scripts: installation without sparse-checkout #425
Conversation
Old versions of Ubuntu (and likely other LTS distros) have `git` versions which do not support `git-sparse-checkout`. `git-sparse-checkout` is used as of nodejs#389. Dynamically check if `git sparse-checkout` is supported, and if not then fallback to cloning the whole repo. Cloning the whole repo is _slow_, but at least it works. I tested this patch on Ubuntu 18.04 without any lldb headers installed, and it worked successfully.

Maybe could we put that one into a variable ?

Hey @tony-go I'm looking to merge this.
Can you be a bit more specific with the point about the variable?
I'm not 100% on what your ask is.

I think the ask is to put the Github URL into a variable. I don't feel particularly strongly about it; feel free to do it before merging if you'd like.

OK this has been around for a while with no updates.
@tony-go I'm also not strongly pushed about changing the implementation.
I'll merge this and please feel free to PR your suggested change if you want.
