In anticipation of adding "add" and "remove" subcommands to the
sparse-checkout builtin, extract a modify_pattern_list() method from the
sparse_checkout_set() method. This command will read input from the
command-line or stdin to construct a set of patterns, then modify the
existing sparse-checkout patterns after a successful update of the
working directory.
Currently, the only way to modify the patterns is to replace all of the
patterns. This will be extended in a later update.

The sparse-checkout patterns allow special globs according to
fnmatch(3). When writing cone-mode patterns for paths containing
these characters, they must be escaped.
Use is_glob_special() to check which characters must be escaped
this way, and add a path to the tests that contains all glob
characters at once. Note that ']' is not special, since the
initial bracket '[' is escaped.

If a user somehow creates a directory with an asterisk (*) or backslash
(\), then the "git sparse-checkout set" command will struggle to provide
the correct pattern in the sparse-checkout file. When not in cone mode,
the provided pattern is written directly into the sparse-checkout file.
However, in cone mode we expect a list of paths to directories and then
we convert those into patterns.
Even more specifically, the goal is to always allow the following from
the root of a repo:
git ls-tree --name-only -d HEAD | git sparse-checkout set --stdin
The ls-tree command provides directory names with an unescaped asterisk.
It also quotes the directories that contain an escaped backslash. We
must remove these quotes, then keep the escaped backslashes.
Use unquote_c_style() when parsing lines from stdin. Command-line
arguments will be parsed as-is, assuming the user can do the correct
level of escaping from their environment to match the exact directory
names.

The --sparse option was added to the clone builtin in d89f09c (clone:

in t1091-sparse-checkout-builtin.sh. However, due to a difference in

These errors are due to using a "-C <path>" option to call 'git -C

The 'git init' command creates the ".git/info" directory and fills it
with some default files. However, 'git worktree add' does not create
the info directory for that worktree. This causes a problem when running
"git sparse-checkout init" inside a worktree. While care was taken to
allow the sparse-checkout config to be specific to a worktree, this
initialization was untested.
Safely create the leading directories for the sparse-checkout file. This
is the safest thing to do even without worktrees, as a user could delete
their ".git/info" directory and expect Git to recover safely.

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.

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

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.

When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.
Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:
/*
!/*/
These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.
During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The

ref and update the working directory correctly.

When calling `git stash` while changes were staged for files that are
marked with the `skip-worktree` bit (e.g. files that are excluded in a
sparse checkout), the files are recorded as _deleted_ instead.
The reason is that `git stash` tries to construct the tree reflecting
the worktree essentially by copying the index to a temporary one and
then updating the files from the worktree. Crucially, it calls `git
diff-index` to update also those files that are in the HEAD but have
been unstaged in the index.
However, when the temporary index is updated via `git update-index --add
--remove`, skip-worktree entries mark the files as deleted by mistake.
Let's use the newly-introduced `--ignore-skip-worktree-entries` option
of `git update-index` to prevent exactly this from happening.
Note that the regression test case deliberately avoids replicating the
scenario described above and instead tries to recreate just the symptom.

fetch_if_missing is set to 0 too early - ".gitmodules" here should be

custom allocators (e.g. nedmalloc). This problem became obvious when we
tried to plug a memory leak by `free()`ing a data structure allocated by
PCRE2, triggering a segfault in Windows (where we use nedmalloc by

PCRE2 requires the use of a general context to override the allocator
and therefore, there is a lot more code needed than in PCRE1, including
a couple of wrapper functions.
Extend the grep API with a "destructor" that could be called to cleanup
any objects that were created and used globally.

should make sure to have matching `grep_init()`/`grep_destroy()` calls
if they are using the pattern matching functionality.
Move some of the logic that was before done per thread (in the workers)

its functions will be instructed to use the custom allocator as well as

The specification of promisor packfiles (in partial-clone.txt) states
that the .promisor files that accompany packfiles do not matter (just
like .keep files), so whenever a packfile is fetched from the promisor
remote, Git has been writing empty .promisor files. But these files
could contain more useful information.
So instead of writing empty files, write the refs fetched to these
files. This makes it easier to debug issues with partial clones, as we
can identify what refs (and their associated hashes) were fetched at the
time the packfile was downloaded, and if necessary, compare those hashes
against what the promisor remote reports now.
This is implemented by teaching fetch-pack to write its own non-empty
.promisor file whenever it knows the name of the pack's lockfile. This
covers the case wherein the user runs "git fetch" with an internal
protocol or HTTP protocol v2 (fetch_refs_via_pack() in transport.c sets
lock_pack) and with HTTP protocol v0/v1 (fetch_git() in remote-curl.c
passes "--lock-pack" to "fetch-pack").

This function was declared in commit.h but was implemented in
builtin/commit.c so was not part of libgit. Move it to libgit so we can
use it in the sequencer. This simplifies the implementation of
run_prepare_commit_msg_hook() and will be used in the next commit.

Before, when format-patch generated a cover letter, only the body would
be populated with a branch's description while the subject would be
populated with placeholder text. However, users may want to have the
subject of their cover letter automatically populated in the same way.
Teach format-patch to accept the `--cover-from-description` option and
corresponding `format.coverFromDescription` config, allowing users to
populate different parts of the cover letter (including the subject
now).
