branch: add --recurse-submodules option for branch creation To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the --recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its submodules. Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches. Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value, `submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function unless this configuration value is set. This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are: * add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and initializes the repository * add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to is_submodule_active() * add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the submodules in their trees Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list' usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use parse_options., 2007-10-07).

branch: add branch_checked_out() helper The validate_new_branchname() method contains a check to see if a branch is checked out in any non-bare worktree. This is intended to prevent a force push that will mess up an existing checkout. This helper is not suitable to performing just that check, because the method will die() when the branch is checked out instead of returning an error code. Create a new branch_checked_out() helper that performs the most basic form of this check. To ensure we can call branch_checked_out() in a loop with good performance, do a single preparation step that iterates over all worktrees and stores their current HEAD branches in a strmap. The branch_checked_out() helper can then discover these branches using a hash lookup. This helper is currently missing some key functionality. Namely: it doesn't look for active rebases or bisects which mean that the branch is "checked out" even though HEAD doesn't point to that ref. This functionality will be added in a coming change. We could use branch_checked_out() in validate_new_branchname(), but this missing functionality would be a regression. However, we have no tests that cover this case! Add a new test script that will be expanded with these cross-worktree ref updates. The current tests would still pass if we refactored validate_new_branchname() to use this version of branch_checked_out(). The next change will fix that functionality and add the proper test coverage. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options. There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens: a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch. When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and (amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD". If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them. When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch, they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull working out of the box. The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature branch on that same remote. (merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it, are separate more involved processes in this flow). There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of changes!) An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'" message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a GUI. Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both situations. Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote" workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name "push.default" option that makes similar assumptions. This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local branch name). Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error. With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch - which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify --set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them. This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such users are likely to prefer keeping the current default merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to "current". Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases, and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

They didn't necessarily even notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'" message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a GUI. Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both situations. Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote" workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name "push.default" option that makes similar assumptions. This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local branch name). Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error. With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch - which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify --set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them. This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such users are likely to prefer keeping the current default merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to "current". Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases, and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options. There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens: a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch. When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and (amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD". If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them. When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch, they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull working out of the box. The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature branch on that same remote. (merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it, are separate more involved processes in this flow). There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of changes!)

branch: add branch_checked_out() helper The validate_new_branchname() method contains a check to see if a branch is checked out in any non-bare worktree. This is intended to prevent a force push that will mess up an existing checkout. This helper is not suitable to performing just that check, because the method will die() when the branch is checked out instead of returning an error code. Create a new branch_checked_out() helper that performs the most basic form of this check. To ensure we can call branch_checked_out() in a loop with good performance, do a single preparation step that iterates over all worktrees and stores their current HEAD branches in a strmap. The branch_checked_out() helper can then discover these branches using a hash lookup. This helper is currently missing some key functionality. Namely: it doesn't look for active rebases or bisects which mean that the branch is "checked out" even though HEAD doesn't point to that ref. This functionality will be added in a coming change. We could use branch_checked_out() in validate_new_branchname(), but this missing functionality would be a regression. However, we have no tests that cover this case! Add a new test script that will be expanded with these cross-worktree ref updates.

branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/* The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other cases: - If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote (i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running "git branch baz --track foo/bar". - If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*" then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*. This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches, and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name that can be used for the upstream config. However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams. The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has already been fixed in the preceding patches. This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.

branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref name When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration. It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream relationship from being formed. Furthermore: - We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*. - The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo. Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative effect on the rest of the test suite. This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/* The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other cases: - If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote (i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running "git branch baz --track foo/bar". - If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*" then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*. This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches, and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name that can be used for the upstream config. However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams. The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has already been fixed in the preceding patches. This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.

branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options. There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens: a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch. When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and (amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD". If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them. When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch, they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull working out of the box. The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature branch on that same remote. (merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it, are separate more involved processes in this flow). There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of changes!) An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'" message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a GUI. Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both situations. Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote" workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name "push.default" option that makes similar assumptions. This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local branch name). Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error. With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch - which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify --set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them. This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such users are likely to prefer keeping the current default merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to "current". Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases, and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

branch: add --recurse-submodules option for branch creation To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the --recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its submodules. Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches. Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value, `submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function unless this configuration value is set. This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are: * add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and initializes the repository * add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to is_submodule_active() * add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the submodules in their trees Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list' usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use parse_options., 2007-10-07).

libs: use "struct repository *" argument, not "the_repository" As can easily be seen from grepping in our sources, we had these uses of "the_repository" in various library code in cases where the function in question was already getting a "struct repository *" argument. Let's use that argument instead. Out of these changes only the changes to "cache-tree.c", "commit-reach.c", "shallow.c" and "upload-pack.c" would have cleanly applied before the migration away from the "repo_*()" wrapper macros in the preceding commits. The rest aren't new, as we'd previously implicitly refer to "the_repository", but it's now more obvious that we were doing the wrong thing all along, and should have used the parameter instead. The change to change "get_index_format_default(the_repository)" in "read-cache.c" to use the "r" variable instead should arguably have been part of [1], or in the subsequent cleanup in [2]. Let's do it here, as can be seen from the initial code in [3] it's not important that we use "the_repository" there, but would prefer to always use the current repository. This change excludes the "the_repository" use in "upload-pack.c"'s upload_pack_advertise(), as the in-flight [4] makes that change. 1. ee1f0c242ef (read-cache: add index.skipHash config option, 2023-01-06) 2. 6269f8eaad0 (treewide: always have a valid "index_state.repo" member, 2023-01-17) 3. 7211b9e7534 (repo-settings: consolidate some config settings, 2019-08-13) 4. <Y/hbUsGPVNAxTdmS@coredump.intra.peff.net> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly There are two bugs that sort of work together and cause problems. Let's start with one in replace_each_worktree_head_symref. Before fa099d2322 (worktree.c: kill parse_ref() in favor of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() - 2017-04-24), this code looks like this: if (strcmp(oldref, worktrees[i]->head_ref)) continue; set_worktree_head_symref(...); After fa099d2322, it is possible that head_ref can be NULL. However, the updated code takes the wrong exit. In the error case (NULL head_ref), we should "continue;" to the next worktree. The updated code makes us _skip_ "continue;" and update HEAD anyway. The NULL head_ref is triggered by the second bug in add_head_info (in the same commit). With the flag RESOLVE_REF_READING, resolve_ref_unsafe() will abort if it cannot resolve the target ref. For orphan checkouts, HEAD always points to an unborned branch, resolving target ref will always fail. Now we have NULL head_ref. Now we always update HEAD. Correct the logic in replace_ function so that we don't accidentally update HEAD on error. As it turns out, correcting the logic bug above breaks branch renaming completely, thanks to the second bug. "git branch -[Mm]" does two steps (on a normal checkout, no orphan!): - rename the branch on disk (e.g. refs/heads/abc to refs/heads/def) - update HEAD if it points to the branch being renamed. At the second step, since the branch pointed to by HEAD (e.g. "abc") no longer exists on disk, we run into a temporary orphan checkout situation that has been just corrected to _not_ update HEAD. But we need to update HEAD since it's not actually an orphan checkout. We need to update HEAD to move out of that orphan state. Correct add_head_info(), remove RESOLVE_REF_READING flag. With the flag gone, we should always return good "head_ref" in orphan checkouts (either temporary or permanent). With good head_ref, things start to work again.
