This series adds some output to 'git status' and modifies git-prompt slightly as an attempt to help. (As per discussion on v1, a "git sparse-checkout [status|info|status]" might supplement the changes from this series later; this is just aimed at giving users a simple reminder that they are in a sparse checkout.) Changes since v2: * Added an extra commit to document how git-prompt works with in-progress state of operations (rebase/merge/cherry-pick/revert/bisect), since I want to refer to it for comparison later in the docs. * As requested by SZEDER, added the ability to shorten or remove the information relating to sparsity state in the git-prompt. * Since there are now three options for whether and how to show information related to sparsity state, I put a fair amount of effort into reasoning among the options about what is a good default and why; I included this in the final commit message. (While I suspect that we can easily change the default for the prompt in the future based on the big warning at the top of git-sparse-checkout.txt, having the rationale up-front for the original decision may help us out in the future.)

Add - sparsity as another state flavor (though one which can be present - simultaneously with any of rebase/cherry-pick/merge/bisect). This extra - state is shown with an extra + git-prompt includes the current branch, a bunch of single character + mini-state displayers, and some much longer in-progress state + notifications. The current branch is always shown. The single + character mini-state displayers are all off by default (they are not + self explanatory) but each has an environment variable for turning it + on. The in-progress state notifications provide no configuration + options for turning them off, and can be up to 15 characters long (e.g. + "|REBASE (12/18)" or "|CHERRY-PICKING"). + + The single character mini-state tends to be used for things like "Do you + have any stashes in refs/stash?" or "Are you ahead or behind of + upstream?". These are things which users can take advantage of but do + not affect most normal git operations. The in-progress states, by + contrast, suggest the user needs to interact differently and may also + prevent some normal operations from succeeding (e.g. git switch may show + an error instead of switching branches). + + Sparsity is like the in-progress states in that it suggests a + fundamental different interaction with the repository (many of the files + from the repository are not present in your working copy!). A few + commits ago added sparsity information to wt_longstatus_print_state(), + grouping it with other in-progress state displays. We do similarly here + with the prompt and show the extra state, by default, with an extra |SPARSE - substring before the other states, providing a prompt that looks like: + This state can be present simultaneously with the in-progress states, in + which case it will appear before the other states; for example, (branchname|SPARSE|REBASE 6/10) The reason for showing the "|SPARSE" substring before other states is to @@ Commit message make them appear closer to where the user types and make them more likely to be noticed. + The fact that sparsity isn't just cached metadata or additional + information is what leads us to show it more similarly to the + in-progress states, but the fact that sparsity is not transient like the + in-progress states might cause some users to want an abbreviated + notification of sparsity state or perhaps even be able to turn it off. + Allow GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE to be set to request that it be + shortened to a single character ('?'), and GIT_PS1_OMITSPARSESTATE to be + set to request that sparsity state be omitted from the prompt entirely. + Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren ## contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh ## +@@ + # revert, cherry-pick, or bisect, the prompt will include information + # related to the operation, often in the form "|". + # ++# When the repository has a sparse-checkout, a notification of the form ++# "|SPARSE" will be included in the prompt.
