Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] repository: move fetch_if_missing into struct repository
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:24:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814072419.1666358-3-cat@malon.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814072419.1666358-1-cat@malon.dev>
The global variable 'fetch_if_missing' controls whether a missing
object check should prompt a lazy fetch from a promisor remote.
In order to continue the libification effort, move it into
'struct repository' and initialize it to 1 by default to keep the
previous behavior.
builtin/fetch-pack.c, builtin/fsck.c, and builtin/rev-list.c are
entered via commands marked RUN_SETUP in git.c:commands[]. Their
'repo' parameter is only NULL when '-h' is given outside of a
repository, in which case either show_usage_if_asked() or
parse_options()'s own '-h' handling exits the process before
returning. We can therefore drop their UNUSED markers and assign
to 'repo' directly.
builtin/index-pack.c is entered via RUN_SETUP_GENTLY, so its
'repo' pointer can be NULL any time it is run outside of a
repository, not only with '-h'. We keep a NULL check there and fall
back to 'the_repository'.
builtin/pack-objects.c's call sites were prepared in the preceding
commit to have 'repo' in scope. This commit performs the replacement
of 'fetch_if_missing' with 'repo->fetch_if_missing' there.
Additionally, update the partial clone documentation to reflect
that this is now a per-repository flag.
