[RFC PATCH 21/21] parallel-checkout: skip checking the working tree on clone

From
Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
Date
Aug 10, 2020, 21:33 UTC
Message-ID
<6356b499a4c12c86ec12ca6309c12e16662996f9.1597093021.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1597093021.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

If the current checkout process is part of a clone, we can skip some steps that check paths in the working tree, as we know it was previously empty. More specifically, we can enqueue the entry for parallel checkout before calling check_path() to see if the path was already present and up-to-date. We can also skip calling remove_non_dirs().

Note: this optimization is only possible because the parallel checkout
machinery will detect path collisions, and call checkout_entry_ca()
again for them, going through the check_path() logic.
