a93dcb0a56 Merge branch 'bw/submodule-is-active'
"what URL do we want to update this submodule?" and "are we
interested in this submodule?" are split into two distinct
concepts, and then the way used to express the latter got extended,
paving a way to make it easier to manage a project with many
submodules and make it possible to later extend use of multiple
worktrees for a project with submodules.

3e7eaed016 submodule init: initialize active submodules
Teach `submodule init` to initialize submodules which have been
configured to be active by setting 'submodule.active' with a pathspec.

Now if no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is configured,
`init` will initialize all submodules which have been configured to be
active.  If no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is not
configured, then `init` will retain the old behavior of initializing all
submodules.

This allows users to record more complex patterns as it saves retyping
them whenever you invoke update.

5c2bd8b77a submodule--helper: add is-active subcommand
The definition of which submodules are of interest by the user
is tied to the configuration submodule.<name>.url; when it is
set to a non-empty string, it is of interest.  We'd want to be
able to later change this definition, but there are many places
that explicitly check this condition in the scripted Porcelain.

Introduce the "is-active" subcommand to "submodule--helper", so
that the exact definition of what submodule is of interest can
be centrally defined (and changed in later steps).  In a few
patches that follow, this helper is used to replace the explicit
checks of the configuration variable in scripts.

d1b3b81aab submodule init: warn about falling back to a local path
When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url'
is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules
file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed
relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined
accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'.

The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking
for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path.

This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved,
which is not obvious to the user.

So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the
user to lessen the confusion.

This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative
repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the
code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f08 (submodule:
port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15).

In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1],
however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious
use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so
warn instead of die here.

While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in
the documentation.

6e7c14e65c submodule update --init: display correct path from submodule
In the submodule helper we did not correctly handled the display path
for initializing submodules when both the submodule is inside a
subdirectory as well as the command being invoked from a subdirectory
(as viewed from the superproject).

This was broken in 3604242f08, which was written at a time where
there was no super-prefix available, so we abused the --prefix option
for the same purpose and could get only one case right (the call from
within a subdirectory, not the submodule being in a subdirectory).

f6f8586140 submodule: add absorb-git-dir function
When a submodule has its git dir inside the working dir, the submodule
support for checkout that we plan to add in a later patch will fail.

Add functionality to migrate the git directory to be absorbed
into the superprojects git directory.

The newly added code in this patch is structured such that other areas of
Git can also make use of it. The code in the submodule--helper is a mere
wrapper and option parser for the function
`absorb_git_dir_into_superproject`, that takes care of embedding the
submodules git directory into the superprojects git dir. That function
makes use of the more abstract function for this use case
`relocate_gitdir`, which can be used by e.g. the worktree code eventually
to move around a git directory.

bf03b79047 submodule--helper: set alternateLocation for cloned submodules
In 31224cbdc7 (clone: recursive and reference option triggers
submodule alternates, 2016-08-17) a mechanism was added to
have submodules referenced.  It did not address _nested_
submodules, however.

This patch makes all not just the root repository, but also
all submodules (recursively) have submodule.alternateLocation
and submodule.alternateErrorStrategy configured, making Git
search for possible alternates for nested submodules as well.

As submodule's alternate target does not end in .git/objects
(rather .git/modules/qqqqqq/objects), this alternate target
path restriction for in add_possible_reference_from_superproject
relates from "*.git/objects" to just */objects".

New tests have been added to t7408-submodule-reference.

597f9134de alternates: use a separate scratch space
The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.

It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.

Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

087885049e submodule: ignore trailing slash on superproject URL
Before 63e95beb0 (2016-04-15, submodule: port resolve_relative_url from
shell to C), it did not matter if the superprojects URL had a trailing
slash or not. It was just chopped off as one of the first steps
(The "remoteurl=${remoteurl%/}" near the beginning of
resolve_relative_url(), which was removed in said commit).

When porting this to the C version, an off-by-one error was introduced
and we did not check the actual last character to be a slash, but the
NULL delimiter.

Reintroduce the behavior from before 63e95beb0, to ignore the trailing
slash.

72c5f88311 clone: pass --progress decision to recursive submodules
When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.

In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.

That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.

This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.

This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:

  git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat

work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

31224cbdc7 clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates
When `--recursive` and `--reference` is given, it is reasonable to
expect that the submodules are created with references to the submodules
of the given alternate for the superproject.

  An initial attempt to do this was presented to the mailing list, which
  used flags that are passed around ("--super-reference") that instructed
  the submodule clone to look for a reference in the submodules of the
  referenced superproject. This is not well thought out, as any further
  `submodule update` should also respect the initial setup.

  When a new  submodule is added to the superproject and the alternate
  of the superproject does not know about that submodule yet, we rather
  error out informing the user instead of being unclear if we did or did
  not use a submodules alternate.

To solve this problem introduce new options that store the configuration
for what the user wanted originally.

5f50f33e87 submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references
Allow the user to pass in multiple references to update_clone.
Currently this is only internal API, but once the shell script is
replaced by a C version, this is needed.

This fixes an API bug between the shell script and the helper.
Currently the helper accepts "--reference" "--reference=foo"
as a OPT_STRING whose value happens to be "--reference=foo", and
then uses

        if (suc->reference)
                argv_array_push(&child->args, suc->reference)

where suc->reference _is_ "--reference=foo" when invoking the
underlying "git clone", it cancels out.

With this change we omit one of the "--reference" arguments when
passing references from the shell script to the helper.

2201ee09b5 submodule--helper: use parallel processor correctly
When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again.  The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.

When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.

Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.

4d7bc52b17 submodule update: allow '.' for branch value
Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a
commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules.
Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with
Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc):

  while [ true ]; do
    git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
    git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
    git -C <superproject> push
  done

for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.

Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.

The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of
this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not
expect such projects to exist.

eb09121b74 submodule-helper: fix indexing in clone retry error reporting path
'git submodule--helper update-clone' has logic to retry failed clones
a second time. For this purpose, there is a list of submodules to clone,
and a second list that is filled with the submodules to retry. Within
these lists, the submodules are identified by an index as if both lists
were just appended.

This works nicely except when the second clone attempt fails as well. To
report an error, the identifying index must be adjusted by an offset so
that it can be used as an index into the second list. However, the
calculation uses the logical total length of the lists so that the result
always points one past the end of the second list.

Pick the correct index.

665b35eccd submodule--helper: initial clone learns retry logic
Each submodule that is attempted to be cloned, will be retried once in
case of failure after all other submodules were cloned. This helps to
mitigate ephemeral server failures and increases chances of a reliable
clone of a repo with hundreds of submodules immensely.

In 48308681 (2016-02-29, git submodule update: have a dedicated helper
for cloning), the helper communicated errors back only via exit code,
and dance with printing '#unmatched' in case of error was left to
git-submodule.sh as it uses the output of the helper and pipes it into
shell commands. This change makes the helper consistent by never
printing '#unmatched' in the helper but always handling these piping
issues in the actual shell script.

abed000aca submodule update: learn --[no-]recommend-shallow option
Sometimes the history of a submodule is not considered important by
the projects upstream. To make it easier for downstream users, allow
a boolean field 'submodule.<name>.shallow' in .gitmodules, which can
be used to recommend whether upstream considers the history important.

This field is honored in the initial clone by default, it can be
ignored by giving the `--no-recommend-shallow` option.
