@skysb @alfonsarmi Once this is merged you'll be able to open blobless repositories by calling GlobalSettings.SetExtensions("partialclone"); prior to opening any repositories.

Many methods can throw unexpectedly and my goal is to make it more confortable in
#1909. Please let me know your thoughts and what would be the best for your use case. Please note that I only plan to support blobless repositories (see https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/)

@bording Is there some place where doc could be added regarding the support of partially cloned repositories? I believe this will be more and more a question as the usage of this feature grows.

Hi @jairbubbles
That sounds great! Would a nuget be created so we can download and test it out, anytime soon?
In terms of #1909 I only intend to use it for blobless repositories or filtering out with patterns. Eitherways, in my use case, all I needed was to be able to instantiate the repository, as all data related to files and trees is already available in that. As long as I can read that high level data, we wouldn't need a more extensive research.

We had tried it on windows and it allowed us to get the tree data so it should be more than sufficient as of now. But Id still like to test it out to see if I'm missing any scenarios.

Cheers

Hi @skysb, I'm not maintainer so we just need to wait just a bit.

Hi @bording, would you have time to look at this? The changes are quite simple and it would unlock new possibilities. Thx!

Your PRs are definitely on my todo list once I get all the changes from going back to the native HTTPS support finished.

@bording Hi, any ETC for this?

@jairbubbles Please rebase the PR to resolve the conflicts!

@bording There seem to be some flakiness on some jobs. I don't know if it's related to my change. See https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/runs/4285262042?check_suite_focus=true

[jairbubbles]

Thx @bording, let me know when you publish a package with the changes.

Thanks for the PR! I've pushed 0.27.0-preview-0175 to nuget.org, which includes these changes.
