Currently we keep getting questions even when the user has properly
configured his full name and password:
Who should the emails appear to be from?
[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>]
And once a question pops up, other questions are turned on. This is
annoying.
The reason it's safe to avoid this question is because currently the
script fails completely when the author (or committer) is not correct,
so we won't even be reaching this point in the code.
The scenarios, and the current situation:
1) No information at all, no fully qualified domain name
fatal: empty ident name (for <felipec@nysa.(none)>) not allowed
2) Only full name
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'felipec@nysa.(none)')
3) Full name + fqdm
Who should the emails appear to be from?
[Felipe Contreras <felipec@nysa.felipec.org>]
4) Full name + EMAIL
Who should the emails appear to be from?
[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>]
5) User configured
6) GIT_COMMITTER
7) GIT_AUTHOR
All these are the same as 4)
After this patch:
1) 2) won't change: git send-email would still die
4) 5) 6) 7) will change: git send-email won't ask the user
This is good, that's what we would expect, because the identity is
explicit.
3) will change: git send-email won't ask the user
This is bad, because we will try with an address such as
'felipec@nysa.felipec.org', which is most likely not what the user
wants, but the user will get warned by default (confirm=auto), and if
not, most likely the sending won't work, which the user would readily
note and fix.
The worst possible scenario is that such mail address does work, and the
user sends an email from that address unintentionally, when in fact the
user expected to correct that address in the prompt. This is a very,
very, very unlikely scenario, with many dependencies:
1) No configured user.name/user.email
2) No specified $EMAIL
3) No configured sendemail.from
4) No specified --from argument
5) A fully qualified domain name
6) A full name in the geckos field
7) A sendmail configuration that allows sending from this domain name
8) confirm=never, or
8.1) confirm configuration not hitting, or
8.2) Getting the error, not being aware of it
9) The user expecting to correct this address in the prompt
In a more likely scenario where 7) is not the case (can't send from
nysa.felipec.org), the user will simply see the mail was not sent
properly, and fix the problem.
The much more likely scenario though, is where 5) is not the case
(nysa.(none)), and git send-email will fail right away like it does now.
So the likelihood of this affecting anybody seriously is very very slim,
and the chances of this affecting somebody slightly are still very
small. The vast majority, if not all, of git users won't be affected
negatively, and a lot will benefit from this.

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.
* jl/submodule-add-by-name:
submodule add: Fail when .git/modules/<name> already exists unless forced
Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
"git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as
its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even
have its repository embedded in it. Teach it some special cases
where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is
no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository
is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the
gitfile mechanism to point at it.

When renaming orig_args to orig_flags in 98dbe63d (submodule: only
preserve flags across recursive status/update invocations) the call site
of the recursive cmd_status was forgotten. At that place orig_args is
still passed into the recursion, which is always empty since then. This
did not break anything because the orig_flags logic is not needed at all
when a function from the submodule script is called with eval, as that
inherits all the variables set by the option parsing done in the first
level of the recursion.
Now that we know that orig_flags and orig_args aren't needed at all,
let's just remove them from cmd_status().

A test in t7404-submodule-foreach purports to test that
the --cached flag is properly noticed by --recursive calls
to the foreach command as it descends into nested
submodules. However, the test really does not perform this
test since the change it looks for is in a top-level
submodule handled by the first invocation of the command.
To properly test for the flag being passed to recursive
invocations, the change must be buried deeper in the
hierarchy.
Move the change one level deeper so it properly verifies
the recursive machinery of the 'git submodule status'
command.

Use string_list_split_in_place() to split the comma-separated
parameters string. This simplifies the code and also fixes a bug: the
old code made calls like
memcmp(p, "lines", p_len)
which needn't work if p_len is different than the length of the
constant string (and could illegally access memory if p_len is larger
than the length of the constant string).
When p_len was less than the length of the constant string, the old
code would have allowed some abbreviations to be accepted (e.g., "cha"
for "changes") but this seems to have been a bug rather than a
feature, because (1) it is not documented; (2) no attempt was made to
handle ambiguous abbreviations, like "c" for "changes" vs
"cumulative".

complains of a one-byte buffer underflow in parse_name_and_email() while
running the test suite. And indeed, if one of the lines in the mailmap
