[PATCH/RFC] submodule: fallback to .gitmodules and multiple level module definition

[Ping Yin]

This patch series has two functional improvements for submodule

  - Fall back on .gitmodules if info not found in $GIT_DIR/config
  - multi-level module definition

Patches 1,2,4 is mainly code refactor but the second one also
has some semantic change.

The other patches do the real functional changes.

Ping Yin (7):
      git-submodule: Extract functions module_info and module_url
      git-submodule: Extract absolute_url & move absolute url logic to module_clone
      git-submodule: Fall back on .gitmodules if info not found in $GIT_DIR/config
      git-submodule: Extract module_add from cmd_add
      git-submodule: multi-level module definition
      git-submodule: Don't die when command fails for one submodule
      git-submodule: "update --force" to enforce cloning non-submodule

[PATCH/RFC 1/7] git-submodule: Extract functions module_info and module_url

[Ping Yin]

module_info is extracted to remove the logic redundance which acquires
module names and urls by path filter in several places.

module_url is also extracted to prepare for an alternative logic to get url by
module name.

[PATCH v2 1/3] git-submodule summary: --for-status option

[Ping Yin]

The --for-status option is mainly used by builtin-status/commit.
It adds 'Modified submodules:' line at top and  '# ' prefix to all
following lines.

[PATCH v2 2/3] builtin-status: submodule summary support

[Ping Yin]

This commit teaches 'git commit/status' show 'Modified submodules'
section given by

git submodule summary --cached --for-status --summary-limit <limit>

just before 'Untracked files' section.

The <limit> is given by the config variable status.submodulesummary
to limit the submodule summary size. status.submodulesummary is 0 by
default which disables the summary.

Also mention status.submodulesummary in the documentation.

[PATCH/RFC 2/7] git-submodule: Extract absolute_url & move absolute url logic to module_clone

[Ping Yin]

Extract function absolute_url to remove code redundance and inconsistence in
cmd_init and cmd_add when resolving relative url/path to absolute one.

Also move resolving absolute url logic from cmd_add to module_clone which
results in a litte behaviour change: cmd_update originally doesn't
resolve absolute url but now it will.

This behaviour change breaks t7400 which uses relative url './.subrepo'.
However, this test originally doesn't mean to test relative url, so fix
the url as '.subrepo'.

[PATCH/RFC 3/7] git-submodule: Fall back on .gitmodules if info not found in $GIT_DIR/config

[Ping Yin]

Originally, the submodule workflow enforces 'git init' in the beginning
which copies submodule config info from .gitmodules to $GIT_DIR/config.
Then all subcommands except 'init' and 'add' fetch submodule info from
$GIT_DIR/config and .gitmodules can be discarded.

However, there may be inconsistence between .git/config and .gitmodules
when always using 'git init' at first. If upstream .gitmodules changes,
it is not easy to sync the changes to $GIT_DIR/config.

Running 'git init' again may not help much in this case.  Since .git/config
has a whole copy of .gitmodules, the user has no easy way to know which
entries should follow the upstream changes and which entires shouldn't.

Actually, .gitmodules which formly only acted as info hints can and should
play a more important and essential role.

As an analogy to .gitignore and .git/info/excludes which are for colleagues'
and individual wishes separately, .gitmodules is for common requirements and
$GIT_DIR/config is for special requirements.

This patch implements a fall back strategy to satisfy both common and
special requirements as follows.

$GIT_DIR/config only keeps submodule info different from .gitmodules.
And the info from $GIT_DIR/config take higher precedence. The code first
consults $GIT_DIR/config and then fall back on in-tree .gitmodules file.

With this patch, init subcommand becomes not forcefull and less meaningful.
And now it is just a tool to help users copy info to $GIT_DIR/config
(and may modify it later) only when they need.

[PATCH/RFC 5/7] git-submodule: multi-level module definition

[Ping Yin]

This patch introduces multi-level module definition and '--module-name'
option to designate submodules by logical names instead of path filters.
Then the init/update/status/add subcommand is enhanced combined with
this option.

The multi-level module definition in .gitmodules was first suggested by
Linus and etc. in mails "Let .git/config specify the url for submodules"
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/48939).

Following shows an example of such a .gitmodules which finally comes
from the group notation of 'git remote' which is suggested by Johannes
Schindelin.

.gitmodules with multiple level of indirection
------------------------------------------------------
[submodules]
	service = crawler search
	crawler = util imcrawter
	search = util imsearch
[submodule "util"]
	url = git://xyzzy/util.git
[submodule "imsearch"]
	path = search/imsearch
	url = git://xyzzy/imsearch.git
[submodule "imcrawler"]
	path = crawler/imcrawter
	url = git://xyzzy/imcrawter.git
------------------------------------------------------

By adding the 'submodules' section, we can define multi-level modules
in an infinite levels of indirection.

The "-m|--module-name" option is introduced with which submodules are
designated by logical names instead of real paths as following shows.

Identical commands forms with/without "--module-name"
---------------------------------------------------
$ git submodule XXX util imcrawler              (1)
$ git submodule XXX -n crawler                  (2)
$ git submodule XXX util imcrawler imsearch     (3)
$ git submodule XXX -n service                  (4)
$ git submodule XXX -n crawler search           (5)
---------------------------------------------------
* XXX represents status, update or init, but not add
* (1) and (2) are identical conditionally (explained below)
* (3), (4) and (5) are identical conditionally

There are still minor difference between these two forms.

In the no "--module-name" form, the path parameter may be not the real
submodule path, and it just acts as the filter for real submodule paths.
While in the "--module-name" form, the name parameter must be the logical
name, and the real paths corresponding to the logical name may be neither
a submodule path nor even existent.

This patch handles such a path for different subcommands as follows.

 - status: Output 0{40} as the sha1. Doing this can remind the user to
   add the path as submodule or delete the path from .gitmodules.
 - update: Skip that path and issue a "Not a submodule" warning
 - init: Also init for that path

So in the example above, commands (1) and (2) are identical only when
util and imcrawler are already submodules.

The add subcommand is also enhanced.

The former workflow to add submodules is adding one by one with
"git submodule add url path" which then modifies .gitmodules. However,
sometimes it is more convenient to work in the reverse way: edit
.gitmodules first and then add submodules in batch.

Now "git submodule add --module-name modulename" can help us to do that.
It will find all submodules corresponding to the logical name and add them
in batch by using the paths and urls from .gitmodules. Of course, it will
skip the paths which have already been submodules.

[PATCH/RFC 6/7] git-submodule: Don't die when command fails for one submodule

[Ping Yin]

When handling multiple modules, init/update/status/add subcommand will
exit when it fails for one submodule. This patch makes the subcommand
continue bypassing the failure and keep right exit status.

[PATCH/RFC 7/7] git-submodule: "update --force" to enforce cloning non-submodule

[Ping Yin]

If the update subcommand combines with --force, non-submodules
(i.e. modules existing in .gitmodules or $GIT_DIR/config but not added
to the super module) will be cloned and the master branch will be
checked out.

However, if a non-submodule has already been cloned before, the update
will be rejected since we don't know what the update means.

Maybe you missed an earlier thread with Roman Shaposhnik where this issue
was discussed and a solution more in line with the original intent of the
design of the submodule system was mentioned (actually I should not take
credit for that suggestion as it was not mine but somebody else mentioned
it back when git-submodule command was initially being designed.  I only
recalled there was that one issue in the discussion)?

You mean use "hooks" to update $GIT_DIR/config with user interaction
when .gitmodules changes? Or give user hints when "git submodule
update" fails?

What you said in that thread is that the url in $GIT_DIR/config is
different from the one in .gitmodules (with protocol change perhaps)
originally, and then the url in .gitmodules changes. So when "git
submodule update" fails, it notices this change and tell the user.

What i mean here is another case. The url in $GIT_DIR/config is the
same as the one in .gitmodules, and then the url in .gitmodules
change. So this change can be synced automatically to $GIT_DIR/config.

However, when both cases happen in the same time, there is no way to
differentiate these two cases. So the command  can't do something
automatically and has to leave all choice to the user.

In an environment with central repositories, all submodule urls will
be the same between $GIT_DIR/config and .gitmodules. It is a little
annoying to give so many users this kind of uneccessary choice if the
submodule url changes in .gitmodules.

Hmmm.  Doesn't "foo" generally mean the same thing as "./foo" in the sense
both are relative to the current directory?

There is a little inconsistence in current logic

1. git submodule add ./foo will expand foo with remote.origin.url and
init an entry in .gitmodules as
"submodule.foo.url=$remoteoriginurl/foo"
2. git submodule update will not expand ./foo if  there is an entry
"submodule.foo.url=./foo"  in $GIT_DIR/config

I tend to add the url as is when "git submodule add", and then expand
the url when running "git submodule update". So this will result that
the second case expands './foo' as "$remoteoriginurl/foo" instead of
"foo"

Sorry for the repeated mail. I don't know how it happened. Maybe
send-email bug or my misoperation.

So just Ignore the second one.

This is not a new bug in this round of patch (i.e. the original code
already did the same), but I have to wonder if exiting the loop silently
when $name is not set (i.e. .gitmodules does not have an entry to describe
the submodule yet) is a good idea.

If an entry with mode 160000 in the index is an error if it does not have
a corresponding entry in .gitmodules, then this code should say so when
exiting the loop prematurely.  If it is not, I think it should silently
continue just like missing URL case.

The user may be right in the process of manually adding a new submodule,
has done "git add" of the submodule path already but hasn't yet decided
what the name of the submodule or where the final published URL would be.
In such a case, you would have 160000 entry in the index that does not
have a corresponding entry in .gitmodules and that is perfectly valid.

So I tend to think that you should treat "missing name" and "missing url"
as an non-error case.

cmd_init would obviously need to _notice_ "missing url" and refrain from
adding the missing remote URL to the config, but I do not think it should
error out.  Warning might be appropriate in cases, but I dunno.

Same comment applies to cmd_update() and cmd_status().  I would strongly
suspect that status may want to ignore missing name/url and show the usual
diff, as it does not even have to require the submodule to interact with
any remote repository at all.  The user may be privately using the
submodule and does not even need to push it out nor pull it from
elsewhere, and in such a case, .gitmodules may not even be populated with
an entry for that submodule, ever, not just as a "right in the middle of
adding" status.

When the command should be usable without .gitmodules entry, it should not
require one.

Fair enough.

As usual, the preferred order is to first refector, fix without
enhancement as necessary, then finally build on more solidified base.

[PATCH v2] builtin-status: submodule summary support

[Ping Yin]

This is a resend after v1.5.5.

[PATCH v2 1/3] git-submodule summary: --for-status option

[Ping Yin]

The --for-status option is mainly used by builtin-status/commit.
It adds 'Modified submodules:' line at top and  '# ' prefix to all
following lines.
