Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] promisor-remote: allow a server to advertise more fields
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 16:52:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429145243.992252-3-christian.couder@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250429145243.992252-1-christian.couder@gmail.com>
For now the "promisor-remote" protocol capability can only pass "name"
and "url" information from a server to a client in the form
"name=<remote_name>,url=<remote_url>".
Let's make it possible to pass more information by introducing a new
"promisor.sendFields" configuration variable. This variable should
contain a comma or space separated list of fields that will be looked
up in the configuration of the remote on the server to find the values
that will be passed to the client.
Only a set of predefined fields are allowed. The only fields in this
set are "partialCloneFilter" and "token".
For example if "promisor.sendFields" is set to "partialCloneFilter",
and the server has the "remote.<name>.partialCloneFilter" config
variable set to a value for a remote, then that value will be passed
in the form "partialCloneFilter=<value>" after the "name" and "url"
fields.
A following commit will allow the client to use the information to
decide if it accepts the remote or not. For now the client doesn't do
anything with the additional information it receives.
