2012-11-18submodule: display summary header in boldLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-4/+4
Currently, 'git diff --submodule' displays output with a bold diff header for non-submodules. So this part is in bold: diff --git a/file1 b/file1 index 30b2f6c..2638038 100644 --- a/file1 +++ b/file1 For submodules, the header looks like this: Submodule submodule1 012b072..248d0fd: Unfortunately, it's easy to miss in the output because it's not bold.

2012-10-29Merge branch 'jl/submodule-rm'Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+80
"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. * jl/submodule-rm: submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
2012-09-29submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directoryLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+80
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.

2012-09-02submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arraysLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-15/+16
fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get replaced with those currently valid. However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the argv_array just before the run_command() call (including the option separating them) and pop them from the argv_array right after that.

2011-09-14refactor argv_array into generic codeLibravatar Jeff King1-35/+6
The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse this, too, so let's make it generically available. There are two enhancements not found in the original code: 1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly, even when no strings have been pushed (before, you could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem for the submodule code, which always pushed at least one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for generic code. 2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function. This is a convenience function which was not needed by the submodule code, but will make it easier to port other users to the new code.

2011-09-12fetch: avoid quadratic loop checking for updated submodulesLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+72
Recent versions of git can be slow to fetch repositories with a large number of refs (or when they already have a large number of refs). For example, GitHub makes pull-requests available as refs, which can lead to a large number of available refs. This slowness goes away when submodule recursion is turned off: $ git ls-remote git://github.com/rails/rails.git | wc -l 3034 [this takes ~10 seconds of CPU time to complete] git fetch --recurse-submodules=no \ git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*" [this still isn't done after 10 _minutes_ of pegging the CPU] git fetch \ git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*" You can produce a quicker and simpler test case like this: doit() { head=`git rev-parse HEAD` for i in `seq 1 $1`; do echo $head refs/heads/ref$i done >.git/packed-refs echo "==> $1" rm -rf dest git init -q --bare dest && (cd dest && time git.compile fetch -q .. refs/*:refs/*) } rm -rf repo git init -q repo && cd repo && >file && git add file && git commit -q -m one doit 100 doit 200 doit 400 doit 800 doit 1600 doit 3200 Which yields timings like: # refs seconds of CPU 100 0.06 200 0.24 400 0.95 800 3.39 1600 13.66 3200 54.09 Notice that although the number of refs doubles in each trial, the CPU time spent quadruples. The problem is that the submodule recursion code works something like: - for each ref we fetch - for each commit in git rev-list $new_sha1 --not --all - add modified submodules to list - fetch any newly referenced submodules But that means if we fetch N refs, we start N revision walks. Worse, because we use "--all", the number of refs we must process that constitute "--all" keeps growing, too. And you end up doing O(N^2) ref resolutions. Instead, this patch structures the code like this: - for each sha1 we already have - add $old_sha1 to list $old - for each ref we fetch - add $new_sha1 to list $new - for each commit in git rev-list $new --not $old - add modified submodules to list - fetch any newly referenced submodules This yields timings like: # refs seconds of CPU 100 0.00 200 0.04 400 0.04 800 0.10 1600 0.21 3200 0.39 Note that the amount of effort doubles as the number of refs doubles.

When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available on the server. This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When using this option git will check that all submodule commits that are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule.

2011-05-14Submodules: Don't parse .gitmodules when it contains, merge conflictsLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+29
Commands like "git status", "git diff" and "git fetch" would fail when the .gitmodules file contained merge conflicts because the config parser would call die() when hitting the conflict markers: "fatal: bad config file line <n> in <path>/.gitmodules" While this behavior was on the safe side, it is really unhelpful to the user to have commands like status and diff fail, as these are needed to find out what's going on. And the error message is only mildly helpful, as it points to the right file but doesn't mention that it is unmerged. Users of git gui were not shown any conflicts at all when this happened. Improve the situation by checking if the index records .gitmodules as unmerged. When that is the case we can't make any assumptions about the configuration to be found there after the merge conflict is resolved by the user, so assume that all recursion is disabled unless .git/config or the global config say otherwise. As soon as the merge conflict is resolved and the .gitmodules file has been staged subsequent commands again honor any configuration done there.

2011-03-09fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessaryLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-7/+99
To be able to access all commits of populated submodules referenced by the superproject it is sufficient to only then let "git fetch" recurse into a submodule when the new commits fetched in the superproject record new commits for it. Having these commits present is extremely useful when using the "--submodule" option to "git diff" (which is what "git gui" and "gitk" do since 1.6.6), as all submodule commits needed for creating a descriptive output can be accessed. Also merging submodule commits (added in 1.7.3) depends on the submodule commits in question being present to work. Last but not least this enables disconnected operation when using submodules, as all commits necessary for a successful "git submodule update -N" will have been fetched automatically. So we choose this mode as the default for fetch and pull. Before a new or changed ref from upstream is updated in update_local_ref() "git rev-list <new-sha1> --not --branches --remotes" is used to determine all newly fetched commits. These are then walked and diffed against their parent(s) to see if a submodule has been changed. If that is the case, its path is stored to be fetched after the superproject fetch is completed. Using the "--recurse-submodules" or the "--no-recurse-submodules" option disables the examination of the fetched refs because the result will be ignored anyway. There is currently no infrastructure for storing deleted and new submodules in the .git directory of the superproject. That's why fetch and pull for now only fetch submodules that are already checked out and are not renamed. In t7403 the "--no-recurse-submodules" argument had to be added to "git pull" to avoid failure because of the moved upstream submodule repo.

2010-11-12Submodules: Add the "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+18
The new boolean "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option controls the behavior for "git fetch" and "git pull". It specifies if these commands should recurse into submodules and fetch new commits there too and can be set separately for each submodule. In the .gitmodules file "submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules" entries are read before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the user to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set reasonable defaults for those users who don't have special needs. This configuration can be overridden by the command line option "--[no-]recurse-submodules" of "git fetch" and "git pull".

2010-11-12Add the 'fetch.recurseSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+17
This new boolean option can be used to override the default for "git fetch" and "git pull", which is to not recurse into populated submodules and fetch all new commits there too. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-12fetch/pull: Add the --recurse-submodules optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+65
Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch new commits in populated submodules from their remote. This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of "git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to discover later that they are needed. This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index. The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

2010-08-09Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous (< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk caches are constantly overloaded. To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it is per-submodule. This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default (porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore setting and by the --ignore-submodules option. Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic: multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously set flags. While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
