Add a new configuration option that lets users specify a default
partial clone filter, optionally scoped by URL pattern. When
cloning a repository whose URL matches a configured pattern,
git-clone automatically applies the filter, equivalent to passing
--filter on the command line.
[clone]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:limit=1m
[clone "https://github.com/"]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:limit=5m
[clone "https://internal.corp.com/large-project/"]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:none
The bare clone.defaultObjectFilter applies to all clones. The
URL-qualified form clone.<url>.defaultObjectFilter restricts the
setting to matching URLs. URL matching uses the existing
urlmatch_config_entry() infrastructure, following the same rules as
http.<url>.* — a domain, namespace, or specific project can be
matched, and the most specific match wins.
The config only affects the initial clone. Once the clone completes,
the filter is recorded in remote.<name>.partialCloneFilter, so
subsequent fetches inherit it automatically. An explicit --filter
on the command line takes precedence, and --no-filter defeats the
configured default entirely.
