Fix a segv in 'submodule init' when url is not given for a submodule. * jk/submodule-init-segv-fix: submodule_init: die cleanly on submodules without url defined
2017-04-24submodule_init: die cleanly on submodules without url definedLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
When we init a submodule, we try to die when it has no URL defined: url = xstrdup(sub->url); if (!url) die(...); But that's clearly nonsense. xstrdup() will never return NULL, and if sub->url is NULL, we'll segfault. These two bits of code need to be flipped, so we check sub->url before looking at it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Teach `submodule init` to initialize submodules which have been configured to be active by setting 'submodule.active' with a pathspec. Now if no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is configured, `init` will initialize all submodules which have been configured to be active. If no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is not configured, then `init` will retain the old behavior of initializing all submodules. This allows users to record more complex patterns as it saves retyping them whenever you invoke update.

2017-03-17submodule--helper: add is-active subcommandLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+11
The definition of which submodules are of interest by the user is tied to the configuration submodule.<name>.url; when it is set to a non-empty string, it is of interest. We'd want to be able to later change this definition, but there are many places that explicitly check this condition in the scripted Porcelain. Introduce the "is-active" subcommand to "submodule--helper", so that the exact definition of what submodule is of interest can be centrally defined (and changed in later steps). In a few patches that follow, this helper is used to replace the explicit checks of the configuration variable in scripts.

2017-02-28submodule init: warn about falling back to a local pathLibravatar Stefan Beller1-5/+3
When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url' is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'. The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path. This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved, which is not obvious to the user. So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the user to lessen the confusion. This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f080a (submodule: port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15). In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1], however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so warn instead of die here. While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in the documentation.

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".

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.

In a later patch we want to enhance the logic for the branch selection. Rewrite the current logic to be in C, so we can directly use C when we enhance the logic. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Internally we call the underscore version of relative_path, but externally we present an API with no underscores. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-07-22submodule-helper: fix indexing in clone retry error reporting pathLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+1
'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.

2016-07-11Merge branch 'sb/submodule-clone-retry'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+59
"git submodule update" that drives many "git clone" could eventually hit flaky servers/network conditions on one of the submodules; the command learned to retry the attempt. * sb/submodule-clone-retry: submodule update: continue when a clone fails submodule--helper: initial clone learns retry logic
2016-06-20Merge branch 'sb/submodule-recommend-shallowness'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
An upstream project can make a recommendation to shallowly clone some submodules in the .gitmodules file it ships. * sb/submodule-recommend-shallowness: submodule update: learn `--[no-]recommend-shallow` option submodule-config: keep shallow recommendation around
2016-06-13submodule--helper: initial clone learns retry logicLibravatar Stefan Beller1-7/+59
Each submodule that is attempted to be cloned, will be retried once in case of failure after all other submodules were cloned. This helps to mitigate ephemeral server failures and increases chances of a reliable clone of a repo with hundreds of submodules immensely.
