Re: [PATCH v3 4/4] submodule: port submodule subcommand 'summary' from shell to C

[Shourya Shukla <shouryashukla.oo@gmail.com>]

Or rather, we can do this:

-----8<-----
if (S_ISGITLINK(p->mod_src)) {
		struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT;
		strbuf_addstr(&sb, p->sm_path);
		if (is_nonbare_repository_dir(&sb))
			src_abbrev = verify_submodule_committish(p->sm_path,
								                     oid_to_hex(&p->oid_src));
		strbuf_release(&sb);
		if (!src_abbrev) {
			missing_src = 1;
			/*
			 * As `rev-parse` failed, we fallback to getting
			 * the abbreviated hash using oid_src. We do
			 * this as we might still need the abbreviated
			 * hash in cases like a submodule type change, etc.
			 */
			src_abbrev = xstrndup(oid_to_hex(&p->oid_src), 7);
		}
	} else {
		/*
		 * The source does not point to a submodule.
		 * So, we fallback to getting the abbreviation using
		 * oid_src as we might still need the abbreviated
		 * hash in cases like submodule add, etc.
		 */
		src_abbrev = xstrndup(oid_to_hex(&p->oid_src), 7);
	}

Similarly for dst as well. This solution passes all the tests and does
not call 'verify_submodule_committish()' all the time. The previous
approach failed a couple of tests, this one seems fine to me.

How is this one?
