2014-03-27doc: submodule.*.branch config is keyed by nameLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+1
Ever since 941987a5 (git-submodule: give submodules proper names, 2007-06-11) introduced the ability to move a submodule from one path to another inside its superproject tree without losing its identity, we should have consistently used submodule.<name>.* to access settings related to the named submodule.

2014-02-24submodule: explicit local branch creation in module_cloneLibravatar W. Trevor King4-27/+110
The previous code only checked out branches in cmd_add. This commit moves the branch-checkout logic into module_clone, where it can be shared by cmd_add and cmd_update. I also update the initial checkout command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone. With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via: $ git submodule update ... will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are using the default checkout-mode updates. This is a change from the previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic (regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD. This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or not) in other modes. The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work. Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away during updates. For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference. By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs for the developers that don't care. Testing ======= In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with 'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not on a detached HEAD. I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode: * Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs * Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master. The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new submodule commits to the upstream subprojects. This makes it impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects. For a specific example, see the tests that currently generate the 'two_new_submodule_commits' commits. Documentation ============= I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail. The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead to detached HEADs, and which would not. The new documentation addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in module_clone. I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode options into a single set. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-01-07git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update modeLibravatar Francesco Pretto1-1/+12
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the 'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does update using the 'checkout' mode. However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update using the 'checkout' mode. Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and error out when an unknown update mode is used. Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values. The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense. With this change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'. Signed-off-by: Francesco Pretto <ceztko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-12-02submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodulesLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+30
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config, unless there already is a value defined for the submodule. However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using, and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it during a later "submodule update" without validating it first. Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

2013-11-27Documentation: revamp git-cherry(1)Libravatar Thomas Rast1-33/+110
git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base). Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it compares to reading the same from git-log. Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say "apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow concepts. While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream branch we treat as the default. I literally just learned that we support having several, so let's not confuse new users here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not document this.

Some the labeled list entries have a blank line between the label and the body text, and some don't. Use the latter style for consistency; incidentally, syntax highlighting in Vim works better if there is no blank line there. Typeset literal options, commands, and path names in monospace. When using `literal string` mark-up to do so, there is no need to escape AsciiDoc special characters with backslashes, so make sure we don't do so.
