[PATCH 11/13] mv: refuse to move sparse paths

From
Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Aug 24, 2021, 21:54 UTC
Message-ID
<d31c641180645ee4059aab9230841ad90f9244fe.1629842085.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1018.git.1629842085.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

Since cmd_mv() does not operate on cache entries and instead directly checks the filesystem, we can only use path_in_sparse_checkout() as a mechanism for seeing if a path is sparse or not. Be sure to skip returning a failure if '-k' is specified.
