Subject: [PATCH 6/6] path-walk: mark trees and blobs as UNINTERESTING
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 06:27:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0bb607e1fd31ad2c6c358a444bd4740c10e15d61.1730356023.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1818.git.1730356023.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

When the input rev_info has UNINTERESTING starting points, we want to be
sure that the UNINTERESTING flag is passed appropriately through the
objects. To match how this is done in places such as 'git pack-objects', we
use the mark_edges_uninteresting() method.

This method has an option for using the "sparse" walk, which is similar in
spirit to the path-walk API's walk. To be sure to keep it independent, add a
new 'prune_all_uninteresting' option to the path_walk_info struct.

To check how the UNINTERSTING flag is spread through our objects, extend the
'test-tool path-walk' command to output whether or not an object has that
flag. This changes our tests significantly, including the removal of some
objects that were previously visited due to the incomplete implementation.

 While it is possible to walk only commits in this way, consumers would be
 better off using the revision walk API instead.
 
+`prune_all_uninteresting`::
+	By default, all reachable paths are emitted by the path-walk API.
+	This option allows consumers to declare that they are not
+	interested in paths where all included objects are marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag. This requires using the `boundary` option in
+	the revision walk so that the walk emits commits marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag.
