sparse-index: convert from full to sparse 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.

sparse-index: expand_to_path() 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.
