Some users of the index API have a specific path they are looking for,
but choose to use index_file_exists() to rely on the name-hash hashtable
instead of doing binary search with index_name_pos(). These users only
need to know a yes/no answer, not a position within the cache array.
When the index is sparse, the name-hash hash table does not contain the
full list of paths within sparse directories. It _does_ contain the
directory names for the sparse-directory entries.
Create a helper function, expand_to_path(), for intended use with the
name-hash hashtable functions. The integration with name-hash.c will
follow in a later change.
The solution here is to use ensure_full_index() when we determine that
the requested path is within a sparse directory entry. This will
populate the name-hash hashtable as the index is recomputed from
scratch.
There may be cases where the caller is trying to find an untracked path
that is not in the index but also is not within a sparse directory
entry. We want to minimize the overhead for these requests. If we used
index_name_pos() to find the insertion order of the path, then we could
determine from that position if a sparse-directory exists. (In fact,
just calling index_name_pos() in that case would lead to expanding the
index to a full index.) However, this takes O(log N) time where N is the
number of cache entries.
To keep the performance of this call based mostly on the input string,
use index_file_exists() to look for the ancestors of the path. Using the
heuristic that a sparse directory is likely to have a small number of
parent directories, we start from the bottom and build up. Use a string
buffer to allow mutating the path name to terminate after each slash for
each hashset test.

Sparse directory entries represent a directory that is outside the
sparse-checkout definition. These are not paths to blobs, so should not
be added to the name_hash table. Instead, they should be added to the
directory hashtable when 'ignore_case' is true.
Add a condition to avoid placing sparse directories into the name_hash
hashtable. This avoids filling the table with extra entries that will
never be queried.

Before iterating over all index entries, ensure that a sparse index is
expanded to a full index to avoid unexpected behavior. This case could
be integrated later by ensuring that we walk the tree in the
sparse-directory entry, but the current behavior is only expecting
blobs. Save this integration for later when it can be properly tested.

Callers to index_name_pos() or index_name_stage_pos() have a specific
path in mind. If that happens to be a path with an ancestor being a
sparse-directory entry, it can lead to unexpected results.
In the case that we did not find the requested path, check to see if the
position _before_ the inserted position is a sparse directory entry that
matches the initial segment of the input path (including the directory
separator at the end of the directory name). If so, then expand the
index to be a full index and search again. This expansion will only
happen once per index read.
Future enhancements could be more careful to expand only the necessary
sparse directory entry, but then we would have a special "not fully
sparse, but also not fully expanded" mode that could affect writing the
index to file. Since this only occurs if a specific file is requested
outside of the sparse checkout definition, this is unlikely to be a
common situation.

Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer

not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the

Edit and expand the sparse-index design document with the plan for
guarding index operations with ensure_full_index().
Notably, the plan has changed to not have an expand_to_path() method in
favor of checking for a sparse-directory hit inside of the
index_path_pos() API.
The changes that follow this one will incrementally add
ensure_full_index() guards to iterations over all cache entries. Some
iterations over the cache entries are not protected due to a few
categories listed in the document. Since these are not being modified,
here is a short list of the files and methods that will not receive
these guards:
Looking for non-zero stage:
* builtin/add.c:chmod_pathspec()
* builtin/merge.c:count_unmerged_entries()
* merge-ort.c:record_conflicted_index_entries()
* read-cache.c:unmerged_index()
* rerere.c:check_one_conflict(), find_conflict(), rerere_remaining()
* revision.c:prepare_show_merge()
* sequencer.c:append_conflicts_hint()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_collect_changes_initial()
Looking for submodules:
* builtin/submodule--helper.c:module_list_compute()
* submodule.c: several methods
* worktree.c:validate_no_submodules()
Part of the index API:
* name-hash.c: lazy init methods
* preload-index.c:preload_thread(), preload_index()
* read-cache.c: file format methods
Checking for correct order of cache entries:
* read-cache.c:check_ce_order()

p2000-sparse-operations.sh compares different Git commands in
repositories with many files at HEAD but using sparse-checkout to focus
on a small portion of those files.
Add extra copies of the repository that use the sparse-index format so
we can track how that affects the performance of different commands.
At this point in time, the sparse-index is 100% overhead from the CPU
front, and this is measurable in these tests:

Note that there is very little difference between the v3 and v4 index
formats when the sparse-index is enabled. This is primarily due to the
fact that the relative file sizes are the same, and the command time is
mostly taken up by parsing tree objects to expand the sparse index into
a full one.
With the current file layout, the index file sizes are given by this
table:
| full index | sparse index |
+-------------+--------------+
v3 | 108 MiB | 1.6 MiB |
v4 | 80 MiB | 1.2 MiB |
Future updates will improve the performance of Git commands when the
index is sparse.

The cache_tree_verify() method is run when GIT_TEST_CHECK_CACHE_TREE
is enabled, which it is by default in the test suite. The logic must
be adjusted for the presence of these directory entries.
For now, leave the test as a simple check for whether the directory
entry is sparse. Do not go any further until needed.
This allows us to re-enable GIT_TEST_CHECK_CACHE_TREE in
t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh. Further,
p2000-sparse-operations.sh uses the test suite and hence this is enabled
for all tests. We need to integrate with it before we run our

The cache-tree extension was previously disabled with sparse indexes.
However, the cache-tree is an important performance feature for commands
like 'git status' and 'git add'. Integrate it with sparse directory
entries.
When writing a sparse index, completely clear and recalculate the cache
tree. By starting from scratch, the only integration necessary is to
check if we hit a sparse directory entry and create a leaf of the
cache-tree that has an entry_count of one and no subtrees.

We use 'git sparse-checkout init --cone --sparse-index' to toggle the
sparse-index feature. It makes sense to also disable it when running
'git sparse-checkout disable'. This is particularly important because it
removes the extensions.sparseIndex config option, allowing other tools
to use this Git repository again.
This does mean that 'git sparse-checkout init' will not re-enable the
sparse-index feature, even if it was previously enabled.
While testing this feature, I noticed that the sparse-index was not
being written on the first run, but by a second. This was caught by the
call to 'test-tool read-cache --table'. This requires adjusting some
assignments to core_apply_sparse_checkout and pl.use_cone_patterns in
the sparse_checkout_init() logic.

The sparse index extension is used to signal that index writes should be

Add a '--[no-]sparse-index' option to 'git sparse-checkout init' that
specifies if the sparse index should be used. It also updates the index
to use the correct format, either way. Add a warning in the

compatibility with third-party tools. 'git sparse-checkout init' already
sets extension.worktreeConfig, which places most sparse-checkout users
outside of the scope of most third-party tools.

The index_pos_by_traverse_info() currently throws a BUG() when a

is possible to have a directory in a sparse index as long as that entry

The 'pos' variable is assigned a negative value if an exact match is not
found. Since a directory name can be an exact match, it is no longer an

If we have a full index, then we can convert it to a sparse index by
replacing directories outside of the sparse cone with sparse directory
entries. The convert_to_sparse() method does this, when the situation is
appropriate.
For now, we avoid converting the index to a sparse index if:
1. the index is split.
2. the index is already sparse.
3. sparse-checkout is disabled.
4. sparse-checkout does not use cone mode.
Finally, we currently limit the conversion to when the
GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX environment variable is enabled. A mode using Git
config will be added in a later change.
The trickiest thing about this conversion is that we might not be able
to mark a directory as a sparse directory just because it is outside the
sparse cone. There might be unmerged files within that directory, so we
need to look for those. Also, if there is some strange reason why a file
is not marked with CE_SKIP_WORKTREE, then we should give up on
converting that directory. There is still hope that some of its
subdirectories might be able to convert to sparse, so we keep looking
deeper.
The conversion process is assisted by the cache-tree extension. This is
calculated from the full index if it does not already exist. We then
abandon the cache-tree as it no longer applies to the newly-sparse
index. Thus, this cache-tree will be recalculated in every
sparse-full-sparse round-trip until we integrate the cache-tree
extension with the sparse index.
Some Git commands use the index after writing it. For example, 'git add'
will update the index, then write it to disk, then read its entries to
report information. To keep the in-memory index in a full state after
writing, we re-expand it to a full one after the write. This is wasteful
for commands that only write the index and do not read from it again,
but that is only the case until we make those commands "sparse aware."
We can compare the behavior of the sparse-index in
t1092-sparse-checkout-compability.sh by using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1
when operating on the 'sparse-index' repo. We can also compare the two
sparse repos directly, such as comparing their indexes (when expanded to
full in the case of the 'sparse-index' repo). We also verify that the
index is actually populated with sparse directory entries.
The 'checkout and reset (mixed)' test is marked for failure when
comparing a sparse repo to a full repo, but we can compare the two
sparse-checkout cases directly to ensure that we are not changing the
behavior when using a sparse index.

The index format does not currently allow for sparse directory entries.
This violates some expectations that older versions of Git or
third-party tools might not understand. We need an indicator inside the
index file to warn these tools to not interact with a sparse index
unless they are aware of sparse directory entries.
Add a new _required_ index extension, 'sdir', that indicates that the
index may contain sparse directory entries. This allows us to continue
to use the differences in index formats 2, 3, and 4 before we create a
new index version 5 in a later change.

As we modify the sparse-checkout definition, we perform index operations
on a pattern_list that only exists in-memory. This allows easy backing
out in case the index update fails.
However, if the index write itself cares about the sparse-checkout
pattern set, we need access to that in-memory copy. Place a pointer to
a 'struct pattern_list' in the index so we can access this on-demand.
This will be used in the next change which uses the sparse-checkout
definition to filter out directories that are outside the sparse cone.

The next change will translate full indexes into sparse indexes at write
time. The existing logic provides a way for every sparse index to be
expanded to a full index at read time. However, there are cases where an
index is written and then continues to be used in-memory to perform
further updates.
unpack_trees() is frequently called after such a write. In particular,
commands like 'git reset' do this double-update of the index.
Ensure that we have a full index when entering unpack_trees(), but only
when command_requires_full_index is true. This is always true at the
moment, but we will later relax that after unpack_trees() is updated to
handle sparse directory entries.

This table is helpful for discovering data in the index to ensure it is
being written correctly, especially as we build and test the
sparse-index. This table includes an output format similar to 'git
ls-tree', but should not be compared to that directly. The biggest
reasons are that 'git ls-tree' includes a tree entry for every
subdirectory, even those that would not appear as a sparse directory in
a sparse-index. Further, 'git ls-tree' does not use a trailing directory
separator for its tree rows.
This does not print the stat() information for the blobs. That will be
added in a future change with another option. The tests that are added
in the next few changes care only about the object types and IDs.
However, this future need for full index information justifies the need
for this test helper over extending a user-facing feature, such as 'git
ls-files'.
To make the option parsing slightly more robust, wrap the string
comparisons in a loop adapted from test-dir-iterator.c.
Care must be taken with the final check for the 'cnt' variable. We
continue the expectation that the numerical value is the final argument.

We will mark an in-memory index_state as having sparse directory entries
with the sparse_index bit. These currently cannot exist, but we will add
a mechanism for collapsing a full index to a sparse one in a later
change. That will happen at write time, so we must first allow parsing
the format before writing it.
Commands or methods that require a full index in order to operate can
call ensure_full_index() to expand that index in-memory. This requires
parsing trees using that index's repository.
Sparse directory entries have a specific 'ce_mode' value. The macro
S_ISSPARSEDIR(ce->ce_mode) can check if a cache_entry 'ce' has this type.
This ce_mode is not possible with the existing index formats, so we don't
also verify all properties of a sparse-directory entry, which are:
1. ce->ce_mode == 0040000
2. ce->flags & CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is true
3. ce->name[ce->namelen - 1] == '/' (ends in dir separator)
4. ce->oid references a tree object.
These are all semi-enforced in ensure_full_index() to some extent. Any
deviation will cause a warning at minimum or a failure in the worst

Upcoming changes will introduce modifications to the index format that
allow sparse directories. It will be useful to have a mechanism for
converting those sparse index files into full indexes by walking the
tree at those sparse directories. Name this method ensure_full_index()
as it will guarantee that the index is fully expanded.
This method is not implemented yet, and instead we focus on the
scaffolding to declare it and call it at the appropriate time.
Add a 'command_requires_full_index' member to struct repo_settings. This
will be an indicator that we need the index in full mode to do certain
index operations. This starts as being true for every command, then we
will set it to false as some commands integrate with sparse indexes.
If 'command_requires_full_index' is true, then we will immediately
expand a sparse index to a full one upon reading from disk. This
suffices for now, but we will want to add more callers to
ensure_full_index() later.

This test was introduced in 19a0acc83e4 (t1092: test interesting
sparse-checkout scenarios, 2021-01-23), but it contains issues with quoting
that were not noticed until starting this follow-up series. The old
mechanism would drop quoting such as in
test_all_match git commit -m "touch README.md"
The above happened to work because README.md is a file in the
repository, so 'git commit -m touch REAMDE.md' would succeed by
accident.
Other cases included quoting for no good reason, so clean that up now.

Create a test script that takes the default performance test (the Git
codebase) and multiplies it by 256 using four layers of duplicated
trees of width four. This results in nearly one million blob entries in
the index. Then, we can clone this repository with sparse-checkout
patterns that demonstrate four copies of the initial repository. Each
clone will use a different index format or mode so peformance can be
tested across the different options.
Note that the initial repo is stripped of submodules before doing the
copies. This preserves the expected data shape of the sparse index,
because directories containing submodules are not collapsed to a sparse
directory entry.
Run a few Git commands on these clones, especially those that use the
index (status, add, commit).
Here are the results on my Linux machine:
Test
--------------------------------------------------------------
2000.2: git status (full-index-v3) 0.37(0.30+0.09)
2000.3: git status (full-index-v4) 0.39(0.32+0.10)
2000.4: git add -A (full-index-v3) 1.42(1.06+0.20)
2000.5: git add -A (full-index-v4) 1.26(0.98+0.16)
2000.6: git add . (full-index-v3) 1.40(1.04+0.18)
2000.7: git add . (full-index-v4) 1.26(0.98+0.17)
2000.8: git commit -a -m A (full-index-v3) 1.42(1.11+0.16)
2000.9: git commit -a -m A (full-index-v4) 1.33(1.08+0.16)
It is perhaps noteworthy that there is an improvement when using index
version 4. This is because the v3 index uses 108 MiB while the v4
index uses 80 MiB. Since the repeated portions of the directories are
very short (f3/f1/f2, for example) this ratio is less pronounced than in
similarly-sized real repositories.

This begins a long effort to update the index format to allow sparse
directory entries. This should result in a significant improvement to
Git commands when HEAD contains millions of files, but the user has
selected many fewer files to keep in their sparse-checkout definition.
Currently, the index format is only updated in the presence of
extensions.sparseIndex instead of increasing a file format version
number. This is temporary, and index v5 is part of the plan for future
work in this area.
The design document details many of the reasons for embarking on this
work, and also the plan for completing it safely.

Simplify the signature of read_tree_recursive() to omit the "base",
"baselen" and "stage" arguments. No callers of it use these parameters
for anything anymore.
The last function to call read_tree_recursive() with a non-"" path was
read_tree_recursive() itself, but that was changed in
ffd31f661d5 (Reimplement read_tree_recursive() using
tree_entry_interesting(), 2011-03-25).
The last user of the "stage" parameter went away in the last commit,
and even that use was mere boilerplate.
So let's remove those and rename the read_tree_recursive() function to
just read_tree(). We had another read_tree() function that I've
refactored away in preceding commits, since all in-tree users read
trees recursively with a callback we can change the name to signify
that this is the norm.

Rename the static read_tree_1() function to read_tree_at(). This
function works just like read_tree_recursive(), except you provide
your own strbuf.
This step doesn't make much sense now, but in follow-up commits I'll
remove the base/baselen/stage arguments to read_tree_recursive(). At
that point an anticipated in-tree user[1] for the old
read_tree_recursive() couldn't provide a path to start the
traversal.
Let's give them a function to do so with an API that makes more sense
for them, by taking a strbuf we should be able to avoid more casting
and/or reallocations in the future.

The "stage" variable being passed around in the archive code has only
ever been an elaborate way to hardcode the value "0".
This code was added in its original form in e4fbbfe9ecc (Add
git-zip-tree, 2006-08-26), at which point a hardcoded "0" would be
passed down through read_tree_recursive() to write_zip_entry().
It was then diligently added to the "struct directory" in
ed22b4173bd (archive: support filtering paths with glob, 2014-09-21),
but we were still not doing anything except passing it around as-is.
Let's stop doing that in the code internal to archive.c, we'll still
feed "0" to read_tree_recursive() itself, but won't use it. That we're
providing it at all to read_tree_recursive() will be changed in a
follow-up commit.

Refactor away the read_tree() function into its only user,
overlay_tree_on_index().
First, change read_one_entry_opt() to use the strbuf parameter
read_tree_recursive() passes down in place. This finishes up a partial
refactoring started in 6a0b0b6de99 (tree.c: update read_tree_recursive
callback to pass strbuf as base, 2014-11-30).
Moving the rest into overlay_tree_on_index() makes this index juggling
we're doing easier to read.
