Series partial-clone: fix two issues with sparse filter handling | expand

Commit Message

Jon Simons Aug. 29, 2019, 10:38 p.m. UTC
Fix a bug in partial cloning with sparse filters by ensuring to check
for 'have_git_dir' before attempting to resolve the sparse filter OID.

Otherwise the client will trigger:

    BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository

when attempting to git clone with a sparse filter.

Note that this fix is the minimal one which avoids the BUG and allows
for the clone to complete successfully:

There is an open question as to whether there should be any attempt
to resolve the OID provided by the client in this context, as a filter
for the clone to be used on the remote side.  For cases where local
and remote OID resolutions differ, resolving on the client side could
be considered a bug.  For now, the minimal approach here is used to
unblock further testing for partial clones with sparse filters, while
a more invasive fix could make sense to pursue as a future direction.

t5616 is updated to demonstrate the change.

Oof, thanks -- yes, this is incorrect.  I will revert this back to
'echo'.  I misapplied your initial suggesttion to all three lines.

Curious. Did the test still pass even with the unquoted "/*"? If so,
does that indicate a flaw in the test or somewhere else?

Yes, the test also passes with the unquoted "/*".  I think this showcases
that the test really is a bare minimal sanity check that clones providing
a sparse filter argument are able to run to completion.  As-is the test
does not further assert any behavior of the filter, just that the BUG is
avoided.
