When adding a new submodule in place, meaning the user created the
submodule as a git repo in the superproject's tree first, we don't go
through "git submodule init" to register the module. Thus, the
submodule's origin repository URL is not stored in .git/config, and no
subsequent submodule operation will ever do so. In this case, assume the
URL the user supplies to "submodule add" is the one that should be
registered, and do so.

This change makes "submodule add" much more strict in the arguments it
takes, and is intended to address confusion as recently noted on the
git-list. With this change, the required syntax is:
$ git submodule add URL path
Specifically, this eliminates the form
$ git submodule add URL
which was confused by more than one person as
$ git submodule add path
With this patch, the URL locating the submodule's origin repository can be
either an absolute URL, or (if it begins with ./ or ../) can express the
submodule's repository location relative to the superproject's origin.
This patch also eliminates a third form of URL, which was relative to the
superproject's top-level directory (not its repository). Any URL that was
neither absolute nor matched ./*|../* was assumed to point to a
subdirectory of the superproject as the location of the submodule's origin
repository. This URL form was confusing and does not seem to correspond
to an important use-case. Specifically, no-one has identified the need to
clone from a repository already in the superproject's tree, but if this is
needed it is easily done using an absolute URL: $(pwd)/relative-path. So,
no functionality is lost with this patch. (t6008-rev-list-submodule.sh did
rely upon this relative URL, fixed by using $(pwd).)
Following this change, there are exactly four variants of
submodule-add, as both arguments have two flavors:
URL can be absolute, or can begin with ./|../ and thus names the
submodule's origin relative to the superproject's origin.
Note: With this patch, "submodule add" discerns an absolute URL as
matching /*|*:*: e.g., URL begins with /, or it contains a :. This works
for all valid URLs, an absolute path in POSIX, as well as an absolute path
on Windows).
path can either already exist as a valid git repo, or will be cloned from
the given URL. The first form here eases creation of a new submodule in
an existing superproject as the submodule can be added and tested in-tree
before pushing to the public repository. However, the more usual form is
the second, where the repo is cloned from the given URL.
This specifically addresses the issue of
$ git submodule add a/b/c
attempting to clone from a repository at "a/b/c" to create a new module
in "c". This also simplifies description of "relative URL" as there is now
exactly *one* form: a URL relative to the parent's origin repo.

The behaviour of "sed" on an incomplete line is unspecified by POSIX, and
On Solaris it apparently fails to process input that doesn't end in a LF.
Consequently constructs like
re=$(printf '%s' foo | sed -e 's/bar/BAR/g' $)
cause re to be set to the empty string. Such a construct is used in
git-submodule.sh.
Because the LF at the end of command output are stripped away by the
command substitution, it is a safe and sane change to add a LF at the end
of the printf format specifier.

This changes the search logic for describing a submodule from:
- annotated tag
- any tag
- tag on a subsequent commit
- commit id
to
- annotated tag
- any tag
- tag on a subsequent commit
- local or remote branch
- commit id
The change is describing with respect to a branch before falling
back to the commit id. By itself, git-submodule will maintain submodules
as headless checkouts without ever making a local branch. In
general, such heads can always be described relative to the remote branch
regardless of existence of tags, and so provides a better fallback
summary than just the commit id.
This requires inserting an extra describe step as --contains is
incompatible with --all, but the latter can be used with --always
to fall back to a commit ID. Also, --contains implies --tags, so the
latter is not needed.

System V versions of grep (such as Solaris /usr/bin/grep)
don't understand either of these options. git's usage of
"grep -e pattern" fell into one of two categories:
1. equivalent to "grep pattern". -e is only useful here if
the pattern begins with a "-", but all of the patterns
are hardcoded and do not begin with a dash.
2. stripping comments and blank lines with
grep -v -e "^$" -e "^#"
We can fortunately do this in the affirmative as
grep '^[^#]'
Uses of "-q" can be replaced with redirection to /dev/null.
In many tests, however, "grep -q" is used as "if this string
is in the expected output, we are OK". In this case, it is
fine to just remove the "-q" entirely; it simply makes the
"verbose" mode of the test slightly more verbose.

This patch does the hard work to show submodule commit summary.
For a modified submodule, a series of commits will be shown with
the following command:
git log --pretty='format:%m %s' \
--first-parent sha1_src...sha1_dst
where the sha1_src is from the given super project commit and the
sha1_dst is from the index or working tree (switched by --cached).
For a deleted, added, or typechanged (blob<->submodule) submodule,
only one single newest commit from the existing end (for example,
src end for submodule deleted or type changed from submodule to blob)
will be shown.
If the src/dst sha1 for a submodule is missing in the submodule
directory, a warning will be issued except in two cases where the
submodule directory is deleted (type 'D') or typechanged to blob
(one case of type 'T').
In the title line for a submodule, the src/dst sha1 and the number
of commits (--first-parent) between the two commits will be shown.
The following example demonstrates most cases.
Example: commit summary for modified submodules sm1-sm5.
--------------------------------------------
$ git submodule summary

These patches teach git-submodule a new subcommand 'summary' to show
commit summary of checked out submodules between a given super project
commit (defaults to HEAD) and working tree (or index, when --cached is
given).
This patch just introduces the framework to find submodules which have
summary to show. A submodule will have summary if it falls into these
cases:
- type 'M': modified and checked out (1)
- type 'A': added and checked out (2)
- type 'D': deleted
- type 'T': typechanged (blob <-> submodule)
Notes:
1. There may be modified but not checked out cases. In the case of a
merge conflict, even if the submodule is not checked out, there may
be still a diff between index and HEAD on the submodule entry
(i.e. modified). The summary will not be show for such a submodule.
2. A similar explanation applies to the added but not checked out case.

When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new
submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to
the top-level in place.
This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the
existing subdir to the current project. The presumption is the user will
later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future
submodule init / updates will work.
Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir
from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing
project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an
existing project. The former functionality remains, and the clone is
attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

The subcommand parser of "git submodule" made its subcommand
names reserved words. As a consequence, a command like this:
$ git submodule add init update
which is meant to add a submodule called 'init' at path 'update'
was misinterpreted as a request to invoke more than one mutually
incompatible subcommands and incorrectly rejected.
This patch fixes the issue by stopping the subcommand parsing at
the first subcommand word, to allow the sample command line
above to work as expected.
It also introduces the usual -- option disambiguator, so that a
submodule at path '-foo' can be updated with
$ git submodule update -- -foo

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with

body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It

of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
