This repo is a stress test to check if we are able to download only certain files or directories from a git repository: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/600079/how-do-i-clone-a-subdirectory-only-of-a-git-repository/52269934#52269934
This repo is the same as https://github.com/************/test-git-partial-clone-big-small but without the big_tree subdirectory which we don't currently know how to not download.
This repo is designed such that if you clone anything outside of small/ or small2/ or subdir/small/, then you get at least 100 MB extra pseudorandom data, so it will be very noticeable on the network and disk usage.
Contents:
- big/: 10x pseudorandom 10 MB files (~100 MB), small filenames
- big0 - big9: 10x pseudorandom 10 MB files (~100 MB). These were added to ensure that toplevel objects are not fetched.
- small/: 1000x 1 B files, small filenames. The usual download target.
- small2/: same as small/. To see if the method supports downloading multiple directories at once together with
small - subdir/small/: same as small/. Because
git sparse-checkout set --no-cone smallworks on basenames not full paths and also fetches subdir/small/, for full paths you need/small
There is also a branch bigissmall in which:
big/is renamed tobigdir/small/is renamed tobig/
to check that cloning from a different branch does not touch master in any way.
This repository is automatically generated with the generate.sh script. Just run:
./generate.sh
and it will nuke your old .git and create a clean new repo.
