8196e72895 git-submodule.sh: fix '/././' path normalization
When we add a new submodule the path of the submodule is being
normalized. We fail to normalize multiple adjacent '/./', though.
Thus 'path/to/././submodule' will become 'path/to/./submodule' where
it should be 'path/to/submodule' instead.

6a0662304d git-submodule.sh: avoid "echo" path-like values
SysV-derived implementation of "echo" interprets some backslash
sequences as special instruction, e.g. "echo 'ab\c'" shows an
incomplete line with 'a' and 'b' on it.  Avoid using it when showing
a path-like values in the script.

893a9764dc submodule update: consistently document the '--checkout' option
Commit 322bb6e12f (add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule
by default) added the '--checkout' option to "git submodule update" but
forgot to explicitly document it in synopsis, usage string and man page
(It is only mentioned implicitly in the man page). In 23d25e48 (submodule:
explicit local branch creation in module_clone) the synopsis of the man
page was updated, but the "OPTIONS" section of the man page and the usage
string of the git-submodule script still do not mention the '--checkout'
option.

Fix that by documenting this option in usage string and the "OPTIONS"
section of man page too. While at it group the update-mode options into
a single set in the usage string.

23d25e48f5 submodule: explicit local branch creation in module_clone
The previous code only checked out branches in cmd_add.  This commit
moves the branch-checkout logic into module_clone, where it can be
shared by cmd_add and cmd_update.  I also update the initial checkout
command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone.

With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via:

  $ git submodule update ...

will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are
using the default checkout-mode updates.  This is a change from the
previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic
(regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered
an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD.

This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial
clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode
updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or
not) in other modes.

The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work
inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for
updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work.
Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with
checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away
during updates.  For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch
or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer
wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead
of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference.

By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from
black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the
developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs
for the developers that don't care.

Testing
=======

In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not
on a detached HEAD.

I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after
cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode:

* Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs
* Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured
  submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master.

The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a
known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit
the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new
submodule commits to the upstream subprojects.  This makes it
impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references
submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects.  For a
specific example, see the tests that currently generate the
'two_new_submodule_commits' commits.

Documentation
=============

I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail.
The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and
non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead
to detached HEADs, and which would not.  The new documentation
addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes
introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in
module_clone.

I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode
options into a single set.

efa8fd7ee8 git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.

However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.

Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.

Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as
unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense.  With this
change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'.

b2a0afd96a Merge branch 'ak/submodule-foreach-quoting'
A behavior change, but a worthwhile one: "git submodule foreach"
was treating its arguments as part of a single command to be
concatenated and passed to a shell, making writing buggy
scripts too easy.

This patch preserves the old "just pass it to the shell" behavior
when a single argument is passed to 'git submodule foreach' and
moves to a new "skip the shell and use the arguments passed
unmolested" behavior when more than one argument is passed.

The old behavior (always concatenating and passing to the shell)
was similar to the 'ssh' command, while the new behavior (switching
on the number of arguments) is what 'xterm -e' does.

May need more thought to make sure this change is advertised well
so that scripts that used multiple arguments but added their own
extra layer of quoting are not broken.

ac1fbbda20 submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.

However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows.  It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.

Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

361412828a submodule update: remove unnecessary orig_flags variable
cmd_update() in the submodule script tries to preserve the options given
on the command line in the "orig_flags" variable to pass them on into the
recursion when the '--recursive' option is given. But this isn't necessary
because all the variables set by the options will be seen in the recursion
too as that is achieved by executing "eval cmd_update".

The same has already been done for cmd_status() in e15bec0ec, so let's
clean up cmd_update() likewise. Also add a test to make sure that a
submodule name given on the command line is not passed into the recursion
(which was the goal of adding the orig_flags variable in 98dbe63db).

fcb06a8d54 use @@PERL@@ in built scripts
Several of the built shell commands invoke a bare "perl" to
perform some one-liners. This will use the first perl in the
PATH rather than the one specified by the user's SHELL_PATH.
We are not asking these perl invocations to do anything
exotic, so typically any old system perl will do; however,
in some cases the system perl may have unexpected behavior
(e.g., by handling line endings differently). We should err
on the side of using the perl the user pointed us to.

The downside of this is that on systems with a sane perl
setup, we no longer find the perl at runtime, but instead
point to a static perl (like /usr/bin/perl). That means we
will not handle somebody moving perl without rebuilding git,
whereas before we tracked it just fine. This is probably not
a big deal, though, as the built perl scripts already
suffered from this.

1c4fb136db submodule foreach: skip eval for more than one argument
'eval "$@"' creates an extra layer of shell interpretation, which is
probably not expected by a user who passes multiple arguments to git
submodule foreach:

 $ git grep "'"
 [searches for single quotes]
 $ git submodule foreach git grep "'"
 Entering '[submodule]'
 /usr/lib/git-core/git-submodule: 1: eval: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
 Stopping at '[submodule]'; script returned non-zero status.

To fix this, if the user passes more than one argument, execute "$@"
directly instead of passing it to eval.

Examples:

 * Typical usage when adding an extra level of quoting is to pass a
   single argument representing the entire command to be passed to the
   shell.  This doesn't change that.

 * One can imagine someone feeding untrusted input as an argument:

 	git submodule foreach git grep "$variable"

   That currently results in a nonobvious shell code injection
   vulnerability.  Executing the command named by the arguments
   directly, as in this patch, fixes it.

927b26f87a submodule: don't print status output with ignore=all
git status prints information for submodules, but it should ignore the status of
those which have submodule.<name>.ignore set to all.  Fix it so that it does
properly ignore those which have that setting either in .git/config or in
.gitmodules.

Not ignored are submodules that are added, deleted, or moved (which is
essentially a combination of the first two) because it is not easily possible to
determine the old path once a move has occurred, nor is it easily possible to
detect which adds and deletions are moves and which are not.  This also
preserves the previous behavior of always listing modules which are to be
deleted.

Tests are included which verify that this change has no effect on git submodule
summary without the --for-status option.

The output of "git submodule deinit sub" of a populated submodule prints

as the first line unless used with the -f option.

The "rm 'sub'" line is exactly the same output the user gets when using
"git rm sub" (because that command is used with the --dry-run option under
the hood to determine if the submodule is clean), which can easily lead to
the false impression that the submodule would be permanently removed. Also
users might be confused that the "rm 'submodule'" line won't show up when
the -f option is used, as the test is skipped in this case.

Silence the "rm 'submodule'" output by using the --quiet option for "git
rm" and always print

  Cleared directory 'submodule'

instead as the first output line. This line is printed as long as the
directory exists, no matter if empty or not.

Also extend the tests in t7400 to make sure the "Cleared directory" line
is printed correctly.

"submodule init".  "submodule deinit" is the way to do so.

cf41982806 submodule: add 'deinit' command
With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one
or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git
submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he
does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local
work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the
"submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config together with the work tree
himself).

Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the
whole submodule.<name> section from .git/config (either for the given
submodule(s) or for all those which have been initialized if '.' is used)
together with their work tree. Fail if the current work tree contains
modifications (unless forced), but don't complain when either the work
tree is already removed or no settings are found in .git/config.

Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm"
to assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the
submodule is the right thing to do for him. Also add the deinit subcommand
to the completion list.

75bf5e60e8 submodule update: when using recursion, show full path
Previously when using update with recursion, only the path for the
inner-most module was printed. Now the path is printed relative to
the directory the command was started from. This now matches the
behavior of submodule foreach.

eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

b928922727 submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules
This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in
.gitmodules when you add a new submodule.  With this patch,

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
  $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

  $ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the
submodule, which is usually what you want.

06b1abb5bd submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d86

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.
