Subject: [PATCH v6] submodule: use the submodule repository to abbreviate commits
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:45:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2288.v6.git.1793821554097.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2288.git.1793435149942.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Srujith A Poojary <poojarysrujith@gmail.com>
The commit IDs shown in a submodule diff header belong to the
submodule's object database. However, strbuf_add_unique_abbrev()
uses the_repository, so it checks the superproject's object
database when abbreviating those IDs.
Use the submodule repository when it is available, and fall back
to the repository from the diff options when it is not.
As the expected abbreviation depends on the hash algorithm used,
the test uses the test_oid mechanism to switch the expectation
between SHA-1 and SHA-256 repositories.

[Outreachy PATCH] t4041: use submodule repository for commit
abbreviations
Changes since v4:
* Combine the implementation and SHA-256 test updates into a single
patch.
* Update the commit message to explain how the test uses test_oid to
switch expectations between SHA-1 and SHA-256 repositories.

@@ Commit message
Use the submodule repository when it is available, and fall back
to the repository from the diff options when it is not.
- The expected abbreviation for a submodule commit depends on the
- repository's hash algorithm. Use test_oid_cache to provide the
- expected value for each algorithm and remove the SHA1 prerequisite
- so this test runs with both SHA-1 and SHA-256.
+ As the expected abbreviation depends on the hash algorithm used,
+ the test uses the test_oid mechanism to switch the expectation
+ between SHA-1 and SHA-256 repositories.
