| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a subshell for just one git command is both a waste in compute overhead (create a new process) as well as in line count.

* | Merge branch 'sb/clone-shallow-passthru'Junio C Hamano2016-07-06
|\ \ | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth" that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream of the submodules are not prepared for. * sb/clone-shallow-passthru: clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned shallowly. This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a branch, and we know the world is not yet ready. Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules" option.

* | submodule update: learn `--[no-]recommend-shallow` optionStefan Beller2016-05-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes the history of a submodule is not considered important by the projects upstream. To make it easier for downstream users, allow a boolean field 'submodule.<name>.shallow' in .gitmodules, which can be used to recommend whether upstream considers the history important. This field is honored in the initial clone by default, it can be ignored by giving the `--no-recommend-shallow` option.

* clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flagStefan Beller2016-04-26
When creating a shallow clone of a repository with submodules, the depth argument does not influence the submodules, i.e. the submodules are done as non-shallow clones. It is unclear what the best default is for the depth of submodules of a shallow clone, so we need to have the possibility to do all kinds of combinations: * shallow super project with shallow submodules e.g. build bots starting always from scratch. They want to transmit the least amount of network data as well as using the least amount of space on their hard drive. * shallow super project with unshallow submodules e.g. The superproject is just there to track a collection of repositories and it is not important to have the relationship between the repositories intact. However the history of the individual submodules matter. * unshallow super project with shallow submodules e.g. The superproject is the actual project and the submodule is a library which is rarely touched. The new switch to select submodules to be shallow or unshallow supports all of these three cases. It is easy to transition from the first to the second case by just unshallowing the submodules (`git submodule foreach git fetch --unshallow`), but it is not possible to transition from the second to the first case (as we would have already transmitted the non shallow over the network). That is why we want to make the first case the default in case of a shallow super project. This leads to the inconvenience in the second case with the shallow super project and unshallow submodules, as you need to pass `--no-shallow-submodules`.
