[PATCH v5 1/3] completion: address sparse-checkout issues

From
Lessley Dennington via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Feb 3, 2022, 20:44 UTC
Message-ID
<a1c46c763fd4c832a6784e2a368199efedce17e9.1643921091.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1108.v5.git.1643921091.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Lessley Dennington <lessleydennington@gmail.com>

Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout command. These issues were:

1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of
subcommands (it was missing reapply and add).
2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable.
3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed
both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising
behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete
only directory names.

Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have some caveats. These are:

1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of
recursively completing directory names).
2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters.
These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.
