Subject: [GSoC23] Working on project Idea from SOC 2011
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 18:07:14 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAABMjtGXGZtUnU+8KgEccNeLXRJmWnE5f24BMG8ysbZKfT-ctQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
There is this SOC 2011 idea named "Resumable clone" here:
https://archive.kernel.org/oldwiki/git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2011Ideas.html
...
Currently cloning a remote repository has to be done in one session.
If the process fails or is aborted for any reason any already downloaded
data is lost and one has to start from scratch.
There is also currently a bug where, after successfully loading
all data during cloning, an failure in applying the data
to the working directory leaves the repository in some
unusable state. In this a normal clone
behaves differently
than a clone --no-checkout followed by checkout.
Fixing this bug would also be part of this project.
While not necessarily being part of this project fetch
might also benefit from a resume mechanism.
Goal: Allow Git to resume a cloning process that
has been aborted for any reason.
Languages: C
...
Can I work on this idea for GSoC23? If so how should I get started?
I have completed one of the microprojects by the way.
Thanks,
