From: Derrick Stolee Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 10:30:10 +0000 (+0000) Subject: sparse-index: point users to new 'clean' action X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=66c11bd46a29f8f91297eaf6157be912bd0bf12a;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git sparse-index: point users to new 'clean' action In my experience, the most-common reason that the sparse index must expand to a full one is because there is some leftover file in a tracked directory that is now outside of the sparse-checkout. The new 'git sparse-checkout clean' command will find and delete these directories, so point users to it when they hit the sparse index expansion advice.
