support for shallow clones and fetches with `gitoxide`
This PR makes it possible to enable shallow clones and fetches for git dependencies and crate indices independently with the `-Zgitoxide=fetch,shallow_deps` and `-Zgitoxide=fetch,shallow_index` respectively.
### Tasks
* [x] setup the shallow option when fetching, differentiated by 'registry' and 'git-dependency'
* [x] validate registries are cloned shallowly *and* fetched shallowly
* [x] validate git-dependencies are cloned shallowly *and* fetched shallowly
* [x] a test to show what happens if a shallow index is opened with `git2` (*it can open it and fetch like normal, no issues*)
* [x] assure that `git2` can safely operate on a shallow clone - we unshallow it beforehand, both for registries and git dependencies
* [x] assure git-deps with revisions are handled correctly (they should just not be shallow, and they should unshallow themselves if they are)
* [x] make sure shallow index clones aren't seen by older cargo's
* [x] make sure shallow git dependency clones aren't seen by older cargo's
* [x] shallow.lock test and more test-suite runs with shallow clones enabled for everything
* [x] release new version of `gix` with full shallow support and use it here
* [x] check why `shallow` files remain after unshallowing. Should they not rather be deleted if empty? - Yes, `git` does so as well, implemented [with this commit](2cd5054b0a)
* ~~see if it can be avoided to ever unshallow an existing `-shallow` clone by using the right location from the start. If not, test that we can go `shallow->unshallow->shallow` without a hitch.~~ Cannot happen anymore as it can predict the final location perfectly.
* [x] `Cargo.lock` files don't prevent shallow clones
* [x] assure all other tests work with shallow cloning enabled (or fix the ones that don't with regression protection)
* [x] can the 'split-brain' issue be solved for good?
### Review Notes
* there is a chance of 'split brain' in git-dependencies as the logic for determining whether the clone/fetch is shallow is repeated in two places. This isn't the case for registries though.
### Notes
* I am highlighting that this is the `gitoxide` version of shallow clones as the `git2` version [might soon be available](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6396) as well. Having that would be good as it would ensure interoperability remains intact.
* Maybe for when `git2` has been phased out, i.e. everything else is working, I think (unscientifically) there might be benefits in using worktrees for checkouts. Admittedly I don't know the history of why they weren't used in the first place. Also: `gitoxide` doesn't yet support local clones and might not have to if worktrees were used instead.
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
To start using Cargo, learn more at The Cargo Book.
To start developing Cargo itself, read the Cargo Contributor Guide.
Code Status
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
Installing Cargo
Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed
locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.
Compiling from Source
Requirements
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
cargoandrustc- A C compiler for your platform
git(to clone this repository)
Other requirements:
The following are optional based on your platform and needs.
-
pkg-config— This is used to help locate system packages, such aslibsslheaders/libraries. This may not be required in all cases, such as using vendored OpenSSL, or on Windows. -
OpenSSL — Only needed on Unix-like systems and only if the
vendored-opensslCargo feature is not used.This requires the development headers, which can be obtained from the
libssl-devpackage on Ubuntu oropenssl-develwith apk or yum or theopensslpackage from Homebrew on macOS.If using the
vendored-opensslCargo feature, then a static copy of OpenSSL will be built from source instead of using the system OpenSSL. This may require additional tools such asperlandmake.On macOS, common installation directories from Homebrew, MacPorts, or pkgsrc will be checked. Otherwise it will fall back to
pkg-config.On Windows, the system-provided Schannel will be used instead.
LibreSSL is also supported.
Optional system libraries:
The build will automatically use vendored versions of the following libraries. However, if they are provided by the system and can be found with pkg-config, then the system libraries will be used instead:
libcurl— Used for network transfers.libgit2— Used for fetching git dependencies.libssh2— Used for SSH access to git repositories.libz(aka zlib) — Used for data compression.
It is recommended to use the vendored versions as they are the versions that are tested to work with Cargo.
Compiling
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo.git
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Adding new subcommands to Cargo
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
