'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 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 submodule update --no-fetch makes it possible to use git submodule
update in complete offline mode by not fetching new revisions.
This does make sense in the following setup:
* There is an unstable and a stable branch in the super/master repository.
* The submodules might be at different revisions in the branches.
* You are at some place without internet connection ;)
With this patch it is now possible to change branches and update
the submodules to be at the recorded revision without online access.
Another advantage is that with -N the update operation is faster, because fetch is checking for new updates even if there was no fetch/pull on the super/master repository since the last update.

git clone does not complain if a trailing '/' is included in the origin
URL, but doing so causes resolution of a submodule's URL relative to the
superproject to fail. Trailing /'s are likely when cloning locally using
tab-completion, so the slash may appear in either superproject or
submodule URL. So, ignore the trailing slash if it already exists in
the superproject's URL, and don't record one for the submodule (which
could itself have submodules...).
The problem I'm trying to fix is that a number of folks have
superprojects checked out where the recorded origin URL has a trailing
/, and a submodule has its origin in a directory sitting right next to
the superproject on the server. Thus, we have:
superproject url = server:/public/super
submodoule url = server:/public/sub1
However, in the checked out superproject's .git/config
[remote "origin"]
url = server:/public/super/
and for similar reasons, the submodule has its URL recorded in .gitmodules as
[submodule "sub"]
path = submodule1
url = ../sub1/
resolve_relative_url gets the submodule's recorded url as $1, which
the caller retrieved from .gitmodules, and retrieves the superprojects
origin from .git/config. So in this case resolve_relative_url has
that:
url = ../sub1/
remoteurl = server:/public/super/
So, without any patch, resolve_relative_url computes the submodule's URL as:
server:/public/super/sub1/
rather than
server:/public/sub1
In summary, it is essential that resolve_relative_url strip the
trailing / from the superproject's url before starting, and
beneficial if it assures that the result does not contain
a trailing / as the submodule may itself also be a superproject.

submodule foreach <command-list> will execute the list of commands in
each currently checked out submodule directory. 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'.

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.

On Solaris it apparently fails to process input that doesn't end in a LF.
Consequently constructs like

cause re to be set to the empty string. Such a construct is used in

- 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)

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

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.

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.
