Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	0dab2468ee	clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags 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>	8 years ago
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	28d67d9a26	tests: change "cd ... && git fetch" to "cd &&\n\tgit fetch" 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.

Stefan Beller	8fbb03a180	clone tests: rename t57* => t56* 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.

Jeff King	60687de5ba	t: fix moderate &&-chain breakage These are tests which are missing a link in their &&-chain, but in a way that probably does not effect the outcome of the test. Most of these are of the form: some_cmd >actual test_cmp expect actual The main point of the test is to verify the output, and a failure in some_cmd would probably be noticed by bogus output. But it is good for the tests to also confirm that "some_cmd" does not die unexpectedly after producing its output.

Ralf Thielow	31b808a032	clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the usual default "+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/" wildcard fetch refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will end up grabbing all the other branches. Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead to correct this. That means: If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to. If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch specified in the "--branch" option. If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all refs of the cloned repository. If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then it'll cover only the ref for this tag.
