Add Linkfile and Copyfile support to Manifest FS. Change-Id: Iee24760742ffb3b5546c9b400c9fc5d314528733
This is a FUSE filesystem that provides light-weight, read-only checkouts of Android.
To start,
go install github.com/google/gitfs/cmd/gitfs-{multifs,expand-manifest}
gitfs-expand-manifest --gitiles https://android.googlesource.com/ \
> /tmp/m.xml
mkdir /tmp/mnt
gitfs-multifs -cache /tmp/cache -gitiles https://android.googlesource.com/ /tmp/mnt &
then, in another terminal, execute
ln -s /tmp/m.xml /tmp/mnt/config/ws
To create a workspace “ws” corresponding to the manifest in m.xml.
The FUSE file system clones repositories on-demand. You can avoid cloning altogether for repositories you know you don't need. This is configured through a JSON file.
For example, if you work on Android, and build on a Linux machine, you will never need the Darwin related prebuilts. You can avoid a costly clone for those by doing:
{"Repo": ".*darwin.*", "Clone": false}
Similarly, the build system system will read files (typically called ‘*.mk’) across the entire tree. When any .mk file is opened, this should not trigger a clone. This is achieved with the following entry
{"File": ".*mk$", "Clone": false}
Together, the following config.json file is a good start for working on android:
[{"Repo": ".*darwin.*", "Clone": false},
{"File": ".*mk$", "Clone": true}]
