2025-09-15sparse-checkout: add --verbose option to 'clean'Derrick Stolee1-2/+24
The 'git sparse-checkout clean' subcommand is focused on directories, deleting any tracked sparse directories to clean up the worktree and make the sparse index feature work optimally. However, this directory-focused approach can leave users wondering why those directories exist at all. In my experience, these files are left over due to ignore or exclude patterns, Windows file handles, or possibly merge conflict resolutions. Add a new '--verbose' option for users to see all the files that are being deleted (with '--force') or would be deleted (with '--dry-run'). Based on usage, users may request further context on this list of files for states such as tracked/untracked, unstaged/staged/conflicted, etc. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-12sparse-checkout: match some 'clean' behaviorDerrick Stolee1-1/+14
The 'git sparse-checkout clean' subcommand is somewhat similar to 'git clean' in that it will delete files that should not be in the worktree. The big difference is that it focuses on the directories that should not be in the worktree due to cone-mode sparse-checkout. It also does not discriminate in the kinds of files and focuses on deleting entire directories. However, there are some restrictions that would be good to bring over from 'git clean', specifically how it refuses to do anything without the '-f'/'--force' or '-n'/'--dry-run' arguments. The 'clean.requireForce' config can be set to 'false' to imply '--force'. Add this behavior to avoid accidental deletion of files that cannot be recovered from Git.

2025-09-12sparse-checkout: add basics of 'clean' commandDerrick Stolee1-1/+63
When users change their sparse-checkout definitions to add new directories and remove old ones, there may be a few reasons why directories no longer in scope remain (ignored or excluded files still exist, Windows handles are still open, etc.). When these files still exist, the sparse index feature notices that a tracked, but sparse, directory still exists on disk and thus the index expands. This causes a performance hit _and_ the advice printed isn't very helpful. Using 'git clean' isn't enough (generally '-dfx' may be needed) but also this may not be sufficient. Add a new subcommand to 'git sparse-checkout' that removes these tracked-but-sparse directories. The implementation details provide a clear definition of what is happening, but it is difficult to describe this without including the internal implementation details. The core operation converts the index to a sparse index (in memory if not already on disk) and then deletes any directories in the worktree that correspond with a sparse directory entry in that sparse index. In the most common case, this means that a file will be removed if it is contained within a directory that is both tracked and outside of the sparse-checkout definition. However, there can be exceptions depending on the current state of the index: * If the worktree has a modification to a tracked, sparse file, then that file's parent directories will be expanded instead of represented as sparse directories. Siblings of those parent directories may be considered sparse. * If the user staged a sparse file with "git add --sparse", then that file loses the SKIP_WORKTREE bit until the sparse-checkout is reapplied. Until then, that file's parent directories are not represented as sparse directory entries and thus will not be removed. Siblings of those parent directories may be considered sparse. (There may be other reasons why the SKIP_WORKTREE bit was removed for a file and this impact on the sparse directories will apply to those as well.) * If the user has a merge conflict outside of the sparse-checkout definition, then those conflict entries prevent the parent directories from being represented as sparse directory entries and thus are not removed. * The cases above present reasons why certain _file conditions_ will impact which _directories_ are considered sparse. The list of tracked directories that are outside of the sparse-checkout definition but not represented as a sparse directory further reduces the list of files that will be removed. For these complicated reasons, the documentation details a potential list of files that will be "considered for removal" instead of defining the list concretely. The special cases can be handled by resolving conflicts, committing staged changes, and running 'git sparse-checkout reapply' to update the SKIP_WORKTREE bits as expected by the sparse-checkout definition. It is important to make clear that this operation will remove ignored and excluded files which would normally be ignored even by 'git clean -f' unless the '-x' or '-X' option is provided. This is the most extreme method for doing this, but it works when the sparse-checkout is in cone mode and is expected to rescope based on directories, not files. The current implementation always deletes these sparse directories without warning. This is unacceptable for a released version, but those features will be added in changes coming immediately after this one. Note that this will not remove an untracked directory (or any of its contents) if its parent is a tracked directory within the sparse-checkout definition. This is required to prevent removing data created by tools that perform caching operations for editors or build tools. Thus, 'git sparse-checkout clean' is both more aggressive and more careful than 'git clean -fx': * It is more aggressive because it will remove _tracked_ files within the sparse directories. * It is less aggressive because it will leave _untracked_ files that are not contained in sparse directories. These special cases will be handled more explicitly in a future change that expands tests for the 'git sparse-checkout clean' command. We handle some of the modified, staged, and committed states including some impact on 'git status' after cleaning.

2025-09-12sparse-checkout: remove use of the_repositoryDerrick Stolee1-55/+62
The logic for the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin uses the_repository all over the place, despite some use of a repository struct in different method parameters. Complete this removal of the_repository by using 'repo' when possible. In one place, there was already a local variable 'r' that was set to the_repository, so move that to a method parameter. We cannot remove the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE declaration as we are still using global constants for the state of the sparse-checkout.

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite. Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-11-21builtin/sparse-checkout: fix leaking sanitized patternsPatrick Steinhardt1-22/+39
Both `git sparse-checkout add` and `git sparse-checkout set` accept a list of additional directories or patterns. These get massaged via calls to `sanitize_paths()`, which may end up modifying the passed-in array by updating its pointers to be prefixed paths. This allocates memory that we never free. Refactor the code to instead use a `struct strvec`, which makes it way easier for us to track the lifetime correctly. The couple of extra memory allocations likely do not matter as we only ever populate it with command line arguments.

2024-09-06sparse-checkout: use fdopen_lock_file() instead of xfdopen()Jeff King1-5/+4
When updating sparse patterns, we open a lock_file to write out the new data. The lock_file struct holds the file descriptor, but we call fdopen() to get a stdio handle to do the actual write. After we finish writing, we fflush() so that all of the data is on disk, and then call commit_lock_file() which closes the descriptor. But we never fclose() the stdio handle, leaking it. The obvious solution seems like it would be to just call fclose(). But when? If we do it before commit_lock_file(), then the lock_file code is left thinking it owns the now-closed file descriptor, and will do an extra close() on the descriptor. But if we do it before, we have the opposite problem: the lock_file code will close the descriptor, and fclose() will do the extra close(). We can handle this correctly by using fdopen_lock_file(). That leaves ownership of the stdio handle with the lock_file, which knows not to double-close it. We do have to adjust the code a bit: - we have to handle errors ourselves; we can just die(), since that's what xfdopen() would have done (and we can even provide a more specific error message). - we no longer need to call fflush(); committing the lock-file auto-closes it, which will now do the flush for us. As a bonus, this will actually check that the flush was successful before renaming the file into place. - we can get rid of the local "fd" variable, since we never look at it ourselves now Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Failing there would prevent us from writing a bogus file (good), but we would ignore the error and return a successful exit code (bad). Fix this by calling die(). Note that we need to keep the sparse_filename variable valid for longer, since the filename stored in the lock_file struct will be dropped when we run commit_lock_file().

2024-06-05sparse-checkout: free duplicate hashmap entriesJeff King1-1/+8
In insert_recursive_pattern(), we create a new pattern_entry to insert into the parent_hashmap. If we find that the same entry already exists in the hashmap, we skip adding the new one. But we forget to free the new one, creating a leak. We can fix it by cleaning up the discarded entry. It would probably be possible to avoid creating it in the first place, but it's non-trivial. We'd have to define a "keydata" struct that lets us compare the existing entries to the broken-out fields. It's probably not worth the complexity, so we'll punt on that for now. There is one subtlety here: our insertion is happening in a loop, with each iteration looking at the pattern we just inserted (hence the "recursive" in the name). So if we skip insertion, what do we look at? The obvious answer is that we should remember the existing duplicate we found and use that. But I _think_ in that case, we probably already have all of the recursive bits already (from when the original entry was added). And so just breaking out of the loop would be correct. But I'm not 100% sure on that; after all, the original leaky code could have done the same break, but it didn't. So I went with the "obvious answer" above, which has no chance of changing the behavior aside from fixing the leak. With this patch, t1091 can now be marked leak-free.

In sparse_checkout_list(), we create a pattern_list that needs to eventually be cleared. We remember to do so in the regular code path, but the cone-mode path does an early return, and forgets to clean up. We could fix the leak by adding a new call to clear_pattern_list(). But we can simplify even further by just skipping the early return, pushing the other code path (which consists now of only one line!) into an else block. That also matches the same cone/non-cone if/else used in some other functions. This fixes 15 leaks found in t1091.

2024-06-05sparse-checkout: refactor temporary sparse_checkout_patternsJeff King1-1/+8
In update_working_directory(), we take in a pattern_list, attach it to the repository index by assigning it to index->sparse_checkout_patterns, and then call unpack_trees. Afterwards, we remove it by setting index->sparse_checkout_patterns back to NULL. But there are two possible leaks here: 1. If the index already had a populated sparse_checkout_patterns, we've obliterated it. We can fix this by saving and restoring it, rather than always setting it back to NULL. 2. We may call the function with a NULL pattern_list, expecting it to use the on-disk sparse file. In that case, the index routines will lazy-load the sparse patterns automatically. But now at the end of the function when we restore the patterns, we'll leak those lazy-loaded ones! We can fix this by freeing the pattern list before overwriting its pointer whenever it does not match what was passed in (in practice this should only happen when the passed-in list is NULL, but this is erring on the defensive side). Together these remove 48 indirect leaks found in t1091. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-05sparse-checkout: always free "line" strbuf after reading inputJeff King1-0/+1
In add_patterns_from_input(), we may read lines from a file with a loop like this: while (!strbuf_getline(&line, file)) { ... strbuf_to_cone_pattern(&line, pl); } /* we don't strbuf_release(&line) here! */ This generally is OK because strbuf_to_cone_pattern() consumes the buffer via strbuf_detach(). But we can leak in a few cases: 1. We don't always consume the buffer! If the line ends up empty after trimming, we leave strbuf_to_cone_pattern() without detaching. In most cases this is OK, because a subsequent getline() call will use the same buffer. But if you had an empty line at the end of file, for example, it would leak. 2. Even if strbuf_to_cone_pattern() always consumed the buffer, there's a subtle issue with strbuf_getline(). As we saw in 94e2aa555e (strbuf: fix leak when `appendwholeline()` fails with EOF, 2024-05-27), it's possible for it to return EOF with an allocated buffer (e.g., if the underlying getdelim() call saw an error). So we should always strbuf_release() after finishing a read loop like this. Note that even the code to read patterns from argv has the same problem. Because that also uses strbuf_to_cone_pattern(), we stuff each argv entry into a strbuf. It uses the same "line" strbuf as the getline code, but we should position the strbuf_release() to cover both code paths. This fixes at least 9 leaks found in t1091.

2024-06-05sparse-checkout: reuse --stdin buffer when reading patternsJeff King1-5/+4
When we read patterns from --stdin, we loop on strbuf_getline(), and detach each line we read to pass into add_pattern(). This used to be necessary because add_pattern() required that the pattern strings remain valid while the pattern_list was in use. But it also created a leak, since we didn't record the detached buffers anywhere else. Now that add_pattern() has been modified to make its own copy of the strings, we can stop detaching and fix the leak. This fixes 4 leaks detected in t1091.

Fixing this reduces the number of leaks in t7002 from 9 down to 5. Note that there are two other exits from the function, but they don't need the same treatment: - if we can't resolve HEAD, we write out a hard-coded sparse file and return. But we know the pattern list is empty there, since we didn't find any in the on-disk file and we haven't yet added any of our own. - otherwise, we do populate the list and then tail-call into write_patterns_and_update().

2024-06-04sparse-checkout: pass string literals directly to add_pattern()Jeff King1-8/+3
The add_pattern() function takes a pattern string, but neither makes a copy of it nor takes ownership of the memory. So it is the caller's responsibility to make sure the string hangs around as long as the pattern_list which references it. There are a few cases in sparse-checkout where we use string literal patterns by stuffing them into a strbuf, detaching the buffer, and then passing the result into add_pattern(). This creates a leak when the pattern_list is eventually cleared, since we don't retain a copy of the detached buffer to free. But we can observe that the whole strbuf dance is unnecessary. The point was presumably[1] to satisfy the lifetime requirement of the string. But string literals have static duration; we can count on them lasting for the whole program. So we can fix the leak by just passing them directly. And as a bonus, that simplifies the code. The leaks can be seen in t7002, which drops from 25 leaks to 22 with this patch. It also makes t3602 and t1090 leak-free. In the long run, we will also want to clean up this (undocumented!) memory lifetime requirement of add_pattern(). But that can come in a later patch; passing the string literals directly will be the right thing either way.

2023-12-26sparse-checkout: be consistent with end of options markersElijah Newren1-6/+3
93851746 (parse-options: decouple "--end-of-options" and "--", 2023-12-06) updated the world order to make callers of parse-options that set PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT responsible for deciding what to do with "--end-of-options" they may see after parse_options() returns. This made a previous bug in sparse-checkout more visible; namely, that git sparse-checkout [add|set] --[no-]cone --end-of-options ... would simply treat "--end-of-options" as one of the paths to include in the sparse-checkout. But this was already problematic before; namely, git sparse-checkout [add|set| --[no-]cone --sikp-checks ... would not give an error on the mis-typed "--skip-checks" but instead simply treat "--sikp-checks" as a path or pattern to include in the sparse-checkout, which is highly unfriendly. This behavior began when the command was converted to parse-options in 7bffca95ea (sparse-checkout: add '--stdin' option to set subcommand, 2019-11-21). Back then it was just called KEEP_UNKNOWN. Later it was renamed to KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT in 99d86d60e5 (parse-options: PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN only applies to --options, 2022-08-19) to clarify that it was only about dashed options; we always keep non-option arguments. Looking at that original patch, both Peff and I think that the author was simply confused about the mis-named option, and really just wanted to keep the non-option arguments. We never should have used the flag all along (and the other cases were cargo-culted within the file). Remove the erroneous PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag now to fix this bug. Note that this does mean that anyone who might have been using git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] --foo --bar to request paths or patterns '--foo' and '--bar' will now have to use git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] -- --foo --bar That makes sparse-checkout more consistent with other git commands, provides users much friendlier error messages and behavior, and is consistent with the all-caps warning in git-sparse-checkout.txt that this command "is experimental...its behavior...will likely change". :-) Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-03-27builtin/sparse-checkout: add check-rules commandWilliam Sprent1-20/+111
There exists no direct way to interrogate git about which paths are matched by a given set of sparsity rules. It is possible to get this information from git, but it includes checking out the commit that contains the paths, applying the sparse checkout patterns and then using something like 'git ls-files -t' to check if the skip worktree bit is set. This works in some case, but there are cases where it is awkward or infeasible to generate a checkout for this purpose. Exposing the pattern matching of sparse checkout enables more tooling to be built and avoids a situation where tools that want to reason about sparse checkouts start containing parallel implementation of the rules. To accommodate this, add a 'check-rules' subcommand to the 'sparse-checkout' builtin along the lines of the 'git check-ignore' and 'git check-attr' commands. The new command accepts a list of paths on stdin and outputs just the ones the match the sparse checkout. To allow for use in a bare repository and to allow for interrogating about other patterns than the current ones, include a '--rules-file' option which allows the caller to explicitly pass sparse checkout rules in the format accepted by 'sparse-checkout set --stdin'. To allow for reuse of the handling of input patterns for the '--rules-file' flag, modify 'add_patterns_from_input()' to be able to read from a 'FILE' instead of just stdin. To allow for reuse of the logic which decides whether or not rules should be interpreted as cone-mode patterns, split that part out of 'update_modes()' such that can be called without modifying the config. An alternative could have been to create a new 'check-sparsity' command. However, placing it under 'sparse-checkout' allows for a) more easily re-using the sparse checkout pattern matching and cone/non-code mode handling, and b) keeps the documentation for the command next to the experimental warning and the cone-mode discussion.

Commit 2f6b1eb794 ("cache API: add a "INDEX_STATE_INIT" macro/function, add release_index()", 2023-01-12) mistakenly added some initialization of a member of unpack_trees_options that was intended to be internal-only. This initialization should be done within update_sparsity() instead.

At the time, the only way around that would have been to modify unpack_trees() to take an extra pattern_list argument, and there's a lot of callers of that function. However, when we split update_sparsity() off as a separate function, with sparse-checkout being the sole caller, the need to update other callers went away. Fix this API problem by adding a pattern_list argument to update_sparsity() and stop setting the internal o.pl field directly.

2023-01-17treewide: always have a valid "index_state.repo" memberÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
When the "repo" member was added to "the_index" in [1] the repo_read_index() was made to populate it, but the unpopulated "the_index" variable didn't get the same treatment. Let's do that in initialize_the_repository() when we set it up, and likewise for all of the current callers initialized an empty "struct index_state". This simplifies code that needs to deal with "the_index" or a custom "struct index_state", we no longer need to second-guess this part of the "index_state" deep in the stack. A recent example of such second-guessing is the "istate->repo ? istate->repo : the_repository" code in [2]. We can now simply use "istate->repo". We're doing this by making use of the INDEX_STATE_INIT() macro (and corresponding function) added in [3], which now have mandatory "repo" arguments. Because we now call index_state_init() in repository.c's initialize_the_repository() we don't need to handle the case where we have a "repo->index" whose "repo" member doesn't match the "repo" we're setting up, i.e. the "Complete the double-reference" code in repo_read_index() being altered here. That logic was originally added in [1], and was working around the lack of what we now have in initialize_the_repository(). For "fsmonitor-settings.c" we can remove the initialization of a NULL "r" argument to "the_repository". This was added back in [4], and was needed at the time for callers that would pass us the "r" from an "istate->repo". Before this change such a change to "fsmonitor-settings.c" would segfault all over the test suite (e.g. in t0002-gitfile.sh). This change has wider eventual implications for "fsmonitor-settings.c". The reason the other lazy loading behavior in it is required (starting with "if (!r->settings.fsmonitor) ..." is because of the previously passed "r" being "NULL". I have other local changes on top of this which move its configuration reading to "prepare_repo_settings()" in "repo-settings.c", as we could now start to rely on it being called for our "r". But let's leave all of that for now, and narrowly remove this particular part of the lazy-loading. 1. 1fd9ae517c4 (repository: add repo reference to index_state, 2021-01-23) 2. ee1f0c242ef (read-cache: add index.skipHash config option, 2023-01-06) 3. 2f6b1eb794e (cache API: add a "INDEX_STATE_INIT" macro/function, add release_index(), 2023-01-12) 4. 1e0ea5c4316 (fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific, 2022-03-25) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Acked-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Hopefully in some not so distant future, we'll get advantages from always initializing the "repo" member of the "struct index_state". To make that easier let's introduce an initialization macro & function. The various ad-hoc initialization of the structure can then be changed over to it, and we can remove the various "0" assignments in discard_index() in favor of calling index_state_init() at the end. While not strictly necessary, let's also change the CALLOC_ARRAY() of various "struct index_state *" to use an ALLOC_ARRAY() followed by index_state_init() instead. We're then adding the release_index() function and converting some callers (including some of these allocations) over to it if they either won't need to use their "struct index_state" again, or are just about to call index_state_init().

2022-08-25pass subcommand "prefix" arguments to parse_options()Jeff King1-4/+4
Recent commits such as bf0a6b65fc (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: let parse-options parse subcommands, 2022-08-19) converted a few functions to match our usual argc/argv/prefix conventions, but the prefix argument remains unused. However, there is a good use for it: they should pass it to their own parse_options() functions, where it may be used to adjust the value of any filename options. In all but one of these functions, there's no behavior change, since they don't use OPT_FILENAME. But this is an actual fix for one option, which you can see by modifying the test suite like so: diff --git a/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh b/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh index 4fe57414c1..d0974d4371 100755 --- a/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh +++ b/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh @@ -186,7 +186,11 @@ test_expect_success 'writing a bitmap with --refs-snapshot' ' # Then again, but with a refs snapshot which only sees # refs/tags/one. - git multi-pack-index write --bitmap --refs-snapshot=snapshot && + ( + mkdir subdir && + cd subdir && + git multi-pack-index write --bitmap --refs-snapshot=../snapshot + ) && test_path_is_file $midx && test_path_is_file $midx-$(midx_checksum $objdir).bitmap && I'd emphasize that this wasn't broken by bf0a6b65fc; it has been broken all along, because the sub-function never got to see the prefix. It is that commit which is actually enabling us to fix it (and which also brought attention to the problem because it triggers -Wunused-parameter!) The other functions changed here don't use OPT_FILENAME at all. In their cases this isn't fixing anything visible, but it's following the usual pattern and future-proofing them against somebody adding new options and being surprised. I didn't include a test for the one visible case above. We don't generally test routine parse-options behavior for individual options. The challenge here was finding the problem, and now that this has been done, it's not likely to regress. Likewise, we could apply the patch above to cover it "for free" but it makes reading the rest of the test unnecessarily complicated.

2022-05-23sparse-checkout: integrate with sparse indexDerrick Stolee1-0/+3
When modifying the sparse-checkout definition, the sparse-checkout builtin calls update_sparsity() to modify the SKIP_WORKTREE bits of all cache entries in the index. Before, we needed the index to be fully expanded in order to ensure we had the full list of files necessary that match the new patterns. Insert a call to reset_sparse_directories() that expands sparse directories that are within the new pattern list, but only far enough that every necessary file path now exists as a cache entry. The remaining logic within update_sparsity() will modify the SKIP_WORKTREE bits appropriately. This allows us to disable command_requires_full_index within the sparse-checkout builtin. Add tests that demonstrate that we are not expanding to a full index unnecessarily. We can see the improved performance in the p2000 test script: Test HEAD~1 HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000.24: git ... (sparse-v3) 2.14(1.55+0.58) 1.57(1.03+0.53) -26.6% 2000.25: git ... (sparse-v4) 2.20(1.62+0.57) 1.58(0.98+0.59) -28.2% These reductions of 26-28% are small compared to most examples, but the time is dominated by writing a new copy of the base repository to the worktree and then deleting it again. The fact that the previous index expansion was such a large portion of the time is telling how important it is to complete this sparse index integration.

2022-05-23sparse-index: introduce partially-sparse indexesDerrick Stolee1-1/+1
A future change will present a temporary, in-memory mode where the index can both contain sparse directory entries but also not be completely collapsed to the smallest possible sparse directories. This will be necessary for modifying the sparse-checkout definition while using a sparse index. For now, convert the single-bit member 'sparse_index' in 'struct index_state' to be a an 'enum sparse_index_mode' with three modes: * INDEX_EXPANDED (0): No sparse directories exist. This is always the case for repositories that do not use cone-mode sparse-checkout. * INDEX_COLLAPSED: Sparse directories may exist. Files outside the sparse-checkout cone are reduced to sparse directory entries whenever possible. * INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE: Sparse directories may exist. Some file entries outside the sparse-checkout cone may exist. Running convert_to_sparse() may further reduce those files to sparse directory entries. The main reason to store this extra information is to allow convert_to_sparse() to short-circuit when the index is already in INDEX_EXPANDED mode but to actually do the necessary work when in INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE mode. The INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE mode will be used in an upcoming change. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-03-04lockfile API users: simplify and don't leak "path"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+1
Fix a memory leak in code added in 6c622f9f0bb (commit-graph: write commit-graph chains, 2019-06-18). We needed to free the "lock_name" if we encounter errors, and the "graph_name" after we'd run unlink() on it. For the case of write_commit_graph_file() refactoring the code to free the "lock_name" after we were done using the "struct lock_file lk" would have made the control flow more complex. Luckily we can free the "lock_file" right after the hold_lock_file_for_update() call, if it makes use of "path" at all it'll have copied its contents to a "struct strbuf" of its own. While I'm at it let's fix code added in fb10ca5b543 (sparse-checkout: write using lockfile, 2019-11-21) in write_patterns_and_update() to avoid the same complexity that I thought I needed when I wrote the initial fix for write_commit_graph_file(). We can free the "sparse_filename" right after calling hold_lock_file_for_update(), we don't need to wait until we're exiting the function to do so.

2022-02-20sparse-checkout: reject arguments in cone-mode that look like patternsElijah Newren1-0/+11
In sparse-checkout add/set under cone mode, the arguments passed are supposed to be directories rather than gitignore-style patterns. However, given the amount of effort spent in the manual discussing patterns, it is easy for users to assume they need to pass patterns such as /foo/* or !/bar/*/ or perhaps they really do ignore the directory rule and specify a random gitignore-style pattern like *.c To help catch such mistakes, throw an error if any of the positional arguments: * starts with any of '/!' * contains any of '*?[]' Inform users they can pass --skip-checks if they have a directory that really does have such special characters in its name. (We exclude '\' because of sparse-checkout's special handling of backslashes; see the MINGW test in t1091.46.)

2022-02-20sparse-checkout: error or warn when given individual filesElijah Newren1-6/+36
The set and add subcommands accept multiple positional arguments. The meaning of these arguments differs slightly in the two modes: Cone mode only accepts directories. If given a file, it would previously treat it as a directory, causing not just the file itself to be included but all sibling files as well -- likely against users' expectations. Throw an error if the specified path is a file in the index. Provide a --skip-checks argument to allow users to override (e.g. for the case when the given path IS a directory on another branch). Non-cone mode accepts general gitignore patterns. There are many reasons to avoid this mode, but one possible reason to use it instead of cone mode: to be able to select individual files within a directory. However, if a file is passed to set/add in non-cone mode, you won't be selecting a single file, you'll be selecting a file with the same name in any directory. Thus users will likely want to prefix any paths they specify with a leading '/' character; warn users if the patterns they specify exactly name a file because it means they are likely missing such a leading slash.

2022-02-20sparse-checkout: pay attention to prefix for {set, add}Elijah Newren1-0/+26
In cone mode, non-option arguments to set & add are clearly paths, and as such, we should pay attention to prefix. In non-cone mode, it is not clear that folks intend to provide paths since the inputs are gitignore-style patterns. Paying attention to prefix would prevent folks from doing things like git sparse-checkout add /.gitattributes git sparse-checkout add '/toplevel-dir/*' In fact, the former will result in fatal: '/.gitattributes' is outside repository... while the later will result in fatal: Invalid path '/toplevel-dir': No such file or directory despite the fact that both are valid gitignore-style patterns that would select real files if added to the sparse-checkout file. This might lead people to just use the path without the leading slash, potentially resulting in them grabbing files with the same name throughout the directory hierarchy contrary to their expectations. See also [1] and [2]. Adding prefix seems to just be fraught with error; so for now simply throw an error in non-cone mode when sparse-checkout set/add are run from a subdirectory.

2022-02-20sparse-checkout: correctly set non-cone mode when expectedElijah Newren1-0/+1
commit f2e3a218e8 ("sparse-checkout: enable `set` to initialize sparse-checkout mode", 2021-12-14) made the `set` command able to initialize sparse-checkout mode, but it also had to function when sparse-checkout mode was already setup and the user just wanted to change the sparsity paths. So, if the user passed --cone or --no-cone, then we should override the current setting, but if they didn't pass either, we should use whatever the current cone mode setting is. Unfortunately, there was a small error in the logic in that it would not set the in-memory cone mode value (core_sparse_checkout_one) when --no-cone was specified, but since it did set the config setting on disk, any subsequent git invocation would correctly get non-cone mode. As such, the error did not previously matter. However, a subsequent commit will add some logic that depends on core_sparse_checkout_cone being set to the correct mode, so make sure it is set consistently with the config values we will be writing to disk.

2022-02-08sparse-checkout: set worktree-config correctlyDerrick Stolee1-15/+13
`git sparse-checkout set/init` enables worktree-specific configuration[*] by setting extensions.worktreeConfig=true, but neglects to perform the additional necessary bookkeeping of relocating `core.bare=true` and `core.worktree` from $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config to $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree, as documented in git-worktree.txt. As a result of this oversight, these settings, which are nonsensical for secondary worktrees, can cause Git commands to incorrectly consider a worktree bare (in the case of `core.bare`) or operate on the wrong worktree (in the case of `core.worktree`). Fix this problem by taking advantage of the recently-added init_worktree_config() which enables `extensions.worktreeConfig` and takes care of necessary bookkeeping. While at it, for backward-compatibility reasons, also stop upgrading the repository format to "1" since doing so is (unintentionally) not required to take advantage of `extensions.worktreeConfig`, as explained by 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15). [*] The main reason to use worktree-specific config for the sparse-checkout builtin was to avoid enabling sparse-checkout patterns in one and causing a loss of files in another. If a worktree does not have a sparse-checkout patterns file, then the sparse-checkout logic will not kick in on that worktree.

Change the behavior to fail with an error message about the existing patterns. Also, all cone mode patterns start with a '/' character, so add that restriction. This is necessary for our example test 'cone mode: warn on bad pattern', but also requires modifying the example sparse-checkout file we use to test the warnings related to recognizing cone mode patterns.

The previously suggested workflow: git sparse-checkout init ... git sparse-checkout set ...

That was poor performance and forced unnecessary rebuilds. 2) The two-step process resulted in two progress bars, which was suboptimal from a UI point of view for wrappers that invoked both of these commands but only exposed a single command to their end users. 3) With cone mode, the first step would delete nearly all ignored files everywhere, because everything was considered to be outside of the specified sparsity paths. (The user was not allowed to specify any sparsity paths in the `init` step.) Avoid these problems by teaching `set` to understand the extra parameters that `init` takes and performing any necessary initialization if not already in a sparse checkout.

2021-09-07sparse-checkout: clear tracked sparse dirsDerrick Stolee1-0/+94
When changing the scope of a sparse-checkout using cone mode, we might have some tracked directories go out of scope. The current logic removes the tracked files from within those directories, but leaves the ignored files within those directories. This is a bit unexpected to users who have given input to Git saying they don't need those directories anymore. This is something that is new to the cone mode pattern type: the user has explicitly said "I want these directories and _not_ those directories." The typical sparse-checkout patterns more generally apply to "I want files with with these patterns" so it is natural to leave ignored files as they are. This focus on directories in cone mode provides us an opportunity to change the behavior. Leaving these ignored files in the sparse directories makes it impossible to gain performance benefits in the sparse index. When we track into these directories, we need to know if the files are ignored or not, which might depend on the _tracked_ .gitignore file(s) within the sparse directory. This depends on the indexed version of the file, so the sparse directory must be expanded. We must take special care to look for untracked, non-ignored files in these directories before deleting them. We do not want to delete any meaningful work that the users were doing in those directories and perhaps forgot to add and commit before switching sparse-checkout definitions. Since those untracked files might be code files that generated ignored build output, also do not delete any ignored files from these directories in that case. The users can recover their state by resetting their sparse-checkout definition to include that directory and continue. Alternatively, they can see the warning that is presented and delete the directory themselves to regain the performance they expect. By deleting the sparse directories when changing scope (or running 'git sparse-checkout reapply') we regain these performance benefits as if the repository was in a clean state. Since these ignored files are frequently build output or helper files from IDEs, the users should not need the files now that the tracked files are removed. If the tracked files reappear, then they will have newer timestamps than the build artifacts, so the artifacts will need to be regenerated anyway. Use the sparse-index as a data structure in order to find the sparse directories that can be safely deleted. Re-expand the index to a full one if it was full before.

2020-06-05sparse-checkout: avoid staging deletions of all filesElijah Newren1-0/+4
sparse-checkout's purpose is to update the working tree to have it reflect a subset of the tracked files. As such, it shouldn't be switching branches, making commits, downloading or uploading data, or staging or unstaging changes. Other than updating the worktree, the only thing sparse-checkout should touch is the SKIP_WORKTREE bit of the index. In particular, this sets up a nice invariant: running sparse-checkout will never change the status of any file in `git status` (reflecting the fact that we only set the SKIP_WORKTREE bit if the file is safe to delete, i.e. if the file is unmodified). Traditionally, we did a _really_ bad job with this goal. The predecessor to sparse-checkout involved manual editing of .git/info/sparse-checkout and running `git read-tree -mu HEAD`. That command would stage and unstage changes and overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. The initial implementation of the sparse-checkout command was no better; it simply invoked `git read-tree -mu HEAD` as a subprocess and had the same caveats, though this issue came up repeatedly in review comments and workarounds for the problems were put in place before the feature was merged[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; especially see 4 & 6].

I'll get back to it later. In the 2.27.0 cycle, the disabling of the feature was lifted by finally replacing the internal equivalent of `git read-tree -mu HEAD` with something that did what we wanted: the new update_sparsity() function in unpack-trees.c that only ever updates SKIP_WORKTREE bits in the index and updates the working tree to match. This new function handles all the cases that were problematic for the old implementation, except that it breaks the same special case that avoided the workarounds of the old implementation, but broke it in a different way. So...that brings us to the special case: a git clone performed with --no-checkout. As per the meaning of the flag, --no-checkout does not check out any branch, with the implication that you aren't on one and need to switch to one after the clone. Implementationally, HEAD is still set (so in some sense you are partially on a branch), but * the index is "unborn" (non-existent) * there are no files in the working tree (other than .git/) * the next time git switch (or git checkout) is run it will run unpack_trees with `initial_checkout` flag set to true. It is not until you run, e.g. `git switch <somebranch>` that the index will be written and files in the working tree populated. With this special --no-checkout case, the traditional `read-tree -mu HEAD` behavior would have done the equivalent of acting like checkout -- switch to the default branch (HEAD), write out an index that matches HEAD, and update the working tree to match. This special case slipped through the avoid-making-changes checks in the original sparse-checkout command and thus continued there. After update_sparsity() was introduced and used (see commit f56f31af03 ("sparse-checkout: use new update_sparsity() function", 2020-03-27)), the behavior for the --no-checkout case changed: Due to git's auto-vivification of an empty in-memory index (see do_read_index() and note that `must_exist` is false), and due to sparse-checkout's update_working_directory() code to always write out the index after it was done, we got a new bug. That made it so that sparse-checkout would switch the repository from a clone with an "unborn" index (i.e. still needing an initial_checkout), to one that had a recorded index with no entries. Thus, instead of all the files appearing deleted in `git status` being known to git as a special artifact of not yet being on a branch, our recording of an empty index made it suddenly look to git as though it was definitely on a branch with ALL files staged for deletion! A subsequent checkout or switch then had to contend with the fact that it wasn't on an initial_checkout but had a bunch of staged deletions. Make sure that sparse-checkout changes nothing in the index other than the SKIP_WORKTREE bit; in particular, when the index is unborn we do not have any branch checked out so there is no sparsification or de-sparsification work to do. Simply return from update_working_directory() early. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-12-30sparse-checkout: list directories in cone modeDerrick Stolee1-0/+21
When core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled, the 'git sparse-checkout set' command takes a list of directories as input, then creates an ordered list of sparse-checkout patterns such that those directories are recursively included and all sibling entries along the parent directories are also included. Listing the patterns is less user-friendly than the directories themselves. In cone mode, and as long as the patterns match the expected cone-mode pattern types, change the output of 'git sparse-checkout list' to only show the directories that created the patterns. With this change, the following piped commands would not change the working directory: git sparse-checkout list | git sparse-checkout set --stdin The only time this would not work is if core.sparseCheckoutCone is true, but the sparse-checkout file contains patterns that do not match the expected pattern types for cone mode.

2019-12-13sparse-checkout: respect core.ignoreCase in cone modeDerrick Stolee1-2/+8
When a user uses the sparse-checkout feature in cone mode, they add patterns using "git sparse-checkout set <dir1> <dir2> ..." or by using "--stdin" to provide the directories line-by-line over stdin. This behaviour naturally looks a lot like the way a user would type "git add <dir1> <dir2> ..." If core.ignoreCase is enabled, then "git add" will match the input using a case-insensitive match. Do the same for the sparse-checkout feature. Perform case-insensitive checks while updating the skip-worktree bits during unpack_trees(). This is done by changing the hash algorithm and hashmap comparison methods to optionally use case- insensitive methods. When this is enabled, there is a small performance cost in the hashing algorithm. To tease out the worst possible case, the following was run on a repo with a deep directory structure: git ls-tree -d -r --name-only HEAD | git sparse-checkout set --stdin The 'set' command was timed with core.ignoreCase disabled or enabled. For the repo with a deep history, the numbers were core.ignoreCase=false: 62s core.ignoreCase=true: 74s (+19.3%) For reproducibility, the equivalent test on the Linux kernel repository had these numbers: core.ignoreCase=false: 3.1s core.ignoreCase=true: 3.6s (+16%) Now, this is not an entirely fair comparison, as most users will define their sparse cone using more shallow directories, and the performance improvement from eb42feca97 ("unpack-trees: hash less in cone mode" 2019-11-21) can remove most of the hash cost. For a more realistic test, drop the "-r" from the ls-tree command to store only the first-level directories. In that case, the Linux kernel repository takes 0.2-0.25s in each case, and the deep repository takes one second, plus or minus 0.05s, in each case. Thus, we _can_ demonstrate a cost to this change, but it is unlikely to matter to any reasonable sparse-checkout cone.

The sparse-checkout builtin used 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' to update the skip-worktree bits in the index and to update the working directory. This extra process is overly complex, and prone to failure. It also requires that we write our changes to the sparse-checkout file before trying to update the index. Remove this extra process call by creating a direct call to unpack_trees() in the same way 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' does. In addition, provide an in-memory list of patterns so we can avoid reading from the sparse-checkout file. This allows us to test a proposed change to the file before writing to it. An earlier version of this patch included a bug when the 'set' command failed due to the "Sparse checkout leaves no entry on working directory" error. It would not rollback the index.lock file, so the replay of the old sparse-checkout specification would fail. A test in t1091 now covers that scenario.

If a user provides folders A/ and A/B/ for inclusion in a cone-mode sparse-checkout file, the parsing logic will notice that A/ appears both as a "parent" type pattern and as a "recursive" type pattern. This is unexpected and hence will complain via a warning and revert to the old logic for checking sparse-checkout patterns. Prevent this from happening accidentally by sanitizing the folders for this type of inclusion in the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This happens in two ways: 1. Do not include any parent patterns that also appear as recursive patterns. 2. Do not include any recursive patterns deeper than other recursive patterns. In order to minimize duplicate code for scanning parents, create hashmap_contains_parent() method. It takes a strbuf buffer to avoid reallocating a buffer when calling in a tight loop.
