Add support for sparse checkouts #1369

dscho · 2023-06-03T22:13:40Z

A relatively recent feature of Git are the sparse checkouts, i.e. checkouts where only part of the files in the revision are actually written to the worktree, and other files are only in the index. Combined with the partial clone feature, this is a very powerful tool to work e.g. with monorepos.

This PR adds support for sparse checkouts:

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    sparse-checkout: |
      .github
      src

This PR builds on #1317, adding a commit to optionally turn off cone mode.

[Extracted from the PR description to avoid making it a part of the commit message when squash-merging:]

Apart from squashing commits to avoid introducing bugs only to immediately fix them, the fixups on top of #1317 include reverts of unrelated changes (there are some var declarations that should be const, but that fix has nothing to do with sparse checkouts and should therefore not be part of this PR).

Hey @dscho I appreciate your participation on this topic!

But why did you create a new PR instead of continue the work in the original one?

Mainly to avoid more PRs to discuss and make easier go forward with this topic

I was working on the comments of #1317 (comment) and creating a new PR will only create conflicts and more difficulties to achieve this goal

Thanks anyway and I will take a look to the diff you proposed!

Suggested change

result.sparseCheckoutConeMode =

(core.getInput('sparse-checkout-cone-mode') || 'true').toUpperCase() !==

'FALSE'

result.sparseCheckoutConeMode =

I think we normally compare with TRUE in the input-helper.ts

I fixed it in my most recent force-push.

do we need to have extra check to make sure git is greater than certain version that support sparse-checkout?

Hey @TingluoHuang git sparse-checkout is supported since the git version 2.26.0 and the current version on actions/checkout of git is 2.40.1 so I don't think this is something necessary 🤔

The current Git version on hosted runners is v2.40.1. But actions/checkout also supports self-hosted runners where users are often not at liberty to bump the Git version, e.g. because they're stuck on old Ubuntu LTS versions which simply refuse to move the needle.

I added c4602b4 to address this.

Uu nice! I understand perfect ✨

dfdez · 2023-06-07T00:45:54Z

Hey @dscho after taking a look to this PR there are interesting changes that you made like some misspelling words, corrections to the README.md and the unification of the sparse-checkout test in only one file that I see perfect!

That is why I have made those updates on my branch on this commits d8614bd 7301241

Regarding the non-cone mode as mentioned on the git documentation we shouldn't use it.

Also is true that the var change to const does nothing to do with the goal of my PR but I thought it wouldn't be a problem to clean that!

Thanks for all the work done and let's hope we can use sparse-checkout soon!

While it _is_ true that cone mode is the default nowadays (mainly for performance reasons: code mode is much faster than non-cone mode), there _are_ legitimate use cases where non-cone mode is really useful. Let's add a flag to optionally disable cone mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

I hoped that I could help move the feature along faster that way.

Regarding the non-cone mode as mentioned on the git documentation we shouldn't use it.

It is true that it is deprecated. And for good reasons: the performance of non-cone mode gets really bad really quickly with increasing sparse-checkout definitions.

However, it is precisely this mode that I require in a couple of legacy projects where code mode is just not feasible.

dfdez · 2023-06-07T09:34:27Z

Yes you are right but maybe it could be a better idea to create that PR to mine instead of creating a new one? But it's fine! Also I see that you are a contributor therefore I guess your PR have more priority?

However, it is precisely this mode that I require in a couple of legacy projects where code mode is just not feasible.

Okay that is a completely valid reason, but having this functionality knowing that is deprecated I wasn't sure if was the right thing to do, but if it's not a problem I don't see why we shouldn't add it

Also I have an answer regarding this comment about lfs and sparse-checkout let me know you opinion on this!

I'm not sure how we should proceed now, do I continue the changes on my current PR merging yours? Or do we continue on this PR?

dscho · 2023-06-07T11:08:34Z

That was my thinking.

Also I have an answer regarding this comment about lfs and sparse-checkout let me know you opinion on this!

I don't really have any opinion on this, I am not using Git LFS in my repositories. If you have a solution that is working for everyone involved, I'd be happy to add it to this here PR (in the hopes that it will get merged soon).

The `git sparse-checkout` command is available only since Git version v2.25.0. The `actions/checkout` Action actually supports older Git versions than that; As of time of writing, the minimum version is v2.18.0. Instead of raising this minimum version even for users who do not require a sparse checkout, only check for this minimum version specifically when a sparse checkout was asked for. Suggested-by: Tingluo Huang <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

Instead of fetching all the LFS objects present in the current revision in a sparse checkout, whether they are needed inside the sparse cone or not, let's instead only pull the ones that are actually needed. To do that, let's avoid running that preemptive `git lfs fetch` call in case of a sparse checkout. An alternative that was considered during the development of this patch (and ultimately rejected) was to use `git lfs pull --include <path>...`, but it turned out to be too inflexible because it requires exact paths, not the patterns that are available via the sparse checkout definition, and that risks running into command-line length limitations.

do you might provide another example for fetch single file that is not on the root dir? ex: few directory deep, etc.
also, maybe some examples of using glob pattern, ex checkout all *.md files? 😄

do you might provide another example for fetch single file that is not on the root dir? ex: few directory deep, etc. also, maybe some examples of using glob pattern, ex checkout all *.md files? 😄

That would require non-cone mode, which is deprecated by the Git project: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout#_internalscone_pattern_set

Seeing as it is deprecated, I would like to avoid encouraging users to use it. Read: I do not want to add documentation how to do this, giving users the impression that they should use this.

And maybe it has sense to add an example with lfs? In order to let know that the fetch of lfs can be reduced with the sparse-checkout option to 🤔

The first part would be easy, by adding another LFS step that simply uses sparse-checkout: ..

However, the second part would be a bit tricky because this test requires a branch with LFS objects, and it uses the test-data/v2/lfs branch of actions/checkout itself. As you can see here, there is only one LFS file, in the root directory. Therefore, even in sparse checkout mode "all the LFS files" are fetched, i.e. that single one.

It would require adding another branch to the repository, with an additional LFS file in a subdirectory, and then we would still need to figure out a robust way to verify that it was not fetched, most likely relying on implementation details such as the location of the LFS cache (.git/lfs/objects) and the cache files' names, which would be fragile because implementation details are not guaranteed to remain unchanged.

So I don't know whether it is worth the effort.

what will happen if sparseCheckout is an empty array?

That shouldn't happen, you can see that the length is checked when setting up the sparseCheckout variable
