From 87e10a91e2396507451387d3cf9f351d2cf7d7e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:09:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] builtin/clone: move setup of alternates for shared local clones When cloning a local repository with "--shared" we add that repository to the new repository's alternates. This is done in `clone_local()`, which is responsible for performing local clones. Move the logic into `collect_alternates()` to unify our setup of alternates. Furthermore, this will allow us to set up alternates right at creation time of the object database. Note that the logic for cloning a local repository with "--no-shared" is not yet part of `collect_alternates()`. This will be handled in the next commit, but means that at this step, we may compute `commondir` without it being used. It will become used in the next step though.
