sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns::
|
||
|
|
Typically with sparse checkouts, files not matching any
|
||
|
|
sparsity patterns are marked with a SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the
|
||
|
|
index and are missing from the working tree. Accordingly, Git
|
||
|
|
will ordinarily check whether files with the SKIP_WORKTREE bit
|
||
|
|
are in fact present in the working tree contrary to
|
||
|
|
expectations. If Git finds any, it marks those paths as
|
||
|
|
present by clearing the relevant SKIP_WORKTREE bits. This
|
||
|
|
option can be used to tell Git that such
|
||
|
|
present-despite-skipped files are expected and to stop
|
||
|
|
checking for them.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
The default is `false`, which allows Git to automatically recover
|
||
|
|
from the list of files in the index and working tree falling out of
|
||
|
|
sync.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
Set this to `true` if you are in a setup where some external factor
|
||
|
|
relieves Git of the responsibility for maintaining the consistency
|
||
|
|
between the presence of working tree files and sparsity patterns. For
|
||
|
|
example, if you have a Git-aware virtual file system that has a robust
|
||
|
|
mechanism for keeping the working tree and the sparsity patterns up to
|
||
|
|
date based on access patterns.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
Regardless of this setting, Git does not check for
|
||
|
|
present-despite-skipped files unless sparse checkout is enabled, so
|
||
|
|
this config option has no effect unless `core.sparseCheckout` is
|
||
|
|
`true`.
