"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.
* jl/submodule-rm:
submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:
fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory
This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.
But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.
Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.
Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.
Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.

fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to
recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six
argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values
which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into
it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get
replaced with those currently valid.
However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to
explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an
argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the
argv_array just before the run_command() call (including the option
separating them) and pop them from the argv_array right after that.

The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a

There are two enhancements not found in the original code:
1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly,
even when no strings have been pushed (before, you
could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem
for the submodule code, which always pushed at least
one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for
generic code.
2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function.
This is a convenience function which was not needed by
the submodule code, but will make it easier to port
other users to the new code.

Recent versions of git can be slow to fetch repositories with a
large number of refs (or when they already have a large
number of refs). For example, GitHub makes pull-requests
available as refs, which can lead to a large number of
available refs. This slowness goes away when submodule
recursion is turned off:
$ git ls-remote git://github.com/rails/rails.git | wc -l
3034
[this takes ~10 seconds of CPU time to complete]
git fetch --recurse-submodules=no \
git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*"
[this still isn't done after 10 _minutes_ of pegging the CPU]
git fetch \
git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*"
You can produce a quicker and simpler test case like this:
doit() {
head=`git rev-parse HEAD`
for i in `seq 1 $1`; do
echo $head refs/heads/ref$i
done >.git/packed-refs
echo "==> $1"
rm -rf dest
git init -q --bare dest &&
(cd dest && time git.compile fetch -q .. refs/*:refs/*)
}
rm -rf repo
git init -q repo && cd repo &&
>file && git add file && git commit -q -m one
doit 100
doit 200
doit 400
doit 800
doit 1600
doit 3200
Which yields timings like:
# refs seconds of CPU
100 0.06
200 0.24
400 0.95
800 3.39
1600 13.66
3200 54.09
Notice that although the number of refs doubles in each
trial, the CPU time spent quadruples.
The problem is that the submodule recursion code works
something like:
- for each ref we fetch
- for each commit in git rev-list $new_sha1 --not --all
- add modified submodules to list
- fetch any newly referenced submodules
But that means if we fetch N refs, we start N revision
walks. Worse, because we use "--all", the number of refs we
must process that constitute "--all" keeps growing, too. And
you end up doing O(N^2) ref resolutions.
Instead, this patch structures the code like this:
- for each sha1 we already have
- add $old_sha1 to list $old
- for each ref we fetch
- add $new_sha1 to list $new
- for each commit in git rev-list $new --not $old
- add modified submodules to list
- fetch any newly referenced submodules
This yields timings like:
# refs seconds of CPU
100 0.00
200 0.04
400 0.04
800 0.10
1600 0.21
3200 0.39
Note that the amount of effort doubles as the number of refs
doubles. Similarly, the fetch of rails.git takes about as
much time as it does with --recurse-submodules=no.

When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a
submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that
contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the
superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available

This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When
using this option git will check that all submodule commits that
are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule.

Commands like "git status", "git diff" and "git fetch" would fail when the
.gitmodules file contained merge conflicts because the config parser would
call die() when hitting the conflict markers:
"fatal: bad config file line <n> in <path>/.gitmodules"
While this behavior was on the safe side, it is really unhelpful to the
user to have commands like status and diff fail, as these are needed to
find out what's going on. And the error message is only mildly helpful,
as it points to the right file but doesn't mention that it is unmerged.
Users of git gui were not shown any conflicts at all when this happened.
Improve the situation by checking if the index records .gitmodules as
unmerged. When that is the case we can't make any assumptions about the
configuration to be found there after the merge conflict is resolved by
the user, so assume that all recursion is disabled unless .git/config or
the global config say otherwise.
As soon as the merge conflict is resolved and the .gitmodules file has
been staged subsequent commands again honor any configuration done there.

To be able to access all commits of populated submodules referenced by the
superproject it is sufficient to only then let "git fetch" recurse into a
submodule when the new commits fetched in the superproject record new
commits for it. Having these commits present is extremely useful when
using the "--submodule" option to "git diff" (which is what "git gui" and
"gitk" do since 1.6.6), as all submodule commits needed for creating a
descriptive output can be accessed. Also merging submodule commits (added
in 1.7.3) depends on the submodule commits in question being present to
work. Last but not least this enables disconnected operation when using
submodules, as all commits necessary for a successful "git submodule
update -N" will have been fetched automatically. So we choose this mode as
the default for fetch and pull.
Before a new or changed ref from upstream is updated in update_local_ref()
"git rev-list <new-sha1> --not --branches --remotes" is used to determine
all newly fetched commits. These are then walked and diffed against their
parent(s) to see if a submodule has been changed. If that is the case, its
path is stored to be fetched after the superproject fetch is completed.
Using the "--recurse-submodules" or the "--no-recurse-submodules" option
disables the examination of the fetched refs because the result will be
ignored anyway.
There is currently no infrastructure for storing deleted and new
submodules in the .git directory of the superproject. That's why fetch and
pull for now only fetch submodules that are already checked out and are
not renamed.
In t7403 the "--no-recurse-submodules" argument had to be added to "git
pull" to avoid failure because of the moved upstream submodule repo.

Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch
option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch
new commits in populated submodules from their remote.
This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of
"git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after
fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for
implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule
update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to
forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to
discover later that they are needed.
This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch
each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the
submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the
superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index.
The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able
to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check

This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default

set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

This implements a simple merge strategy for submodule hashes. We check
whether one side of the merge candidates is already contained in the
other and then merge automatically.
If both sides contain changes we search for a merge in the submodule.
In case a single one exists we check that out and suggest it as the
merge resolution. A list of candidates is returned when we find multiple
merges that contain both sides of the changes.
This is useful for a workflow in which the developers can publish topic
branches in submodules and a separate maintainer merges them. In case
the developers always wait until their branch gets merged before tracking
them in the superproject all merges of branches that contain submodule
changes will be resolved automatically. If developers choose to track
their feature branch the maintainer might get a conflict but git will
search the submodule for a merge and suggest it/them as a resolution.

In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.
And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).
A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

The simple test for an existing .git directory gives an incorrect result
if .git is a file that records "gitdir: overthere". So for submodules that
use a .git file, "git status" and the diff family - when the "--submodule"
option is given - did assume the submodule was not populated at all when
a .git file was used, thus generating wrong output or no output at all.
This is fixed by using read_gitfile_gently() to get the correct location
of the .git directory. While at it, is_submodule_modified() was cleaned up
to use the "dir" member of "struct child_process" instead of setting the
GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR environment variables.

Since 1.7.0 submodules are considered dirty when they contain untracked
files. But when git status is called with the "-uno" option, the user
asked to ignore untracked files, so they must be ignored in submodules
too. To achieve this, the new flag DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_UNTRACKED_IN_SUBMODULES
is introduced.

When encountering a dirty submodule while doing "git diff --submodule"
print an extra line for new untracked content and another for modified
but already tracked content. And if the HEAD of the submodule is equal
to the ref diffed against in the superproject, drop the output which
would just show the same SHA1s and no commit message headlines.
To achieve that, the dirty_submodule bitfield is expanded to two bits.
The output of "git status" inside the submodule is parsed to set the
according bits.

* jl/submodule-diff:
Performance optimization for detection of modified submodules
git status: Show uncommitted submodule changes too when enabled
Teach diff that modified submodule directory is dirty
Show submodules as modified when they contain a dirty work tree
Until now a submodule only then showed up as modified in the supermodule
when the last commit in the submodule differed from the one in the index
or the diffed against commit of the superproject. A dirty work tree
containing new untracked or modified files in a submodule was
undetectable when looking at it from the superproject.
Now git status and git diff (against the work tree) in the superproject
will also display submodules as modified when they contain untracked or
modified files, even if the compared ref matches the HEAD of the
submodule.

When you use the option --submodule=log you can see the submodule
summaries inlined in the diff, instead of not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs.
The format imitates what "git submodule summary" shows.
To do that, <path>/.git/objects/ is added to the alternate object
databases (if that directory exists).
This option was requested by Jens Lehmann at the GitTogether in Berlin.
