Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] repository: move 'repository_format_worktree_config' to repo scope
Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 15:17:01 -0700	[thread overview]

The changes that replace repository_format_worktree_config with "struct
repository".worktree_config look trivially good. The "struct
repository_format" bits track ebaf3bcf1ae (repository: move global
r_f_p_c to repo struct, 2021-06-17) so it preserves the status quo, but
I have some questions about ebaf3bcf1ae. Cc-ing the author (Jonathan
Tan) for context.

Rearranging the hunks for clarity,

This patch adds another instance of copying fields from "struct
repository_format" to "struct repository", so I think that we should
start doing this with a helper function instead of copy-pasting the
logic.

As for what should be in the helper function, the above hunks suggest
that we should copy .hash_algo, .partial_clone, and .worktree_config.
However...

This hunk does not copy .hash_algo. I initially wondered if it is safe
to just copy .hash_algo here too, but I now suspect that we shouldn't
have done the_repository setup in discover_git_directory() in the first
place. It isn't used by the setup.c machinery - its one caller in "git"
(it's used by "scalar") is read_early_config(), which is supposed to
work without a fully set up repository, and bears a comment saying that
"no global state is changed" by calling discover_git_directory() (which
stopped being true in ebaf3bcf1ae). It looks like
discover_git_directory() is just a lightweight entrypoint into the
setup.c machinery. 16ac8b8db6 (setup: introduce the
discover_git_directory() function, 2017-03-13)) says "Let's just provide
a convenient wrapper function with an easier signature that *just*
discovers the .git/ directory. We will use it in a subsequent patch to
fix the early config."

If I'm wrong and we _should_ be doing the_repository setup, then I'm
guessing it's safe to copy .hash_algo here too. So either way, I think
we should introduce a helper function to do the copying, especially
because we will probably need to repeat this process yet again for
"repository_format_precious_objects".
