[PATCH v6 2/6] remote-curl: supports git-upload-archive service

From
Jiang Xin <worldhello.net@gmail.com>
Date
Jan 21, 2024, 13:15 UTC
Message-ID
<b63b014a22a69ffdd680543ecb4c49ac2c83bb4c.1705841443.git.zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1705841443.git.zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>
From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>

Add new service (git-upload-archive) support in remote-curl, so we can support remote archive over HTTP/HTTPS protocols. Differences between git-upload-archive and other services:

 1. The git-archive program does not expect to see protocol version and
    capabilities when connecting to remote-helper, so do not send them
    in remote-curl for the git-upload-archive service.
 2. We need to detect protocol version by calling discover_refs().
    Fallback to use the git-upload-pack service (which, like
    git-upload-archive, is a read-only operation) to discover protocol
    version.
