Yeah, that is the most recent one I found. I didn't actually review it very carefully before, but I'll do so now (spoiler: a few nits, but it looks fine). > static struct ref *wanted_peer_refs(const struct ref *refs, > - struct refspec *refspec) > + struct refspec *refspec, unsigned int refspec_count) Most of the changes here and elsewhere are just about passing along multiple refspecs instead of a single, which makes sense. > @@ -856,7 +861,9 @@ int cmd_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > int submodule_progress; > > struct refspec *refspec; > - const char *fetch_pattern; > + unsigned int refspec_count = 1; > + const char **fetch_patterns; > + const struct string_list *config_fetch_patterns; This "1" seems funny to up here by itself, as it must be kept in sync with the later logic that feeds exactly one non-configured refspec into our list. The current code isn't wrong, but it would be nice to have it all together. I.e., replacing: > + if (config_fetch_patterns) > + refspec_count = 1 + config_fetch_patterns->nr; > + fetch_patterns = xcalloc(refspec_count, sizeof(*fetch_patterns)); > + fetch_patterns[0] = value.buf; with: refspec_count = 1; if (config_fetch_patterns) refspec_count += config_fetch_patterns->nr; ... Though if I'm bikeshedding, I'd probably have written the whole thing with an argv_array and avoided counting at all. > + refspec = parse_fetch_refspec(refspec_count, fetch_patterns); > > + strbuf_reset(&key); > strbuf_reset(&value); > > remote = remote_get(option_origin); I do also notice that right _after_ this parsing, we use remote_get(), which is supposed to give us this config anyway. Which makes me wonder if we could just reorder this to put remote_get() first, and then read the resulting refspecs from remote->fetch. > diff --git a/t/t5611-clone-config.sh b/t/t5611-clone-config.sh > index e4850b778c..3bed17783b 100755 > --- a/t/t5611-clone-config.sh > +++ b/t/t5611-clone-config.sh > @@ -37,6 +37,30 @@ test_expect_success 'clone -c config is available during clone' ' > test_cmp expect child/file > ' > > +test_expect_success 'clone -c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec> works' ' > + rm -rf child && > + git update-ref refs/grab/it refs/heads/master && > + git update-ref refs/keep/out refs/heads/master && > + git clone -c "remote.origin.fetch=+refs/grab/*:refs/grab/*" . child && > + ( > + cd child && > + git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/grab/ >../actual > + ) && > + echo refs/grab/it >expect && > + test_cmp expect actual > +' > + > +test_expect_success 'git -c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec> clone works' ' > + rm -rf child && > + git -c "remote.origin.fetch=+refs/grab/*:refs/grab/*" clone . child && > + ( > + cd child && > + git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/grab/ >../actual > + ) && > + echo refs/grab/it >expect && > + test_cmp expect actual > +' These look reasonable. Using "git -C for-each-ref" would save a subshell, but that's minor. If we wanted to be thorough, we could also check that the feature works correctly with "--origin" (I think it does). -Peff
