The description is a bit skimpy.  At least it should explain why
blindly flipping the "requires-full-index" bit off is all that is
necessary. I think in the review discussion on v1, Derrick gave some
explanation you can regurgitate and reuse.

Having this almost identical helper copied from a near-by test
script means maintenance nightmare.  People will forget to side port
to this copy any fixes they make to the other one.

I was hoping there would be a cleaner approach to reuse t6120, by
doing something similar to either how t8001-annotate shares blame
tests, or how t5559 takes advantage of t5551.  One way might be ...

 * prepare a prerequisite like so near the beginning of t6120

	test_lazy_prereq WITH_SPARSE_INDEX '
		test "$TEST_NAME" = t6121-describe
	'

 * add tests to be run with sparse-index enabled, but guarded with
   some variable, e.g.

	test_expect_success TESTING_SPARSE_INDEX 'a new test' '
		... do sparse-index testing specific code ...
	'

   Such "sparse-index testing specific" code may include turning the
   working tree the previous test already prepared into sparse
   (i.e. additional "setup"), or running commands under
   "ensure_not_expanded" (i.e. new tests).

 * create t6121 that works similar to how t5559 takes advantage of
   t5551, something like

	#/bin/sh
	. ./t6120-describe.sh

Ideally we should be able to do this without adding a new t6121, by
adding new tests that are specific to sparse-index at the end of
t6120, and avoid duplicated code.

Another possibility that may take the least amount of effort (but
may give us a lot less satisfactory outcome) may be to add a
lib-describe.sh library that is sourced from t6120 and t6121, and
move check_describe there.  If check_describe has to behave slightly
differently, have a new conditional in the implementation so that
the caller can make a choice.

Hello! Thanks for working on this patch, it's always nice to get more sparse
index support. Since this is your first contribution to the mailing list,
though, it's unclear to me whether you're working on this as an independent
contributor or if you're interested in the Google Summer of Code project
"More Sparse Index Integrations" [1]. If you're doing this for GSoC, could
you please prefix the title of this patch with "[GSoC]" (as noted in the
application details [2])?

On the topic of GSoC applications - if you are submitting this for GSoC, I'm
a bit curious as to why you jumped right into sparse index rather than first
submitting a microproject [3]. This is a good first pass at a sparse index
integration, but the microproject is a better way to get acquainted with the
conventions and requirements of contributing to Git, hence the strong
recommendation to complete one first.

As Junio noted [4], this description doesn't provide much information to a
reader. Commit messages should (at a minimum) explain what the code change
in a commit does, as well as why it's necessary.

Looks good.

This isn't disruptive to the existing performance tests, but allows you to
easily test 'git describe'. Nice!

The test you've added isn't verifying the sparse index compatibility of 'git
tag' (which doesn't use the index at all, IIRC), so 'ensure_not_expanded'
isn't needed on this line. You should use 'git -C sparse-index tag ...' to
perform the action instead.

Is there a specific reason you've created a new test file instead of adding
the tests to 't1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh'? Historically, we've
used 't1092' for validating both the functional correctness of a command
with sparse index enable and the preservation of a sparse index with
'ensure_not_expanded'; you've done the latter in 't1092', but put the former
in this new 't6121'. 't1092' also uses a more "interesting" test repo &
includes comparison functions for full checkout/sparse-checkout/sparse
index, so the tests added for 'git describe' can be more thorough.

Ahh...  I mentioned t6120 in my response, but t1092 does sound like
a lot more appropriate place for adding tests for these.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Hello. So, yes, I am interested in GSOC. As for the reason for choosing 
to do sparse-index, I had just missed the part about the micro-projects. 
Sorry about that. So, do I submit a micro-project patch?

And as for the changes mentioned, I will make the changes in the title

No, you do not need to submit an additional microproject. The 'git describe'
integration covers the intended purpose of a microproject (namely, becoming
familiar with Git contribution best practices).
