Gvfs prefetch --hydrate not sparse aware #1632
Description
Repro:
- Gvfs sparse --set parentFolder/childA
- gvfs prefetch --hydrate --folders parentFolder
Expected:
Prefetch + hydrate everything in parentFolder/childA
Actual:
Fails because it tries to prefetch + hydrate everything in parentFolder, not just childA subfolder:
Authenticating...Succeeded
Querying remote for config...Succeeded
Configured cache server: Global (xxx)
Checking that GVFS is mounted...Succeeded
Fetching blobs and hydrating files from cache server...Failed. Run 'gvfs log D:\onew7' for more info.
Log files shows a bunch of instances of "Failed to read parentFolder\childB\xxxx"
Basically, it seems like gvfs prefetch --hydrate does not limit itself to the cone of folders specified in the sparse set - it tries to prefetch + hydrate everything and fails because the files aren't on disk.

The expectation is that the folder paths you specify are relative to the root of the repo, not relative to your current working directory. I did like this to prefetch one subfolder:
gvfs prefetch --folders Pictures/2019/ --verbose --hydrate
