What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
git init
for dir in a b c; do mkdir $dir && seq 1 20 > $dir/file; done
git add -A && git commit -m'Some content'
git sparse-checkout set --sparse-index b
seq 1 20 > b/file-2
git add -N b/file-2
git add -p b/file-2
git status
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expected to be dropped into the interactive-add workflow / see my
changes in git-status.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
git-add reports 'No changes' and git-status reports nothing at all
(empty output).
The original internal report also was able reproduce messaging like
fatal: cache entry out of order
warning: die() called many times. Recursion error or racy threaded death!
fatal: cache entry out of order
fatal: cache entry out of order
fatal: cache entry out of order
though I've not been able to reproduce that myself. It seems relevant
/ worth noting that core.fsmonitor would be set to 'true' in that
repository.
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
git-status appears to silently crash in the error case.
Compare the broken workflow with any of the following variants (all of
which work as expected):
- don't use `--intent-to-add`:
git init
for dir in a b c; do mkdir $dir && seq 1 20 > $dir/file; done
git add -A && git commit -m'Some content'
git sparse-checkout set --sparse-index b
seq 1 20 > b/file-2
git add b/file-2
git status
- don't use `sparse-checkout` at all:
git init
for dir in a b c; do mkdir $dir && seq 1 20 > $dir/file; done
git add -A && git commit -m'Some content'
seq 1 20 > b/file-2
git add -N b/file-2
git add -p b/file-2
git status
- don't use `--sparse-index` specifically:
git init
for dir in a b c; do mkdir $dir && seq 1 20 > $dir/file; done
git add -A && git commit -m'Some content'
git sparse-checkout set b
seq 1 20 > b/file-2
git add -N b/file-2
git add -p b/file-2
git status
Anything else you want to add:
Seems very related to the use of sparse-index.
