Description

When fetching the tree of a repository calling https://gitea.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/{sha} (documentation) the last API call in this sequence that returns the last (non-truncated) chunk of data, returns truncated: true.
This behaviour was observed while using Sveltia-CMS and is documented in this issue.

Expected Behavior

I think the expected behaviour would be to return truncated: false in the last API call. This is to be discussed.

Example

The request body will look like this:

{
"sha":"{sha}",
"url":"https://gitea.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/{sha}",
"tree":[{"path":"path/to/file/1.svg","mode":"100644","type":"blob","size":986,"sha":"{sha-file1}","url":"https://gitea.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/blobs/{sha-file1}"},
{"path":"/path/to/file/2.svg","mode":"100644","type":"blob","size":2192,"sha":"{sha-file2}","url":"https://gitea.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/blobs/{sha-file2}"}],
"truncated":true,
"page":13,
"total_count":12002
}
