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 commit. 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 definition 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. Helped-by: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@xxxxxx> --- Some notes/questions about this one: - I guess having the additional sparse-checkout.o only for the restrict_to_sparse_paths() function is not very justifiable. Especially since builtin/grep.c is currently its only caller. But since Stolee is already moving some code out of the sparse-checkout builtin and into sparse-checkout.o [1], I thought it would be better to place this function here from the start, as it will likely be needed by other cmds when they start honoring sparse.restrictCmds. (Side note: I think I will also be able to use the populate_sparse_checkout_patterns() function added by Stolee in the same patchset [2], to avoid code duplication in the get_sparsity_patterns() function added in this patch). [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/0181a134bfb6986dc0e54ae624c478446a1324a9.1588857462.git.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/444a6b5f894f28e96f713e5caccba18e1ea3b3eb.1588857462.git.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ - With that said, the only reason we need restrict_to_sparse_paths() to begin with, is so that commands which recurse into submodules may respect the value set in each submodule for the sparse.restrictCmds config. This is already being done for grep, in this patch. But, should we do like this or should we use the value set at the superproject, for all submodules as well, when recursing (ignoring the value set on them)? - It's possible to also make read-tree respect the new setting/option, using --no-restrict-to-sparse-paths as a synonym for its --no-sparse-checkout option (with lower precedence). However, as this command can change the sparse checked out paths, I thought it kind of falls under a different category. Also, `git read-tree -mu --sparse-checkout` doesn't have the effect of *restricting* the command's behavior to the sparsity patterns, but of applying them to the working tree, right? So maybe it could be confusing to make this command honor the new setting. Does that make sense, or should we do it? - Finally, if we decide to make read-tree be affected by sparse.restrictCmds, there is also the case of whether the config should be honored for submodules or just propagate the superproject's value. I think the latter would be as simple as adding this line, before calling parse_options() in builtin/read-tree.c: opts.skip_sparse_checkout = !restrict_to_sparse_paths(the_repository); As for the former, I'm not very familiar with the code in unpack_trees(), so I'm not sure how complicated that would be.
