2017-05-01clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tagsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+74
Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags. Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without also fetching its tags. When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now --no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch. This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a normal clone but not fetch any tags. Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly show ~40k references instead of 1. The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring about any other references. Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository: git init git && cat >git/.git/config <<EOF && [remote "origin"] url = git@github.com:git/git.git tagOpt = --no-tags fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master EOF cd git && git pull Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main --single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags: git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a tag, leaving the user in a detached head: git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler: git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch": git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-05-01tests: change "cd ... && git fetch" to "cd &&\n\tgit fetch"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-9/+18
Change occurrences "cd" followed by "fetch" on a single line to be on two lines. This is purely a stylistic change pointed out in code review for an unrelated patch. Change the these tests use so new tests added later using the more common style don't look out of place.

2016-03-16clone tests: rename t57* => t56*Libravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+156
When trying to find a good spot for testing clone with submodules, I got confused where to add a new test file. There are both tests in t560* as well as t57* both testing the clone command. t/README claims the second digit is to indicate the command, which is inconsistent to the current naming structure. Rename all t57* tests to be in t56* to follow the pattern of the digits as laid out in t/README. It would have been less work to rename t56* => t57* because there are less files, but the tests in t56* look more basic and I assumed the higher the last digits the more complicated niche details are tested, so with the patch now it looks more in order to me.
