2017-01-12submodule update --init: display correct path from submoduleLibravatar Stefan Beller1-6/+7
In the submodule helper we did not correctly handled the display path for initializing submodules when both the submodule is inside a subdirectory as well as the command being invoked from a subdirectory (as viewed from the superproject). This was broken in 3604242f080, which was written at a time where there was no super-prefix available, so we abused the --prefix option for the same purpose and could get only one case right (the call from within a subdirectory, not the submodule being in a subdirectory).

2016-12-12submodule: add absorb-git-dir functionLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+38
When a submodule has its git dir inside the working dir, the submodule support for checkout that we plan to add in a later patch will fail. Add functionality to migrate the git directory to be absorbed into the superprojects git directory. The newly added code in this patch is structured such that other areas of Git can also make use of it. The code in the submodule--helper is a mere wrapper and option parser for the function `absorb_git_dir_into_superproject`, that takes care of embedding the submodules git directory into the superprojects git dir. That function makes use of the more abstract function for this use case `relocate_gitdir`, which can be used by e.g. the worktree code eventually to move around a git directory.

2016-12-12submodule--helper: set alternateLocation for cloned submodulesLibravatar Vitaly "_Vi" Shukela1-2/+17
In 31224cbdc7 (clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates, 2016-08-17) a mechanism was added to have submodules referenced. It did not address _nested_ submodules, however. This patch makes all not just the root repository, but also all submodules (recursively) have submodule.alternateLocation and submodule.alternateErrorStrategy configured, making Git search for possible alternates for nested submodules as well. As submodule's alternate target does not end in .git/objects (rather .git/modules/qqqqqq/objects), this alternate target path restriction for in add_possible_reference_from_superproject relates from "*.git/objects" to just */objects". New tests have been added to t7408-submodule-reference.

2016-10-10alternates: use a separate scratch spaceLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+3
The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after "alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the trailing '/'. It would be much simpler if they could simply access a NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime of the result. The first time another caller uses the alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto it. Let's instead just store the root path separately from the scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

Before 63e95beb0 (2016-04-15, submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C), it did not matter if the superprojects URL had a trailing slash or not. It was just chopped off as one of the first steps (The "remoteurl=${remoteurl%/}" near the beginning of resolve_relative_url(), which was removed in said commit). When porting this to the C version, an off-by-one error was introduced and we did not check the actual last character to be a slash, but the NULL delimiter. Reintroduce the behavior from before 63e95beb0, to ignore the trailing slash.

2016-09-22clone: pass --progress decision to recursive submodulesLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+15
When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did, too. In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty, and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then both processes would come to the same decision by default. If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down "--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this to the child. That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones are always connected to a pipe, and we never output progress at all. This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning. The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for them. This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive clones. And as a bonus, it makes: git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

2016-08-17clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternatesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+102
When `--recursive` and `--reference` is given, it is reasonable to expect that the submodules are created with references to the submodules of the given alternate for the superproject. An initial attempt to do this was presented to the mailing list, which used flags that are passed around ("--super-reference") that instructed the submodule clone to look for a reference in the submodules of the referenced superproject. This is not well thought out, as any further `submodule update` should also respect the initial setup. When a new submodule is added to the superproject and the alternate of the superproject does not know about that submodule yet, we rather error out informing the user instead of being unclear if we did or did not use a submodules alternate. To solve this problem introduce new options that store the configuration for what the user wanted originally.

Allow the user to pass in multiple references to update_clone. Currently this is only internal API, but once the shell script is replaced by a C version, this is needed. This fixes an API bug between the shell script and the helper. Currently the helper accepts "--reference" "--reference=foo" as a OPT_STRING whose value happens to be "--reference=foo", and then uses if (suc->reference) argv_array_push(&child->args, suc->reference) where suc->reference _is_ "--reference=foo" when invoking the underlying "git clone", it cancels out.

2016-08-09submodule--helper: use parallel processor correctlyLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+6
When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing, i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be tried again. The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf. When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper: initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return. Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more, but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.

2016-08-03submodule update: allow '.' for branch valueLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+18
Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules. Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc): while [ true ]; do git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules" git -C <superproject> push done for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature continues to work on that new branch. Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file. The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like. This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well. The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not expect such projects to exist.

'git submodule--helper update-clone' has logic to retry failed clones a second time. For this purpose, there is a list of submodules to clone, and a second list that is filled with the submodules to retry. Within these lists, the submodules are identified by an index as if both lists were just appended. This works nicely except when the second clone attempt fails as well. To report an error, the identifying index must be adjusted by an offset so that it can be used as an index into the second list. However, the calculation uses the logical total length of the lists so that the result always points one past the end of the second list. Pick the correct index.

2016-05-06submodule: stop sanitizing config optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-17/+0
The point of having a whitelist of command-line config options to pass to submodules was two-fold: 1. It prevented obvious nonsense like using core.worktree for multiple repos. 2. It could prevent surprise when the user did not mean for the options to leak to the submodules (e.g., http.sslverify=false). For case 1, the answer is mostly "if it hurts, don't do that". For case 2, we can note that any such example has a matching inverted surprise (e.g., a user who meant http.sslverify=true to apply everywhere, but it didn't). So this whitelist is probably not giving us any benefit, and is already creating a hassle as people propose things to put on it. Let's just drop it entirely. Note that we still need to keep a special code path for "prepare the submodule environment", because we still have to take care to pass through $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (and block the rest of the repo-specific environment variables). We can do this easily from within the submodule shell script, which lets us drop the submodule--helper option entirely (and it's OK to do so because as a "--" program, it is entirely a private implementation detail).

When there is no .gitmodules file availabe to initialize a submodule from, `submodule_from_path` just returns NULL. We need to check for that and abort gracefully. When `submodule init` was implemented in shell, a missing .gitmodules file would result in an error message No url found for submodule path '%s' in .gitmodules Replicate that error message for now. When the .gitmodules file is missing we can probably fail even earlier for all of the submodules with an improved error message.

2016-04-28submodule--helper: move config-sanitizing to submodule.cLibravatar Jeff King1-48/+0
These functions should be used by any code which spawns a submodule process, which may happen in submodule.c (e.g., for spawning fetch). Let's move them there and make them public so that submodule--helper can continue to use them. Since they're now public, let's also provide a basic overview of their intended use.

2016-04-22Merge branch 'sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-24/+16
A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has been corrected. * sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix: submodule--helper, module_clone: catch fprintf failure submodule--helper: do not borrow absolute_path() result for too long submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths submodule--helper clone: create the submodule path just once submodule--helper: fix potential NULL-dereference recursive submodules: test for relative paths
2016-04-16submodule: port init from shell to CLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+115
By having the `submodule init` functionality in C, we can reference it easier from other parts in the code in later patches. The code is split up to have one function to initialize one submodule and a calling function that takes care of the rest, such as argument handling and translating the arguments to the paths of the submodules. This is the first submodule subcommand that is fully converted to C except for the usage string, so this is actually removing a call to the `submodule--helper list` function, which is supposed to be used in this transition. Instead we'll make a direct call to `module_list_compute`. An explanation why we need to edit the prefixes in cmd_update in git-submodule.sh in this patch: By having no processing in the shell part, we need to convey the notion of wt_prefix and prefix to the C parts, which former patches punted on and did the processing of displaying path in the shell. `wt_prefix` used to hold the path from the repository root to the current directory, e.g. wt_prefix would be t/ if the user invoked the `git submodule` command in ~/repo/t and ~repo is the GIT_DIR. `prefix` used to hold the relative path from the repository root to the operation, e.g. if you have recursive submodules, the shell script would modify the `prefix` in each recursive step by adding the submodule path. We will pass `wt_prefix` into the C helper via `git -C <dir>` as that will setup git in the directory the user actually called git-submodule.sh from. The `prefix` will be passed in via the `--prefix` option. Having `prefix` and `wt_prefix` relative to the GIT_DIR of the calling superproject is unfortunate with this patch as the C code doesn't know about a possible recursion from a superproject via `submodule update --init --recursive`. To fix this, we change the meaning of `wt_prefix` to point to the current project instead of the superproject and `prefix` to include any relative paths issues in the superproject. That way `prefix` will become the leading part for displaying paths and `wt_prefix` will be empty in recursive calls for now. The new notion of `wt_prefix` and `prefix` still allows us to reconstruct the calling directory in the superproject by just traveling reverse of `prefix`.

2016-04-16submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to CLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+208
Later on we want to automatically call `git submodule init` from other commands, such that the users don't have to initialize the submodule themselves. As these other commands are written in C already, we'd need the init functionality in C, too. The `resolve_relative_url` function is a large part of that init functionality, so start by porting this function to C. To create the tests in t0060, the function `resolve_relative_url` was temporarily enhanced to write all inputs and output to disk when running the test suite. The added tests in this patch are a small selection thereof. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
