Hi Shaoxuan! 

I'll answer your question "are the tests on the right track?" [1] inline
with the tests here.

In 't1092', I've tried to write test cases around some of the
characteristics relevant to sparse checkout/sparse index. For example:

- files inside vs. outside of sparse cone (e.g., 'deep/a' vs 'folder1/a')
- "normal" directories vs. sparse directories (e.g., 'deep/' vs. 'folder1/')
- directories inside a sparse directory vs. "toplevel" sparse directories
  (e.g., 'folder1/0/' vs. 'folder1/')
- options that follow different code paths, especially if those code paths
  interact with the index differently (e.g., 'git reset --hard' vs 'git
  reset --mixed')
- (probably not relevant for 'git mv') files with vs. without staged changes
  in the index

I've found that exercising these characteristics provides good baseline
coverage for a sparse index integration, not leaving any major gaps. I'll
also typically add cases specific to any workarounds I need to add to a
command (like for 'git read-tree --prefix' [2]).

Also, if some of the information about the test repos (e.g., what's inside
vs. outside cone, or what's in the repos in the first place) isn't clear,
I'm happy to give a deeper dive into how they're set up.

With all of that in mind, let's go over the cases you have so far.

This is a good basis for "inside cone" to "inside cone" moves. That said, I
don't think you need all three (since they're all testing effectively the
same inside-to-inside cone move). I'd suggest instead adding cases like: 

	test_all_match git mv <inside cone> <outside cone> &&
	test_all_match git mv <outside cone> <inside cone> &&
	test_all_match git mv <outside cone> <outside cone> &&

to see how the sparse index behaves when files are moved in and out of
sparse directories. Similarly, you may want to try 'git mv <sparse
directory> <somewhere else>' to see if that triggers any unintended
behavior.

Additionally, I don't *think* 'git mv' prints out the state of the index, so
you'll probably want to follow these cases with:

	test_all_match git status --porcelain=v2 &&

which prints the status info in a machine-readable format.

Good! The '-f' option will allow one file to overwrite another in the index,
which is definitely interesting in a sparse index. Same as above, though,
you should verify 'git status --porcelain=v2'.

The '-k' option might be interesting in the context of the index, since it
pushes past errors that would normally make it exit early. However, if it
just skips things that fail rather than exiting with an error, it probably
isn't testing anything more than the 'git mv' cases.

Looking at 'builtin/mv.c', the '-v' "verbose" option only controls whether
some verbose printouts are emitted. This might be relevant if the printouts
were printing index information that didn't match between 'full-checkout',
'sparse-checkout' and 'sparse-index', but if you haven't seen that, I'd
leave these cases out.

This is a good variation on the standard "inside cone" to "inside cone", and
I'd like to see something similar done inside sparse directories. And,
similar to above, I don't think '-v' needs to be tested.

Overall, this is a great start! You've got a good pattern set up (it's very
clear to follow), I think it mainly needs some more variety to the test
cases. Also, if you find that this test gets way too large after adding more
cases, feel free to split it into multiple named tests if one gets too long
(e.g. "mv", "mv -f"). 

My recommendations:

- add tests covering outside-of-sparse-cone 'mv' arguments
- add tests covering 'mv' attempting to move directories (in-cone and
  sparse)
- add some "test_must_fail" tests to see what happens when you do something
  "wrong", e.g. to try to overwrite a file without '-f' (I've found some
  really interesting issues in the past where you expect something to fail
  and it doesn't)
- add 'git status --porcelain=v2' checks to confirm that the 'mv' worked the
  same across the different checkouts
- remove multiples of test cases that test the same general behavior (e.g.,
  'git mv <in-cone file> <in-cone file>' only needs to be done once)
- double-check whether '-v' and '-k' have the ability to affect
  full-checkout/sparse-checkout/sparse-index differently - if not, you
  probably don't need to test them

Thanks for working on this, and I hope this helps!
