2010-05-25git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variableLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+7
Add a $toplevel variable accessible to `git submodule foreach`, it contains the absolute path of the top level directory (where .gitmodules is). This makes it possible to e.g. read data in .gitmodules from within foreach commands. I'm using this to configure the branch names I want to track for each submodule: git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull' For a little history: This patch is borne out of my continuing fight of trying to have Git track the branches of submodules, not just their commits. Obviously that's not how they work (they only track commits), but I'm just interested in being able to do: git submodule foreach 'git pull' Of course that won't work because the submodule is in a disconnected head, so I first have to connect it, but connect it *to what*. For a while I was happy with this because as fate had it, it just so happened to do what I meant: git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git describe --all --always) && git pull' But then that broke down, if there's a tag and a branch the tag will win out, and I can't git pull a branch: $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master $ git tag -l release-0.0.6 $ git describe --always --all release-0.0.6 So I figured that I might as well start tracking the branches I want in .gitmodules itself: [submodule "yaml-mode"] path = yaml-mode url = git://github.com/yoshiki/yaml-mode.git branch = master So now I can just do (as stated above): git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull' Maybe there's a less painful way to do *that* (I'd love to hear about it). But regardless of that I think it's a good idea to be able to know what the top-level is from git submodule foreach.

2009-08-20git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodulesLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+12
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for developers on such projects is: git clone url/to/project cd project git submodule update --init (--recursive) This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence can be reduced to: git clone --recursive url/to/project --recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone. The patch also includes documentation and a selftest. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-20t7407: Use 'rev-parse --short' rather than bash's substring expansion notationLibravatar Johan Herland1-2/+4
The substring expansion notation is a bashism that we have not so far adopted. Use 'git rev-parse --short' instead, as this also handles the case where the unique abbreviation is longer than 7 characters. Also fix the typo; the object name for submodule #2 was copied from submodule #1's by mistake.

2009-08-18git submodule status: Add --recursive to recurse into nested submodulesLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+26
In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter nested submodules. In these situations, it is valuable to not only show status for all the submodules in the current repo (which is what is currently done by 'git submodule status'), but also to show status for all submodules at all levels (i.e. recursing into nested submodules as well). This patch teaches the new --recursive option to the 'git submodule status' command. The patch also includes documentation and selftests.

2009-08-18git submodule update: Introduce --recursive to update nested submodulesLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+19
In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter nested submodules. In these situations, it is valuable to not only update the submodules in the current repo (which is what is currently done by 'git submodule update'), but also to operate on all submodules at all levels (i.e. recursing into nested submodules as well). This patch teaches the new --recursive option to the 'git submodule update' command. The patch also includes documentation and selftests.
