Comparing to the full index case, 'git add -A' goes from > 0.37s to 0.05s, which is "only" an 86% improvement. Hehe. Yep, it's so "disappointing" to "only" have the code be 7x faster. :-) Out of curiosity, IIRC any operation involving the index took ~10s on some of the Microsoft repos. What does the speedup look like over there for these changes to git-add? > > Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > builtin/add.c | 3 +++ > t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh | 14 ++++++-------- > 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/builtin/add.c b/builtin/add.c > index b773b5a4993..c76e6ddd359 100644 > --- a/builtin/add.c > +++ b/builtin/add.c > @@ -528,6 +528,9 @@ int cmd_add(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > add_new_files = !take_worktree_changes && !refresh_only && !add_renormalize; > require_pathspec = !(take_worktree_changes || (0 < addremove_explicit)); > > + prepare_repo_settings(the_repository); > + the_repository->settings.command_requires_full_index = 0; > + > hold_locked_index(&lock_file, LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR); > > /* > diff --git a/t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh b/t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh > index a3c01d588d8..a11d9d7f35d 100755 > --- a/t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh > +++ b/t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh > @@ -340,13 +340,6 @@ test_expect_success 'status/add: outside sparse cone' ' > > test_sparse_match git status --porcelain=v2 && > > - # This "git add folder1/a" fails with a warning > - # in the sparse repos, differing from the full > - # repo.

Nothing in the commit message mentions this, and it's not clear to me the reason for it. I tried adding it back in at the end of the series and it still works (and further I can't change test_sparse_match to test_all_match and have the test work). > test_all_match git add . && > test_all_match git status --porcelain=v2 && > test_all_match git commit -m folder1/new && > @@ -635,7 +628,12 @@ test_expect_success 'sparse-index is not expanded' ' > git -C sparse-index reset --hard && > ensure_not_expanded checkout rename-out-to-out -- deep/deeper1 && > git -C sparse-index reset --hard && > - ensure_not_expanded restore -s rename-out-to-out -- deep/deeper1 > + ensure_not_expanded restore -s rename-out-to-out -- deep/deeper1 && > + > + echo >>sparse-index/README.md && > + ensure_not_expanded add -A && > + echo >>sparse-index/extra.txt && > + ensure_not_expanded add extra.txt ...and here's the extra test you mentioned in the commit message.
