"git submodule update", when recursed into sub-submodules, did not
acccumulate the prefix paths.
* we/submodule-update-prefix-output:
submodule update: when using recursion, show full path
|
|
When a remote ref or a tag is checked out, HEAD is automatically
detached. There is no user-friendly way to find out what ref is
checked out in this case. This patch digs in reflog for this
information and shows "HEAD detached from origin/master" or "HEAD
detached at v1.8.0" instead of "currently not on any branch".
When it cannot figure out the original ref, it shows an abbreviated
SHA-1. "Currently not on any branch" would never display (unless
reflog is pruned to near empty that the last checkout entry is lost).

Previously when using update with recursion, only the path for the
inner-most module was printed. Now the path is printed relative to
the directory the command was started from. This now matches the
behavior of submodule foreach.

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

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.

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.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing
repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the
submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a
strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset
to HEAD.

The test happened to use "rev-parse --max-count=1 HEAD" consistently
to prepare the expected output and the actual output, so the
comparison between them gave us a correct success/failure because
both output had irrelevant "--max-count=1" in it.
But that is not an excuse to keep it broken. Replace it a more
meaningful construct "rev-parse --verify HEAD".

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.

In module_clone() the rel_gitdir variable was computed differently when
"git rev-parse --git-dir" returned a relative path than when it returned
an absolute path. This is not optimal, as different code paths are used
depending on the return value of that command.
Fix that by reusing the differing path components computed for setting the
core.worktree config setting, which leaves a single code path for setting
both instead of having three and makes the code much shorter.
This also fixes the bug that in the computation of how many directories
have to be traversed up to hit the root directory of the submodule the
name of the submodule was used where the path should have been used. This
lead to problems after renaming submodules into another directory level.
Even though the "(cd $somewhere && pwd)" approach breaks the flexibility
of symlinks, that is no issue here as we have to have one relative path
pointing from the work tree to the gitdir and another pointing back, which
will never work anyway when a symlink along one of those paths is changed
because the directory it points to was moved.
Also add a test moving a submodule into a deeper directory to catch any
future breakage here and to document what has to be done when a submodule
needs to be moved until git mv learns to do that. Simply moving it to the
new location doesn't work, as the core.worktree and possibly the gitfile
setting too will be wrong. So it has to be removed from filesystem and
index, then the new location has to be added into the index and the
.gitmodules file has to be updated. After that a git submodule update will
check out the submodule at the new location.

Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there.
When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily
uses the - now empty - name. It then always points only a single directory
up, even if we have a path deeper in the directory hierarchy.
Fix that by initializing the name of the submodule early in module_clone()
if module_name() returned an empty name and add a test to catch that bug.

* hv/submodule-update-none:
add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule by default
submodule: move update configuration variable further up
|
|
Move git-dir for submodules into $GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule] of
the superproject. This is a step towards being able to delete submodule
directories without loosing the information from their .git directory
as that is now stored outside the submodules work tree.
This is done relying on the already existent .git-file functionality.
When adding or updating a submodule whose git directory is found under
$GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule], don't clone it again but simply
point the .git-file to it and remove the now stale index file from it.
The index will be recreated by the following checkout.
This patch will not affect already cloned submodules at all.
Tests that rely on .git being a directory have been fixed.

"git submodule update" stops at the first error and gives control
back to the user. Only after the user fixes the problematic
submodule and runs "git submodule update" again, the second error
is found. And the user needs to repeat until all the problems are
found and fixed one by one. This is tedious.
Instead, the command can remember which submodules it had trouble with,
continue updating the ones it can, and report which ones had errors at
the end. The user can run "git submodule update", find all the ones that
need minor fixing (e.g. working tree was dirty) to fix them in a single
pass. Then another "git submodule update" can be run to update all.
Note that the problematic submodules are skipped only when they are to
be integrated with a safer value of submodule.<name>.update option,
namely "checkout". Fixing a failure in a submodule that uses "rebase" or
"merge" may need an involved conflict resolution by the user, and
leaving too many submodules in states that need resolution would not
reduce the mental burden on the user.

By default git submodule update runs a simple checkout on submodules that

submodule foreach --recursive git checkout -f' and then run 'git submodule

This patch adds a --force option for the update command (only used for
submodules without --rebase or --merge options). It passes the --force
option to git checkout which will throw away the local changes.

If the commit to be checked out on "git submodule update" has already been
fetched in the submodule there is no need to run "git fetch" again. Since
"git fetch" recently learned recursion (and the new on-demand mode to
fetch commits recorded in the superproject is enabled by default) this
will happen pretty often, thereby making the unconditional fetch during
"git submodule update" unnecessary.
If the commit is not present in the submodule (e.g. the user disabled the
fetch on-demand mode) the fetch will be run as before.

These tests have been broken since they were introduced in commits
ca2cedb (git-submodule: add support for --rebase., 2009-04-24) and
42b4917 (git-submodule: add support for --merge., 2009-06-03).
'git submodule init' expects the submodules to exist in the index.
In this case, the submodules don't exist and therefore looking for
the submodules will always fail. To make matters worse, git submodule
fails visibly to the user by saying:
error: pathspec 'rebasing' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
but doesn't return an error code. This allows the test to fail silently.
Fix it by adding the submodules first.

'git submodule update --merge' merges the commit referenced by the
superproject into your local branch, instead of checking it out on
a detached HEAD.
As evidenced by the addition of "git submodule update --rebase", it
is useful to provide alternatives to the default 'checkout' behaviour
of "git submodule update". One such alternative is, when updating a
submodule to a new commit, to merge that commit into the current
local branch in that submodule. This is useful in workflows where
you want to update your submodule from its upstream, but you cannot
use --rebase, because you have downstream people working on top of
your submodule branch, and you don't want to disrupt their work.

The addition of "submodule.<name>.rebase" demonstrates the usefulness of
alternatives to the default behaviour of "git submodule update". However,
by naming the config variable "submodule.<name>.rebase", and making it a
boolean choice, we are artificially constraining future git versions that
may want to add _more_ alternatives than just "rebase".
Therefore, while "submodule.<name>.rebase" is not yet in a stable git
release, future-proof it, by changing it from
submodule.<name>.rebase = true/false
to
submodule.<name>.update = rebase/checkout
where "checkout" specifies the default behaviour of "git submodule update"
(checking out the new commit to a detached HEAD), and "rebase" specifies
the --rebase behaviour (where the current local branch in the submodule is
rebase onto the new commit). Thus .update == checkout is equivalent to
.rebase == false, and .update == rebase is equivalent to .rebase == true.
Finally, leaving .update unset is equivalent to leaving .rebase unset.
In future git versions, other alternatives to "git submodule update"
behaviour can be included by adding them to the list of allowable values
for the submodule.<name>.update variable.

'git submodule update --rebase' rebases your local branch on top of what
would have been checked out to a detached HEAD otherwise.
In some cases, detaching the HEAD when updating a submodule complicates
the workflow to commit to this submodule (checkout master, rebase, then
commit). For submodules that require frequent updates but infrequent
(if any) commits, a rebase can be executed directly by the git-submodule
command, ensuring that the submodules stay on their respective branches.
