| * git submodule: Remove now obsolete tests before cloning a repoJens Lehmann2010-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 55892d23 "git clone" itself checks that the destination path is not a file but an empty directory if it exists, so there is no need anymore for module_clone() to check that too. Two tests have been added to test the behavior of "git submodule add" when path is a file or a directory (A subshell had to be added to the former last test to stay in the right directory).

| * | submodule: only preserve flags across recursive status/update invocationsKevin Ballard2010-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recursive invocations of submodule update/status preserve all arguments, so executing git submodule update --recursive -- foo attempts to recursively update a submodule named "foo". Naturally, this fails as one cannot have an infinitely-deep stack of submodules each containing a submodule named "foo". The desired behavior is instead to update foo and then recursively update all submodules inside of foo. This commit accomplishes that by only saving the flags for use in the recursive invocation.

* git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored pathsJens Lehmann2010-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add" ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force" is introduced.

* git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2010-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git add --force'. I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just "*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree already. When I do: git submodule add <url> hlagh git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the new path: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: hlagh Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added Failed to add submodule 'hlagh' Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it. That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead it should just add the path with `git add --force'. Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to `git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it. So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then try again with the --force option. That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out `git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * git submodule: ignore dirty submodules for summary and statusJens Lehmann2010-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The summary and status commands only care about submodule commits, so it is rather pointless that they check for dirty work trees. This saves the time needed to scan the submodules work tree. Even "git status" profits from these savings when the status.submodulesummary config option is set, as this lead to traversing the submodule work trees twice, once for status and once again for the submodule summary. And if the submodule was just dirty, submodule summary produced rather meaningless output anyway: * sub 1234567...1234567 (0): Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variableÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2010-05-25

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.

This would lead to failures e.g. when GIT_WORK_TREE was set. This only happened in very unusual contexts such as operating on the main worktree from outside of it, but since "git-gui: set GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE after setup" (a9fa11fe5bd5978bb) such failures could also be provoked by invoking an external tool such as "git submodule update" from the Git Gui in a standard setup.

The output of "submodule summary --for-status" has been changed from "# Modified submodules:" to "# Submodule changes to be committed:" for the already staged changes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines, by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use. The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the hook scripts to protect themselves. On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly. The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment variable globally will allow this use case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | '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: add support for --rebase.Peter Hutterer2009-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | '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. git-config key: submodule.$name.rebase (bool) Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make 'git submodule add' normalize the submodule path in the same way as 'git ls-files' does, so that 'git submodule init' looks up the information in .gitmodules with the same key under which 'git submodule add' stores it.
