dirstate: integrate sparse matcher with _ignore (API)


Why does sparse do it this way instead of intersecting the sparse
matcher with the user's matcher?


I'm not sure I understand the question.  What is the "user's matcher" here?
The ignore matcher?

I mean the matcher the user may have provided on the command line (or
match.always() by default), as in "hg status dir/" (where the matcher
would be "relpath:dir").


This code produces a matcher that returns true for any file that should be
ignored.  Since both hgignore files and sparse-ignored files should be
ignored, I'm not sure how that could be expressed with intersection of those
two matchers?

For narrowhg, we did it the other way around: filtering in instead of
filtering out. So if the narrowspec (like sparse config, IIUC) says to
include foo/ and bar/ and the user provides 'glob:*c', we'd intersect
that and list *.c files in those two directories (recursively).

I'd have to look at the code to be specific, but I think the dirstate ignore logic covers more cases than the user provided matcher logic. I'd be surprised if all commands that hit dirstate.ignore also happened to take patterns at the command level. It just seemed cleaner to have a unified matcher for ignored files at the repo level. The user specific matcher can always be added on top of it later for commands that take patterns.
