Use the new rev-parse --prefix option to process all paths given to the submodule command, dropping the requirement that it be run from the top-level of the repository. Since the interpretation of a relative submodule URL depends on whether or not "remote.origin.url" is configured, explicitly block relative URLs in "git submodule add" when not at the top level of the working tree.

Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule at a path whose name is not in ASCII. This is because "git ls-files" is used to find which paths are bound to submodules to the current working tree, and the output is C-quoted by default for non ASCII pathnames.

2013-04-01submodule deinit: clarify work tree removal messageLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+4
The output of "git submodule deinit sub" of a populated submodule prints rm 'sub' as the first line unless used with the -f option. The "rm 'sub'" line is exactly the same output the user gets when using "git rm sub" (because that command is used with the --dry-run option under the hood to determine if the submodule is clean), which can easily lead to the false impression that the submodule would be permanently removed. Also users might be confused that the "rm 'submodule'" line won't show up when the -f option is used, as the test is skipped in this case. Silence the "rm 'submodule'" output by using the --quiet option for "git rm" and always print Cleared directory 'submodule' instead as the first output line. This line is printed as long as the directory exists, no matter if empty or not. Also extend the tests in t7400 to make sure the "Cleared directory" line is printed correctly.

2013-03-04submodule: add 'deinit' commandLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+76
With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the "submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config together with the work tree himself). Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the whole submodule.<name> section from .git/config (either for the given submodule(s) or for all those which have been initialized if '.' is used) together with their work tree. Fail if the current work tree contains modifications (unless forced), but don't complain when either the work tree is already removed or no settings are found in .git/config. Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm" to assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the submodule is the right thing to do for him.

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

With this patch, $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>] $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch> reduces to $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>] This means that future calls to $ git submodule update --remote ... will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the submodule, which is usually what you want.

2012-12-19submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changesLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+20
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto $sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with changes in the upstream superproject. However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such changes include the ungainly: $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull' With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the `submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration (using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`, `~/.gitconfig`, etc.). Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch ======================================= Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull example above was described by Ævar in commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Date: Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000 git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes. Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the superproject's branch name. Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch` slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch will be pulled in each workflow. Implementation details ====================== In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote` fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch: if test -z "$nofetch" then # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it # is not reachable from a ref. (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" && ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) && test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) || die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")" fi There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching. Signed-off-by: W.

If you remove a submodule, in order to keep the repository so that "git checkout" to an older commit in the superproject history can resurrect the submodule, the real repository will stay in $GIT_DIR of the superproject. A later "git submodule add $path" to add a different submodule at the same path will fail. Diagnose this case a bit better, and if the user really wants to add an unrelated submodule at the same path, give the "--name" option to give it a place in $GIT_DIR of the superproject that does not conflict with the original submodule. * jl/submodule-add-by-name: submodule add: Fail when .git/modules/<name> already exists unless forced Teach "git submodule add" the --name option

2012-10-29submodule status: remove unused orig_* variablesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-3/+1
When renaming orig_args to orig_flags in 98dbe63d (submodule: only preserve flags across recursive status/update invocations) the call site of the recursive cmd_status was forgotten. At that place orig_args is still passed into the recursion, which is always empty since then. This did not break anything because the orig_flags logic is not needed at all when a function from the submodule script is called with eval, as that inherits all the variables set by the option parsing done in the first level of the recursion. Now that we know that orig_flags and orig_args aren't needed at all, let's just remove them from cmd_status().

2012-09-30submodule add: Fail when .git/modules/<name> already exists unless forcedLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+14
When adding a new submodule it can happen that .git/modules/<name> already contains a submodule repo, e.g. when a submodule is removed from the work tree and another submodule is added at the same path. But then the work tree of the submodule will be populated using the existing repository and not the one the user provided, which results in an incorrect work tree. On the other hand the user might reactivate a submodule removed earlier, then reusing that .git directory is the Right Thing to do. As git can't decide what is the case, error out and tell the user she should use either use a different name for the submodule with the "--name" option or can reuse the .git directory for the newly added submodule by providing the --force option (which only makes sense when the upstream matches, so the error message lists all remotes of .git/modules/<name>). In one test in t7406 the --force option had to be added to "git submodule add", as that test re-adds a formerly removed submodule.

2012-09-29Teach "git submodule add" the --name optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-10/+22
"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the wrong repository. Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the same reason). To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

2012-09-25submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other argsLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-1/+9
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a unspecified action word for 'status' action. This is a UI mistake that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that name, e.g. $ git submodule show error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its value is questionable. Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than promoting laziness and confusion.

2012-08-14Let submodule command exit with error status if path does not existLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-3/+30
Various subcommands of the "git submodule" command exited with 0 status even though the path given by the user did not exist. The reason behind that was that they all pipe the output of module_list into the while loop which then does the action on the paths specified by the commandline. Since the exit code of the command on the upstream side of the pipe is ignored by the shell, the status code of "ls-files --error-unmatch" nor "module_list" was not propagated. In case ls-files returns with an error code, we write a special string that is not possible in non error situations, and no other output, so that the downstream can detect the error and die with an error code. The error message that there is an unmatched pathspec comes through stderr directly from ls-files. So the user still gets a hint whats going on.

2012-07-25git-submodule: work with GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREELibravatar Daniel Graña1-2/+5
The combination of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE can be used to manage files in one directory hierarchy while keeping the repository that keeps track of them outside the directory hierarchy. For example: git init --bare /path/to/there alias dotfiles="GIT_DIR=/path/to/there GIT_WORK_TREE=/path/to/here git" cd /path/to/here dotfiles add file dotfiles commit -a -m "add /path/to/here/file" ... lets you manage files under /path/to/here/ in the repository located at /path/to/there. git-submodule however fails to add submodules, as it is confused by GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when it tries to work in the submodule, like so: dotfiles submodule add http://path.to/submodule fatal: working tree '/path/to/here' already exists. Simply unsetting the environment where the command works on the submodule is sufficient to fix this, as it has set things up so that GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE do not even have to point at the repository and the working tree of the submodule.

Since 69c3051 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path) cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject. This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a wrong result. As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem. A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

2012-06-06submodule: fix handling of superproject origin URLs like foo, ./foo and ↵Libravatar Jon Seymour1-2/+12
./foo/bar Currently git submodule init and git submodule sync fail with an error if the superproject origin URL is of the form foo but succeed if the superproject origin URL is of the form ./foo or ./foo/bar or foo/bar. This change makes handling of the foo case behave like the handling of the ./foo case and also ensures that superfluous leading and embedded ./'s are removed from the resulting derived URLs.

2012-06-06submodule: fix sync handling of some relative superproject origin URLsLibravatar Jon Seymour1-5/+43
When the origin URL of the superproject is itself relative, git submodule sync configures the remote.origin.url configuration property of the submodule with a path that is relative to the work tree of the superproject rather than the work tree of the submodule. To fix this an 'up_path' that navigates from the work tree of the submodule to the work tree of the superproject needs to be prepended to the URL otherwise calculated. Correct handling of superproject origin URLs like foo, ./foo and ./foo/bar is left to a subsequent patch since an additional change is required to handle these cases. The documentation of resolve_relative_url() is expanded to give a more thorough description of the function's objective.

2012-05-29submodules: print "registered for path" message only onceLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-3/+4
Since 2cd9de3e (submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry) the message "Submodule '\$name' (\$url) registered for path '\$sm_path'" is printed every time cmd_init() is called, e.g. each time "git submodule update" is used with the --init option. This was not intended and leads to bogus output which can confuse users and build systems. Apart from that the $url variable was not set after the first run which did the actual initialization and only "()" was printed in subsequent runs where "($url)" was meant to inform the user about the upstream repo. Fix that by moving the say command in question into the if block where the url is initialized, restoring the behavior that was in place before the 2cd9de3e commit. While at it also remove the comment which still describes the logic used before 2cd9de3e and add a comment about how things work now.
