Directory SyncArea: what it touches
In DevelopmentKind: in v2.1.239,
In DevelopmentSection of the release
Overlay sync is implemented behind an option defaulting to false that no caller sets.
What
Directory sync can now be told to overlay changes onto an existing worker checkout instead of recloning it. The capability is carried on an options object that defaults to false, and every caller in this build falls back to false, so it is off.
Details
When a workspace wants an overlay but the capability is off, sync records dir_sync_overlay_disabled and reports status disabled.
The success paths record dir_sync_overlay_recloned and dir_sync_overlaid_head_moved.
Evidence
dir_sync_overlay_disabled
