[PATCH 14/27] sparse-checkout: toggle sparse index from builtin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The sparse index extension is used to signal that index writes should be
in sparse mode. This was only updated using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1.

Add a '--[no-]sparse-index' option to 'git sparse-checkout init' that
specifies if the sparse index should be used. It also updates the index
to use the correct format, either way. Add a warning in the
documentation that the use of a repository extension might reduce
compatibility with third-party tools. 'git sparse-checkout init' already
sets extension.worktreeConfig, which places most sparse-checkout users
outside of the scope of most third-party tools.

Update t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh to use this CLI instead of
GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1.

+Use the `--[no-]sparse-index` option to toggle the use of the sparse
+index format. This reduces the size of the index to be more closely
+aligned with your sparse-checkout definition. This can have significant
+performance advantages for commands such as `git status` or `git add`.
+This feature is still experimental. Some commands might be slower with
+a sparse index until they are properly integrated with the feature.
++
+**WARNING:** Using a sparse index requires modifying the index in a way
+that is not completely understood by other tools. Enabling sparse index
+enables the `extensions.spareseIndex` config value, which might cause
+other tools to stop working with your repository. If you have trouble with
+this compatibility, then run `git sparse-checkout sparse-index disable` to
+remove this config and rewrite your index to not be sparse.
