e1622bfcba Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
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.

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.

42b4917862 git-submodule: add support for --merge.
'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.

329484256e Rename submodule.<name>.rebase to submodule.<name>.update
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.

ca2cedba70 git-submodule: add support for --rebase.
'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.

31ca3ac30f submodule: add --no-fetch parameter to update command
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.

99b120af70 git-submodule.sh - Remove trailing / from URL if found
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.

19a31f9c1a git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand
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'.

into cmd_init and then again outside of the loop. This causes some /bin/sh
to complain about shifting when there are no arguments left (and would
discard anything written after -i too).

c2f939170c git-submodule - register submodule URL if adding in place
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.

ec05df353c git-submodule - make "submodule add" more strict, and document it
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.

git-submodule add would trip if path to the submodule included a space,
or if its .git was a gitdir: link to a GIT_DIR kept elsewhere. Fix both.

8e7e6f39b6 git-submodule - Fix errors regarding resolve_relative_url
git-submodule was invoking "die" from within resolve-relative-url, but
this does not actually cause the script to exit. Fix this by returning
the error to the caller and have the caller exit.

While we're at it, clean up the quoting on invocation of
resolve_relative_url as it was wrong.

fe22e5420e Improve sed portability
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.

be4d2c83b6 submodule update: add convenience option --init
When a submodule is not initialized and you do not want to change the
defaults from .gitmodules anyway, you can now say

	$ git submodule update --init <name>

When "update" is called without --init on an uninitialized submodule,
a hint to use --init is printed.

'git config' has a '-f' option that takes the file to parse.
Using it rather than the environment variable seems more logical
