From 3604242f080a813d6f20a7394def422d1e55b30e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Beller Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 17:50:13 -0700 Subject: submodule: port init from shell to C By having the `submodule init` functionality in C, we can reference it easier from other parts in the code in later patches. The code is split up to have one function to initialize one submodule and a calling function that takes care of the rest, such as argument handling and translating the arguments to the paths of the submodules. This is the first submodule subcommand that is fully converted to C except for the usage string, so this is actually removing a call to the `submodule--helper list` function, which is supposed to be used in this transition. Instead we'll make a direct call to `module_list_compute`. An explanation why we need to edit the prefixes in cmd_update in git-submodule.sh in this patch: By having no processing in the shell part, we need to convey the notion of wt_prefix and prefix to the C parts, which former patches punted on and did the processing of displaying path in the shell. `wt_prefix` used to hold the path from the repository root to the current directory, e.g. wt_prefix would be t/ if the user invoked the `git submodule` command in ~/repo/t and ~repo is the GIT_DIR. `prefix` used to hold the relative path from the repository root to the operation, e.g. if you have recursive submodules, the shell script would modify the `prefix` in each recursive step by adding the submodule path. We will pass `wt_prefix` into the C helper via `git -C ` as that will setup git in the directory the user actually called git-submodule.sh from. The `prefix` will be passed in via the `--prefix` option. Having `prefix` and `wt_prefix` relative to the GIT_DIR of the calling superproject is unfortunate with this patch as the C code doesn't know about a possible recursion from a superproject via `submodule update --init --recursive`. To fix this, we change the meaning of `wt_prefix` to point to the current project instead of the superproject and `prefix` to include any relative paths issues in the superproject. That way `prefix` will become the leading part for displaying paths and `wt_prefix` will be empty in recursive calls for now. The new notion of `wt_prefix` and `prefix` still allows us to reconstruct the calling directory in the superproject by just traveling reverse of `prefix`.
