From ab733daff5398fd07ff051c323f51b70efbc2e57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 17:50:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] pack-objects: add --sparse option Add a '--sparse' option flag to the pack-objects builtin. This allows the user to specify that they want to use the new logic for walking trees. This logic currently does not differ from the existing output, but will in a later change. Create a new test script, t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh, to ensure the object list that is selected matches what we expect. When we update the logic to walk in a sparse fashion, the final test will be updated to show the extra objects that are added.
