From 9dad0d2a3d49e403cf47de38994fd54f34eb24e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2021 13:09:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sparse-index: silently return when not using cone-mode patterns While the sparse-index is only enabled when core.sparseCheckoutCone is also enabled, it is possible for the user to modify the sparse-checkout file manually in a way that does not match cone-mode patterns. In this case, we should refuse to convert an index into a sparse index, since the sparse_checkout_patterns will not be initialized with recursive and parent path hashsets. Also silently return if there are no cache entries, which is a simple case: there are no paths to make sparse!
