Hi This v2 addresses comments from Elijah's review comments. There's one thing worth highlighting. Elijah pointed out that the the "check-rules cone mode is default" test would be stronger if the test itself started with a 'git sparse-checkout set --no-cone' to explicitly test that the default interpretation of the rules passed with the '--rules-file' option is cone mode even though the current checkout is non-cone. I implemented this and it exposed that the option did not actually behave that way, and that the test only verified the default behaviour of a bare repository. I've modified the logic of the '--rules-file' option such that it defaults to cone mode unless combined with '--no-cone', and I've added a line to the documentation to make this more explicit. The alternative would be to have '--rules-file' assume non cone mode when in a non cone mode checkout, but I think this depends a bit on "how deprecated" non-cone mode is vs. how important it is to have the option behave consistently with 'sparse-checkout set' (which respects the current checkout). Changes since v1: * Explicitly state in documentation that '--rules-file' expects newline separated rules. * Explicitly state in documentation that '-z' does not affect the '--rules-file' input. * Fixup typo where 'When called with the --rules-file <file> flag' was missing "flag". * Fixup behaviour in 'check-rules --rules-file', such that it defaults to accepting cone mode patterns when in a non cone checkout. * Remember to release string buffers in 'check_rules()'. * Explicitly state in documentation that '--rules-file' defaults to cone mode unless combined with '--no-cone'. * Better test that the default of '--rules-file' is to expect '--cone-mode' by running 'check-rules' in a non-cone mode checkout.
