Hi.
We need your opinion on the following topic. While Svn and Cvs providers
perform the list() operation remotely and don't need a checkout directory,
Git and some others
simply list the local files (generally, because their SCMs don't provide
a remote list method). Arguments passed to the list() method also have
different meanings for those
providers.
We should specify in the ScmProvider.list() javadoc that if the SCM does
not support remote listing, then the method should just fail and also
modify the existing
ListCommand implementations.
My opinion on this is that the ListCommand says remote repos. If some
SCM provider implements it wrong, it either has to be dropped or
corrected. I don't like the idea to checkout or clone to list files.
The Git provider has been implemented incorrectly from the beginning. I
checked some other SCMs and they don't implement it at all.
This needs to be fixed in 2.0.0.
It depends, git being distributed, if you have the local checkout, you can
list exactly without needing to go remote.
No, the docs say remote list. Not local list.
But perhaps the thing here is to enhance the api to provide for both cases.
Likely, but you will end up in a split situation because not every SCM
will implement your usercase.
At the minimum, git could do an ls-remote and then list from local once the
revision is confirmed present (which would meet a goal of being a “read
only” operation)
ls-remote does *not* list any files remotely, it lists remote refs.
