What
Plugins can now be sourced from a subdirectory within a larger repository (monorepo support).
Details
- Uses sparse checkout (
--filter=tree:0) to minimize bandwidth for monorepo plugins - Only the specified subdirectory is materialized; the rest of the repo is not downloaded
- Requires git version 2.25 or later for cone mode support
- Falls back to unshallow fetch if sparse-checkout fails
Evidence
git-subdir support (search for "git-subdir", "Subdirectory within the repo containing the plugin")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
