[PATCH v3 2/2] Mark 'git cat-file' sparse-index compatible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kevin Lyles <klyles+github@xxxxxxxx>

This change affects how 'git cat-file' works with the index when
specifying an object with the ":<path>" syntax (which will give file
contents from the index).

'git cat-file' will expand a sparse index to a full index when needed,
but is currently marked as needing a full index (or rather, not marked
as not needing a full index). This results in much slower 'git cat-file'
operations when working within the sparse index, since we expand the
index whether it's needed or not.

Mark 'git cat-file' as not needing a full index, so that you only pay
the cost of expanding the sparse index to a full index when you request
a file outside of the sparse index.

Add tests to ensure both that:
- 'git cat-file' returns the correct file contents whether or not the
  file is in the sparse index
- 'git cat-file' expands to the full index any time you request
  something outside of the sparse index
