William Sprent 00408adeac builtin/sparse-checkout: add check-rules command
There exists no direct way to interrogate git about which paths are
matched by a given set of sparsity rules. It is possible to get this
information from git, but it includes checking out the commit that
contains the paths, applying the sparse checkout patterns and then using
something like 'git ls-files -t' to check if the skip worktree bit is
set. This works in some case, but there are cases where it is awkward or
infeasible to generate a checkout for this purpose.

Exposing the pattern matching of sparse checkout enables more tooling to
be built and avoids a situation where tools that want to reason about
sparse checkouts start containing parallel implementation of the rules.
To accommodate this, add a 'check-rules' subcommand to the
'sparse-checkout' builtin along the lines of the 'git check-ignore' and
'git check-attr' commands. The new command accepts a list of paths on
stdin and outputs just the ones the match the sparse checkout.

To allow for use in a bare repository and to allow for interrogating
about other patterns than the current ones, include a '--rules-file'
option which allows the caller to explicitly pass sparse checkout rules
in the format accepted by 'sparse-checkout set --stdin'.

To allow for reuse of the handling of input patterns for the
'--rules-file' flag, modify 'add_patterns_from_input()' to be able to
read from a 'FILE' instead of just stdin.

To allow for reuse of the logic which decides whether or not rules
should be interpreted as cone-mode patterns, split that part out of
'update_modes()' such that can be called without modifying the config.

An alternative could have been to create a new 'check-sparsity' command.
However, placing it under 'sparse-checkout' allows for a) more easily
re-using the sparse checkout pattern matching and cone/non-code mode
handling, and b) keeps the documentation for the command next to the
experimental warning and the cone-mode discussion.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
