blame: enable and test the sparse index
Enable the sparse index for the 'git blame' command. The index was already not expanded with this command, so the most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git blame' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled and that its performance improves. More specifically, these cases are: 1. The index is not expanded for `blame` when given paths in the sparse checkout cone at multiple levels. 2. Performance measurably improves for `blame` with sparse index when given paths in the sparse checkout cone at multiple levels. The following are the performance results comparing the branch with sparse index enabled for `blame` with the vfs-2.33.0 branch in the microsoft/git repository: ``` Test msft/vfs-2.33.0 sparse-index-blame ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.62: git blame f2/f4/a (full-v3) 0.31(0.21+0.09) 0.32(0.21+0.10) +3.2% 2000.63: git blame f2/f4/a (full-v4) 0.29(0.19+0.08) 0.31(0.21+0.08) +6.9% 2000.64: git blame f2/f4/a (sparse-v3) 0.55(0.38+0.14) 0.23(0.14+0.07) -58.2% 2000.65: git blame f2/f4/a (sparse-v4) 0.57(0.40+0.16) 0.23(0.15+0.07) -59.6% 2000.66: git blame f2/f4/f3/a (full-v3) 0.77(0.56+0.20) 0.85(0.60+0.22) +10.4% 2000.67: git blame f2/f4/f3/a (full-v4) 0.78(0.56+0.20) 0.81(0.59+0.21) +3.8% 2000.68: git blame f2/f4/f3/a (sparse-v3) 1.07(0.78+0.28) 0.72(0.52+0.19) -32.7% 2000.99: git blame f2/f4/f3/a (sparse-v4) 1.05(0.78+0.26) 0.73(0.51+0.19) -30.5% ``` We do not include paths outside the sparse checkout cone because blame currently does not support blaming files outside of the sparse definition. Attempting to do so fails with the following error: fatal: no such path '<path outside sparse definition>' in HEAD Signed-off-by: Lessley Dennington <lessleydennington@gmail.com>
