Thanks for patiently responding to all my other queries. I read
through more of the series today. I inserted comments on a couple
specific patches, but most of patches 6-25 are all along the same
theme.
I have some overall comments on those patches in 6-25 (none of which
need to be addressed in this series, but are meant as hopefully
helpful guides about future work):
add/rm: both of these were just above loops that had a
skip-the-SKIP_WORKTREE entries, at least once Matheus' series is
merged (https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover.1615588108.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br/).
I think the upshot is just that these become easier to convert.
checkout/commit -- I think these follow the add/rm model and likewise
become easy to convert.
ls-files - I commented elsewhere in this thread about how I think it'd
make sense to have it list the entries in the index, as always.
Obviously, that'd give different output than a full index, because
there are different entries present in the index when using a
sparse-index vs. a full one.
However, all of these, as you say, can wait until later.
I also noted that patches 26 and 27 were based on ones from the RFC
series that I reviewed before, and I noticed you fixed an issue or two
I flagged there, but you also made some other changes and it's too
late at night for my brain to continue thinking and try to compare
them; I may try again tomorrow.
Other than patch 26 which I'm too tired to think through right now,
and the patches I specifically commented on, the rest of the series
looks good to me.
