[PATCH v4 1/3] t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd

[Jacob Keller]

From: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>

In contrast to apache 2.2, apache 2.4 does not load mod_unixd in its
default configuration (because there are choices). Thus, with the
current config, apache 2.4.10 will not be started and the httpd tests
will not run on distros with default apache config (RedHat type).

Enable mod_unixd to make the httpd tests run. This does not affect
distros negatively which have that config already in their default
(Debian type). httpd tests will run on these before and after this patch.

I am sending this version strictly from PU since I need it to pass the

[PATCH v4 2/3] sumodule--helper: fix submodule--helper clone usage and check argc count

[Jacob Keller]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

git submodule--helper clone usage specified that paths come after the --
as a sequence. However, the actual implementation does not, and requires
only a single path passed in via --path. In addition, argc was
unchecked. (allowing arbitrary extra arguments that were silently
ignored).

Fix the usage description to match implementation. Add an argc check to
enforce no extra arguments. Fix a bug in the argument passing in
git-submodule.sh which would pass --reference and --depth as empty
strings when they were unused, resulting in extra argc after parsing
options.

Right, no extra arguments.

This is the fix to check for more arguments.

By having this additional fix (i.e. no '--depth', '<empty string>' is
passed to the
submodule helper, we can improve the submodule helper further
in clone_submodule we can drop the double check for `depth` and `reference`
(as well as `gitdir`, that double check is unneeded as of now already),
by just checking for the pointer to be non  NULL and not further checking
the dereferenced pointer.

That can go in either squashed into this commit or on top of it, either is fine.

That said:

To be clear, what this *actually* does is prevent passing

""

when depth or reference are empty. It never passed "--depth" ""
together, or "--reference" "". It *does* pass --prefix "" sometimes,
but not always, from what I could tell when using print debug
statements while running the submodule tests.

I am not sure if it ever passes "--depth" "" in any case, but I don't
believe so.

What this final change is needed for is that without it, after
parse_options, argc is equal 2.

Thanks,
Jake

[PATCH v4 3/3] git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line

[Jacob Keller]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local
git environment variables before entering submodules. This is normally
a good thing since we want to clear settings such as GIT_WORKTREE and
other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands.
However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to
preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all
configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent
project.

Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be
used to sanitize GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, removing all key/value pairs
except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.

Replace all the calls to clear_local_git_env with a wrapped function
that filters GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS using the new helper and then
restores it to the filtered subset after clearing the rest of the
environment.

Notes:
    - v2
    * Clarify which paramaters are left after the sanitization, and don't seem to
      indicate it is our goal to extend the list.
    * add a comment in the submodule_config_ok function indicating the same
    
    - v3
    * Remove extraneous comments
    * add strbuf_release calls
    * rename sanitize_local_git_env
    * remove use of local
    * add C equivalent of sanitize_config
    * add a test for the credential passing
    
    - v4
    * use argc check instead of empty options check
    * fix brain-melting quotes in t7412-submodule--helper.sh

This can (and should) be "<<-\EOF", right?

I happened to be writing a test with the exact same problem (embedded
single-quotes) today, and realized we have another solution which is
used elsewhere in the test suite:

  sq="'"
  test_expect_success '...' '
	echo "${sq}credential.helper=helper${sq}" >expect &&
	...
  '

that is slightly more verbose, but it does let us keep the main body
inside single-quotes, without restoring to confusing backslash escaping.

Yes, I actually meant <<-\EOF but forgot while writing it.

I think I prefer the double quotes myself but will use this if people prefer?

On second thought, I'd prefer consistency and I think using single
quotes is probably better, so I'll use this solution in v5.

Thanks,
