"git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as
its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even
have its repository embedded in it. Teach it some special cases
where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is
no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository
is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the
gitfile mechanism to point at it.

submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
|
|
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:
fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory
This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.
But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.
Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.
Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.
Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.

Make the basic git-mv messages translatable, but skip things like "rm
'%s'\n" and "git rm '%s'\n" for now.

Add OPT__FORCE as a helper macro in the same spirit as OPT__VERBOSE
et.al. to simplify defining -f/--force options.

Allows better help text to be defined than "be quiet". Also make use
of the macro in a place that already had a different description. No
object code changes intended.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
