[PATCH 07/10] add: allow operating on a sparse-only index

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

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Disable command_requires_full_index for 'git add'. This does not require
any additional removals of ensure_full_index(). The main reason is that
'git add' discovers changes based on the pathspec and the worktree
itself. These are then inserted into the index directly, and calls to
index_name_pos() or index_file_exists() already call expand_to_path() at
the appropriate time to support a sparse-index.

Add a test to check that 'git add -A' and 'git add <file>' does not
expand the index at all, as long as <file> is not within a sparse
directory. This does not help the global 'git add .' case.

We can measure the improvement using p2000-sparse-operations.sh with
these results:

Test                                  HEAD~1           HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.6: git add -A (full-index-v3)    1.35(1.00+0.20)  1.33(0.98+0.19) -1.5%
2000.7: git add -A (full-index-v4)    1.25(0.97+0.17)  1.23(0.96+0.16) -1.6%
2000.8: git add -A (sparse-index-v3)  2.38(2.28+0.13)  0.06(0.04+0.08) -97.5%
2000.9: git add -A (sparse-index-v4)  2.39(2.25+0.18)  0.06(0.04+0.07) -97.5%

While the 97% improvement seems impressive, it's important to recognize
that previously we had significant overhead for expanding the
sparse-index. Comparing to the full index case, 'git add -A' goes from
1.33s to 0.06s, which is "only" a 95% improvement.
