| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge commits that touch paths in the given pathspec. This is useful to view both sides of a merge in a topology like this: A---M---o / / ---O---B even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths. The revision traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can be pruned away. The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor B touches the paths we are interested in. --full-history reduces the topology to: ---O---M---o in such a case, without removing M. This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to remove needless merges from the resulting history. The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set, the commit that should replace it in the simplified history. The commit to replace it in the final history is determined as follows: * In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of the commit we are looking at. The commit we are looking at is rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its parents. While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent. * After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit, an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself. In other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result. The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in the bottom up direction. We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only after we know how all of its parents are rewritten. This means that the processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

The list of commands is arbitrary as long as it is acceptable to sh. The variables '$path' and '$sha1' are availble to the command-list, defining the submodule path relative to the superproject and the submodules's commitID as recorded in the superproject (this may be different than HEAD in the submodule). This utility is inspired by a number of threads on the mailing list looking for ways to better integrate submodules in a tree and work with them as a unit. This could include fetching a new branch in each from a given source, or possibly checking out a given named branch in each. Currently, there is no consensus as to what additional commands should be implemented in the porcelain, requiring all users whose needs exceed that of git-submodule to do their own scripting. The foreach command is intended to support such scripting, and in particular does no error checking and produces no output, thus allowing end users complete control over any information printed out and over what constitutes an error. The processing does terminate if the command-list returns an error, but processing can easily be forced for all submodules be terminating the list with ';true'.
