b03b41e24c Merge branch 'jl/submodule-deinit'
There was no Porcelain way to say "I no longer am interested in
this submodule", once you express your interest in a submodule with
"submodule init".  "submodule deinit" is the way to do so.

  submodule: add 'deinit' command

cf41982806 submodule: add 'deinit' command
With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one
or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git
submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he
does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local
work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the
"submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config together with the work tree
himself).

Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the
whole submodule.<name> section from .git/config (either for the given
submodule(s) or for all those which have been initialized if '.' is used)
together with their work tree. Fail if the current work tree contains
modifications (unless forced), but don't complain when either the work
tree is already removed or no settings are found in .git/config.

Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm"
to assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the
submodule is the right thing to do for him. Also add the deinit subcommand
to the completion list.

b928922727 submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules
This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in
.gitmodules when you add a new submodule.  With this patch,

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
  $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

  $ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the
submodule, which is usually what you want.

06b1abb5bd submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d86
  Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

fdb4d27158 Merge branch 'jl/submodule-add-by-name'
If you remove a submodule, in order to keep the repository so that
"git checkout" to an older commit in the superproject history can
resurrect the submodule, the real repository will stay in $GIT_DIR
of the superproject.  A later "git submodule add $path" to add a
different submodule at the same path will fail.  Diagnose this case
a bit better, and if the user really wants to add an unrelated
submodule at the same path, give the "--name" option to give it a
place in $GIT_DIR of the superproject that does not conflict with
the original submodule.

73b0898d0d Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.

Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).

To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

af9c9f9713 submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action.  This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour.  A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.

    $ git submodule show
    error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    Did you forget to 'git add'?

Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand.  "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.

Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing
repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the
submodule is dirty.  As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a
strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset

2011-06-29 09:25:51 -07:00
Jonathan Nieder
565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

List of lines to fix found by grepping manpages for "(em".

ccee60862b submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule
Earlier 33f072f (submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty
directories, 2010-10-08) attempted to fix a bug where "git submodule sync"
command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have
a checkout of the submodule.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never
showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This
caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only
for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the
ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

Adding a submodule with a relative repository path did only succeed when
the superproject's default remote was set. But when that is unset, the
superproject is its own authoritative upstream, so lets use its working
directory as upstream instead.

This allows users to set up a new superpoject where the submodules urls
are configured relative to the superproject's upstream while its default
remote can be configured later.

9db31bdf5c submodule: Add --force option for git submodule update
By default git submodule update runs a simple checkout on submodules that
are not up-to-date. If the submodules contains modified or untracked
files, the command may exit sanely with an error:

  $ git submodule update
  error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by

  Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
  Aborting
  Unable to checkout '1b69c6e55606b48d3284a3a9efe4b58bfb7e8c9e' in
  submodule path 'test1'

In order to reset a whole git submodule tree, a user has to run first 'git
submodule foreach --recursive git checkout -f' and then run 'git submodule
update'.

This patch adds a --force option for the update command (only used for
submodules without --rebase or --merge options). It passes the --force
option to git checkout which will throw away the local changes.

313ee0d69f submodule: process conflicting submodules only once
During a merge module_list returns conflicting submodules several times
(stage 1,2,3) which caused the submodules to be used multiple times in
git submodule init, sync, update and status command.

There are 5 callers of module_list; they all read (mode, sha1, stage,
path) tuple, and most of them care only about path.  As a first level
approximation, it should be Ok (in the sense that it does not make things
worse than it currently is) to filter the duplicate paths from module_list
output, but some callers should change their behaviour when the merge in
the superproject still has conflicts.

Notice the higher-stage entries, and emit only one record from
module_list, but while doing so, mark the entry with "U" (not [0-3]) in
the $stage field and null out the SHA-1 part, as the object name for the
lowest stage does not give any useful information to the caller, and this
way any caller that uses the object name would hopefully barf.  Then
update the codepaths for each subcommands this way:

 - "update" should not touch the submodule repository, because we do not
   know what commit should be checked out yet.

 - "status" reports the conflicting submodules as 'U000...000' and does
   not recurse into them (we might later want to make it recurse).

 - The command called by "foreach" may want to do whatever it wants to do
   by noticing the merged status in the superproject itself, so feed the
   path to it from module_list as before, but only once per submodule.

 - "init" and "sync" are unlikely things to do while the superproject is
   still not merged, but as long as a submodule is there in $path, there
   is no point skipping it. It might however want to take the merged
   status of .gitmodules into account, but that is outside of the scope of
   this topic.

48bb914ed6 doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
The point of these sections is generally to:

  1. Give credit where it is due.

  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame.  For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

d27b876b28 git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored paths
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.

31991b0260 git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>
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'.

f030c96d86 git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Add a $toplevel variable accessible to `git submodule foreach`, it
contains the absolute path of the top level directory (where
.gitmodules is).

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.

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

ca768288b6 Documentation: format full commands in typewriter font
Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...`
according to the following rules:

* The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched.

* If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it
  is `code`.
  If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it
  remains 'emphasised'.

64b19ffedd git submodule status: Add --recursive to recurse into nested submodules
In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter
nested submodules. In these situations, it is valuable to not only show
status for all the submodules in the current repo (which is what is
currently done by 'git submodule status'), but also to show status for
all submodules at all levels (i.e. recursing into nested submodules as
well).

This patch teaches the new --recursive option to the 'git submodule status'
command. The patch also includes documentation and selftests.

git submodule summary is providing similar functionality for submodules as
git diff-index does for a git project (including the meaning of --cached).
But the analogon to git diff-files is missing, so add a --files option to
summarize the differences between the index of the super project and the
last commit checked out in the working tree of the submodule.
