When "git submodule add" clones a submodule repository, it can get
confused where to store the resulting submodule repository in the
superproject's .git/ directory when there is a symbolic link in the
path to the current directory.
* jl/maint-1.7.10-recurse-submodules-with-symlink:
submodules: don't stumble over symbolic links when cloning recursively
Since 69c3051 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path)
cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a
symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject.
This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between
the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points
to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number
of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a
wrong result.
As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove
the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem.
A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

Teach "git submodule" deal with nested submodule structure where a
module is contained within a module whose origin is specified as a
relative URL to its superproject's origin.
Currently git submodule init and git submodule sync fail with an error
if the superproject origin URL is of the form foo but succeed if the
superproject origin URL is of the form ./foo or ./foo/bar or foo/bar.
This change makes handling of the foo case behave like the handling
of the ./foo case and also ensures that superfluous leading and
embedded ./'s are removed from the resulting derived URLs.

When the origin URL of the superproject is itself relative, git submodule sync
configures the remote.origin.url configuration property of the submodule
with a path that is relative to the work tree of the superproject
rather than the work tree of the submodule.
To fix this an 'up_path' that navigates from the work tree of the submodule
to the work tree of the superproject needs to be prepended to the URL
otherwise calculated.
Correct handling of superproject origin URLs like foo, ./foo and ./foo/bar is
left to a subsequent patch since an additional change is required to handle
these cases.
The documentation of resolve_relative_url() is expanded to give a more thorough
description of the function's objective.

Since 2cd9de3e (submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry) the
message "Submodule '\$name' (\$url) registered for path '\$sm_path'" is
printed every time cmd_init() is called, e.g. each time "git submodule
update" is used with the --init option.
This was not intended and leads to bogus output which can confuse users
and build systems. Apart from that the $url variable was not set after the
first run which did the actual initialization and only "()" was printed
in subsequent runs where "($url)" was meant to inform the user about the
upstream repo.
Fix that by moving the say command in question into the if block where the
url is initialized, restoring the behavior that was in place before the
2cd9de3e commit. While at it also remove the comment which still describes
the logic used before 2cd9de3e and add a comment about how things work now.

The eval_gettext (and eval_gettextln) i18n shell functions call
git-sh-i18n--envsubst to process the variable references in the
string parameter. Unfortunately, environment variables are case
insensitive on windows, which leads to failure on cygwin when
eval_gettext exports $path.
Commit df599e9 (Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search,
06-06-2011) attempts to solve this problem on MinGW by overriding
the system getenv() function to allow git-sh-i18n--envsubst to read
$path rather than $PATH from the environment. However, this commit
does not address cygwin at all and, furthermore, does not fix all
problems on MinGW.
In particular, when executing test #38 in t7400-submodule-basic.sh,
an 'git-sh-i18n-envsubst.exe - Unable To Locate Component' dialog
pops up saying that the application "failed to start because
libiconv2.dll was not found." After studying the voluminous trace
output from the process monitor, it is clear that the system is
attempting to use $path, rather than $PATH, to search for the DLL
file. (Note that, after dismissing the dialog, the test passes
anyway!)
As an alternative, we finesse the problem by renaming the $path
variable to $sm_path (submodule path). This fixes the problem on
MinGW along with all test failures on cygwin (t7400.{7,32,34},
t7406.3 and t7407.{2,6}). We note that the foreach subcommand
provides $path to user scripts (ie it is part of the API), so we
can't simply rename it to $sm_path.

The sed provided by Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin has a bug whereby an
unanchored regex using * for zero or more repetitions sees two
separate matches fed to the substitution engine in some cases.
This is evidenced by:
$ for sed in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /opt/csw/gnu/sed; do \
echo 'ab' | $sed -e 's|[a]*|X|g'; \
done
XXbX
XbX
XbX
This bug was triggered during a git submodule clone operation as
exercised in the setup stage of t5526-fetch-submodules when using the
default SANE_TOOL_PATH for Solaris. It led to paths such as
..../.. being used in the submodule .git gitdir reference.
Using the expression 's|\([^/]*\(/*\)\)|..\2|g' provides the desired
result with all three three tested sed implementations but is harder
to read. As we do not need to handle fully qualified paths though,
the expression could actually be [^/]+ which isn't properly handled
either. Instead, use [^/][^/]*, as suggested by Andreas Schwab, which
works on all three tested sed implementations.
The new expression is semantically different than the original one.
It will not place a leading '..' on a fully qualified path as the
original expression did. All of the paths being passed through this
regex are relative and did not rely on this behaviour so it's a safe
change.

Under Windows the "git rev-parse --git-dir" and "pwd" commands may return
either drive-letter-colon or POSIX style paths. This makes module_clone()
behave badly because it expects absolute paths to always start with a '/'.
Fix that by always converting the "c:/" notation into "/c/" when computing
the relative paths from gitdir to the submodule work tree and back.

In module_clone() the rel_gitdir variable was computed differently when
"git rev-parse --git-dir" returned a relative path than when it returned
an absolute path. This is not optimal, as different code paths are used
depending on the return value of that command.
Fix that by reusing the differing path components computed for setting the
core.worktree config setting, which leaves a single code path for setting
both instead of having three and makes the code much shorter.
This also fixes the bug that in the computation of how many directories
have to be traversed up to hit the root directory of the submodule the
name of the submodule was used where the path should have been used. This
lead to problems after renaming submodules into another directory level.
Even though the "(cd $somewhere && pwd)" approach breaks the flexibility
of symlinks, that is no issue here as we have to have one relative path
pointing from the work tree to the gitdir and another pointing back, which
will never work anyway when a symlink along one of those paths is changed
because the directory it points to was moved.
Also add a test moving a submodule into a deeper directory to catch any
future breakage here and to document what has to be done when a submodule
needs to be moved until git mv learns to do that. Simply moving it to the
new location doesn't work, as the core.worktree and possibly the gitfile
setting too will be wrong. So it has to be removed from filesystem and
index, then the new location has to be added into the index and the
.gitmodules file has to be updated. After that a git submodule update will
check out the submodule at the new location.

Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there. To make that work the git directory has
the core.worktree configuration set in its config file to point back to
the work tree.
That core.worktree is an absolute path set by the initial clone of the
submodule. A relative path is preferable here because it allows the
superproject to be moved around without invalidating that setting, so
compute and set that relative path after cloning or reactivating the
submodule.
This also fixes a bug when moving a submodule around inside the
superproject, as the current code forgot to update the setting to the new
submodule work tree location.
Enhance t7400 to ensure that future versions won't re-add absolute paths
by accident and that moving a superproject won't break submodules.

Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there. When the submodule git directory needs
to be cloned because it is not found in .git/modules/<name> the clone
command will write an absolute path into the gitfile. When no clone is
necessary the git directory will be reactivated by the git-submodule.sh
script by writing a relative path into the gitfile.
This is inconsistent, as the behavior depends on the submodule having been
cloned before into the .git/modules of the superproject. A relative path
is preferable here because it allows the superproject to be moved around
without invalidating the gitfile. We do that by always writing the
relative path into the gitfile, which overwrites the absolute path the
clone command may have written there.
This is only the first step to make superprojects movable again like they
were before the separate-git-dir approach was introduced. The second step
is to use a relative path in core.worktree too.
Enhance t7400 to ensure that future versions won't re-add absolute paths
by accident.
While at it also replace an if/else construct evaluating the presence

.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree

When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily
uses the - now empty - name. It then always points only a single directory
up, even if we have a path deeper in the directory hierarchy.
Fix that by initializing the name of the submodule early in module_clone()
if module_name() returned an empty name and add a test to catch that bug.

Move git-dir for submodules into $GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule] of
the superproject. This is a step towards being able to delete submodule
directories without loosing the information from their .git directory
as that is now stored outside the submodules work tree.
This is done relying on the already existent .git-file functionality.
When adding or updating a submodule whose git directory is found under
$GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule], don't clone it again but simply
point the .git-file to it and remove the now stale index file from it.
The index will be recreated by the following checkout.
This patch will not affect already cloned submodules at all.

The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its
connection to the original standard input. Instead, it is connected to the
output of a pipe within the git-submodule script. The user-supplied
command supplied to 'submodule foreach' is spawned within a while loop
which is being piped into. Due to the way shells implement piping output
to a while loop, a subshell is created with its standard input attached to
the output of the pipe. This results in all of the commands executed
within the while loop to have their stdins modified in the same way,
including the user-supplied command.
This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if
it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not. For
example, this problem was noticed when trying to execute the following:
git submodule foreach git shortlog --since=two.weeks.ago
which printed a message about entering the first submodule and produced no
further output and exited with a status of zero. In this case, shortlog
detected that it was not connected to a tty, and since no revision was
supplied as an argument, it attempted to read the list of revisions from
standard input. Instead, it slurped up the list of submodules that was
being piped to the enclosing while loop and caused that loop to end early
without processing the remaining submodules.
Work around this behavior by saving the original standard input file
descriptor before the while loop, and restoring it when spawning the
user-supplied command.
This fixes the tests in t7407.

When "git submodule add $path" is run to add a subdirectory $path to the
superproject, and $path is already the top of the working tree of the
submodule repository, the command created submodule.$path.url entry in the
configuration file in the superproject. However, when adding a repository
$URL that is outside the respository of the superproject to $path that
does not exist (yet) with "git submodule add $URL $path", the command
forgot to set it up.
The user is expressing the interest in the submodule and wants to keep a
checkout, the "submodule add" command should consistently set up the
submodule.$path.url entry in either case.
As a result "git submodule init" can't simply skip the initialization of
those submodules for which it finds an url entry in the git./config
anymore. That lead to problems when adding a submodule (which now sets the
url), add the "update" setting to .gitmodules and expect init to copy that
into .git/config like it is done in t7406. So change init to only then
copy the "url" and "update" entries when they don't exist yet in the
.git/config and do nothing otherwise.

command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never

caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

"git submodule update" stops at the first error and gives control
back to the user. Only after the user fixes the problematic
submodule and runs "git submodule update" again, the second error
is found. And the user needs to repeat until all the problems are
found and fixed one by one. This is tedious.
Instead, the command can remember which submodules it had trouble with,
continue updating the ones it can, and report which ones had errors at
the end. The user can run "git submodule update", find all the ones that
need minor fixing (e.g. working tree was dirty) to fix them in a single
pass. Then another "git submodule update" can be run to update all.
Note that the problematic submodules are skipped only when they are to
be integrated with a safer value of submodule.<name>.update option,
namely "checkout". Fixing a failure in a submodule that uses "rebase" or
"merge" may need an involved conflict resolution by the user, and
leaving too many submodules in states that need resolution would not
reduce the mental burden on the user.
