+# Scalar - an opinionated repository management tool
+
+Scalar is an add-on to Git that helps users take advantage of advanced
+performance features in Git. Originally implemented in C# using .NET Core,
+based on the learnings from the VFS for Git project, most of the techniques
+developed by the Scalar project have been integrated into core Git already:
+
+* partial clone,
+* commit graphs,
+* multi-pack index,
+* sparse checkout (cone mode),
+* scheduled background maintenance,
+* etc
+
+This directory contains the remaining parts of Scalar that are not (yet) in
+core Git.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+The idea is to populate this directory via incremental patch series and
+eventually move to a top-level directory next to `gitk-git/` and to `git-gui/`. The
+current plan involves the following patch series:
+
+- `scalar-the-beginning`: The initial patch series which sets up
+  `contrib/scalar/` and populates it with a minimal `scalar` command that
+  demonstrates the fundamental ideas.
+
+- `scalar-c-and-C`: The `scalar` command learns about two options that can be
+  specified before the command, `-c <key>=<value>` and `-C <directory>`.
+
+- `scalar-diagnose`: The `scalar` command is taught the `diagnose` subcommand.
+
+- `scalar-and-builtin-fsmonitor`: The built-in FSMonitor is enabled in `scalar
+  register` and in `scalar clone`, for an enormous performance boost when
+  working in large worktrees. This patch series necessarily depends on Jeff
+  Hostetler's FSMonitor patch series to be integrated into Git.
+
+- `scalar-gentler-config-locking`: Scalar enlistments are registered in the
+  user's Git config. This usually does not represent any problem because it is
+  rare for a user to register an enlistment. However, in Scalar's functional
+  tests, Scalar enlistments are created galore, and in parallel, which can lead
+  to lock contention. This patch series works around that problem by re-trying
+  to lock the config file in a gentle fashion.
+
+- `scalar-extra-docs`: Add some extensive documentation that has been written
+  in the original Scalar project (all subject to discussion, of course).
+
+- `optionally-install-scalar`: Now that Scalar is feature (and documentation)
+  complete and is verified in CI builds, let's offer to install it.
+
+- `move-scalar-to-toplevel`: Now that Scalar is complete, let's move it next to
+  `gitk-git/` and to `git-gui/`, making it a top-level command.
+
+The following two patch series exist in Microsoft's fork of Git and are
+publicly available. There is no current plan to upstream them, not because I
+want to withhold these patches, but because I don't think the Git community is
+interested in these patches.
+
+There are some interesting ideas there, but the implementation is too specific
+to Azure Repos and/or VFS for Git to be of much help in general (and also: my
+colleagues tried to upstream some patches already and the enthusiasm for
+integrating things related to Azure Repos and VFS for Git can be summarized in
+very, very few words).
+
+These still exist mainly because the GVFS protocol is what Azure Repos has
+instead of partial clone, while Git is focused on improving partial clone:
+
+- `scalar-with-gvfs`: The primary purpose of this patch series is to support
+  existing Scalar users whose repositories are hosted in Azure Repos (which
+  does not support Git's partial clones, but supports its predecessor, the GVFS
+  protocol, which is used by Scalar to emulate the partial clone).
+
+  Since the GVFS protocol will never be supported by core Git, this patch
+  series will remain in Microsoft's fork of Git.
+
+- `run-scalar-functional-tests`: The Scalar project developed a quite
+  comprehensive set of integration tests (or, "Functional Tests"). They are the
+  sole remaining part of the original C#-based Scalar project, and this patch
+  adds a GitHub workflow that runs them all.
+
+  Since the tests partially depend on features that are only provided in the
+  `scalar-with-gvfs` patch series, this patch cannot be upstreamed.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Scalar is an opinionated repository management tool. By creating new
+repositories or registering existing repositories with Scalar, your Git
+experience will speed up. Scalar sets advanced Git config settings,
+maintains your repositories in the background, and helps reduce data sent
+across the network.
+
+An important Scalar concept is the enlistment: this is the top-level directory
+of the project. It usually contains the subdirectory `src/` which is a Git
+worktree. This encourages the separation between tracked files (inside `src/`)
+and untracked files, such as build artifacts (outside `src/`). When registering
+an existing Git worktree with Scalar whose name is not `src`, the enlistment
+will be identical to the worktree.
+
+The `scalar` command implements various subcommands, and different options
+depending on the subcommand. With the exception of `clone`, `list` and
+`reconfigure --all`, all subcommands expect to be run in an enlistment.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+Clone
+~~~~~
+
+clone [<options>] <url> [<enlistment>]::
+	Clones the specified repository, similar to linkgit:git-clone[1]. By
+	default, only commit and tree objects are cloned. Once finished, the
+	worktree is located at `<enlistment>/src`.
++
+The sparse-checkout feature is enabled (except when run with `--full-clone`)
+and the only files present are those in the top-level directory. Use
+`git sparse-checkout set` to expand the set of directories you want to see,
+or `git sparse-checkout disable` to expand to all files (see
+linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more details). You can explore the
+subdirectories outside your sparse-checkout by using `git ls-tree
+HEAD[:<directory>]`.
+
+-b <name>::
+--branch <name>::
+	Instead of checking out the branch pointed to by the cloned
+	repository's HEAD, check out the `<name>` branch instead.
+
+--[no-]single-branch::
+	Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch, either
+	specified by the `--branch` option or the primary branch remote's
+	`HEAD` points at.
++
+Further fetches into the resulting repository will only update the
+remote-tracking branch for the branch this option was used for the initial
+cloning. If the HEAD at the remote did not point at any branch when
+`--single-branch` clone was made, no remote-tracking branch is created.
+
+--[no-]full-clone::
+	A sparse-checkout is initialized by default. This behavior can be
+	turned off via `--full-clone`.
+
+List
+~~~~
+
+list::
+	List enlistments that are currently registered by Scalar. This
+	subcommand does not need to be run inside an enlistment.
+
+Register
+~~~~~~~~
+
+register [<enlistment>]::
+	Adds the enlistment's repository to the list of registered repositories
+	and starts background maintenance. If `<enlistment>` is not provided,
+	then the enlistment associated with the current working directory is
+	registered.
++
+Note: when this subcommand is called in a worktree that is called `src/`, its
+parent directory is considered to be the Scalar enlistment. If the worktree is
+_not_ called `src/`, it itself will be considered to be the Scalar enlistment.
+
+Unregister
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+unregister [<enlistment>]::
+	Remove the specified repository from the list of repositories
+	registered with Scalar and stop the scheduled background maintenance.
+
+Run
+~~~
+
+scalar run ( all | config | commit-graph | fetch | loose-objects | pack-files ) [<enlistment>]::
+	Run the given maintenance task (or all tasks, if `all` was specified).
+	Except for `all` and `config`, this subcommand simply hands off to
+	linkgit:git-maintenance[1] (mapping `fetch` to `prefetch` and
+	`pack-files` to `incremental-repack`).
++
+These tasks are run automatically as part of the scheduled maintenance,
+as soon as the repository is registered with Scalar. It should therefore
+not be necessary to run this subcommand manually.
++
+The `config` task is specific to Scalar and configures all those
+opinionated default settings that make Git work more efficiently with
+large repositories. As this task is run as part of `scalar clone`
+automatically, explicit invocations of this task are rarely needed.
+
+Reconfigure
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After a Scalar upgrade, or when the configuration of a Scalar enlistment
+was somehow corrupted or changed by mistake, this subcommand allows to
+reconfigure the enlistment.
+
+With the `--all` option, all enlistments currently registered with Scalar
+will be reconfigured. Use this option after each Scalar upgrade.
+
+Delete
+~~~~~~
+
+delete <enlistment>::
+	This subcommand lets you delete an existing Scalar enlistment from your
+	local file system, unregistering the repository.
