Folders with no git repository now sync through git

Directory Sync

Folders without a git repository now sync through the git engine instead of archiving.

What

The helper that picks a sync engine for a directory used to fall back to the archive engine when it found no git repository; it now picks the git engine instead.

Details
  • Monorepos and directories where git is unusable still get no sync at all, with reasons monorepo and git_unusable.
  • Applies to everyone on this build, and follows from the two older engines being dropped.
Evidence

return n ? { engine: "git" } : { engine: "none", reason: "git_unusable" };

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
