change against v3: * update a new commit message * update read_attr_from_index function * The order of the patches has been rearranged to better illustrate the problem and its solution. 1.t1092: add tests for git check-attr 2.attr.c: read attributes in a sparse directory 3.check-attr: integrate with sparse-index The new order of patches allows us to introduce a failing test case in the patch 1, which then hen back to "test_expect_success" in patch 2. This approach is designed to concretely show why reading attributes from a sparse directory is needed: without this functionality, the sparse index case doesn't work correctly for git check-attr. * Enhanced the comments in the code to provide more detail. Added explanations as to why 1) it matters whether 'pos' identifies a value that exists in the index or not, and 2) the rationale behind looking for the sparse directory containing the path * Add a test 'diff --check with pathspec outside sparse definition'. It starts by disabling the trailing whitespace and space-before-tab checks using the core.whitespace configuration option. Then, it specifically re-enables the trailing whitespace check for a file located in a sparse directory. This is accomplished by adding a whitespace=trailing-space rule to the .gitattributes file within that directory. To ensure that only the .gitattributes file in the index is being read, and not any .gitattributes files in the working tree, the test removes the .gitattributes file from the working tree after adding it to the index. The final part of the test uses 'git diff --check' to verify the correct application of the attribute rules. This ensures that the .gitattributes file is correctly read from index and applied, even when the file's path falls outside of the sparse-checkout definition. * fix whitespace error Shuqi Liang (3): t1092: add tests for 'git check-attr' attr.c: read attributes in a sparse directory check-attr: integrate with sparse-index attr.c | 60 +++++++++++++++------- builtin/check-attr.c | 3 ++ t/perf/p2000-sparse-operations.sh | 1 + t/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh | 63 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 109 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) Range-diff against v3: 1: 199cc90a5b < -: ---------- attr.c: read attributes in a sparse directory 2: eefce85083 ! 1: 9c43eea9cc t1092: add tests for `git check-attr` @@ Metadata Author: Shuqi Liang <cheskaqiqi@xxxxxxxxx> ## Commit message ## - t1092: add tests for `git check-attr` + t1092: add tests for 'git check-attr' - Add smudge/clean filters in .gitattributes files inside the affected - sparse directories in test 'merge with conflict outside cone', make sure - it behaves as expected when path is outside of sparse-checkout. + Add tests for `git check-attr`, make sure attribute file does get read + from index when path is either inside or outside of sparse-checkout + definition. - Add tests for `git check-attr`, make sure it behaves as expected when - path is both inside or outside of sparse-checkout definition. + Add a test named 'diff --check with pathspec outside sparse definition'. + It starts by disabling the trailing whitespace and space-before-tab + checks using the core.whitespace configuration option.
