Add filtering to RepositoryService.SearchFilesByName
The Go proxy MVC gitlab!27746 (merged) uses RepositoryService.SearchFilesByName
to identify all go.mod
files in the repository for a given ref. Currently, this requires query: '.'
. For repositories with many files, this will result in significant wasted bandwidth, since the only records that are needed are go.mod
and **/go.mod
. This impacts gitlab#218083, gitlab#219311, and gitlab!29642 (closed).
I propose that an optional field is added to SearchFilesByNameRequest
, such as include
, exclude
, filter
, or similar. This field will be a glob, regex, or some other type of pattern that will be applied as a filter to the response prior to sending.
If this proposal is acceptable, I would be happy to work on a MR.
