Fix a bug in partial cloning with sparse filters by ensuring to check
for 'have_git_dir' before attempting to resolve the sparse filter OID.
Otherwise the client will trigger:
BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository
when attempting to git clone with a sparse filter.
Note that this fix is the minimal one which avoids the BUG and allows
for the clone to complete successfully:
There is an open question as to whether there should be any attempt
to resolve the OID provided by the client in this context, as a filter
for the clone to be used on the remote side. For cases where local
and remote OID resolutions differ, resolving on the client side could
be considered a bug. For now, the minimal approach here is used to
unblock further testing for partial clones with sparse filters, while
a more invasive fix could make sense to pursue as a future direction.
t5616 is updated to demonstrate the change.
