this series all looks good to me.  thanks for re- and re-re-rolling.

I'm currently hacking on "git submodule deinit" which removes the 'url'
setting from git/config. This should do the trick for you, right?

Just removing that submodule automagically would not work that well, as
it would deinitialize a submodule when you switch to a branch where it
isn't present and you'd have to reinitialize it when you come back.

* Inconsistency in messages about --set-upstream from git pull and git branch
From: Dan Rosén @ 2012-12-01 15:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

I added a new origin to a repository and did git pull and got this message:

 * [new branch]      master     -> origin/master
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details

    git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream master origin/<branch>


I followed the instructions:
$ git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider
using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.

I was using git version 1.8.0 precompiled for Arch Linux.

I tried to find an issue tracker but perhaps it is appropriate to
report this inconsistency to this mailing list.

Best,
Dan

Good point, but this should depend on submodule.<name>.update; having
it as a side effect of a local submodule.<name>.url makes no sense.
Perhaps `submodule init` should be reduced to just wrap:

  $ git config submodule.<name>.update checkout

where the default update configuration would be 'none'.

If you want to override the old repository location for an old commit,
setting submodule.<name>.url makes sense.  My rewritten `sync` updates
the local submodule.<name>.url in the superproject if the
configuration option is already set [1].  Perhaps a `sync --local`
invocation should forcibly populate the local submodule.<name>.url to
make this workflow easier.  Bundling sugar for this special case
should not happen under an extra command called `init`.

I'm currently working out the details independently against v1.8.0.
This will be a fairly major shift, so I think it should stay
independent of `update --remote`.  The `update --remote` stuff should
be easy to adjust/rebase if the `init` removal/adjustment develops
into something acceptable.

Trevor

I think this is another case where we should be looping through
submodules based on the revision-specific .gitmodules content, and
querying the local config only to determine if the user wants to
update them (to drop into them with foreach, etc.).

* [PATCH] submodule: add 'deinit' command
From: Jens Lehmann @ 2012-12-01 16:45 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Phil Hord
  Cc: W. Trevor King, Git, Heiko Voigt, Junio C Hamano, Jeff King,
	Shawn Pearce, Nahor
In-Reply-To: <50BA2892.7060706@web.de>

With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one
or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git
submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he
does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local
work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the
"submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config himself).

Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the url
setting from .git/config either for the given submodule(s) or for all
those which have been initialized if none were given. Complain only when
for a submodule given on the command line the url setting can't be found
in .git/config.

Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm" to
assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the submodule
is the right thing to do for him.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1522 bytes --]

I'm currently stuck with adding a commit-less existing repository as a
submodule (which happens in t7400-submodule-basic.sh, ../bar/a/b/c
works with relative local path):

  $ mkdir -p super/sub
  $ cd super
  $ git init
  $ (cd sub && git init)
  $ git submodule add ./ sub
  $ git status
  # On branch master
  #
  # Initial commit
  #
  # Changes to be committed:
  #   (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
  #
  #       new file:   .gitmodules
  #

What I'm missing is a gitlink form sub for 'Subproject commit
00000...' or some such.  When the subproject has an actual commit,
things work as expected:

  $ mkdir -p super/sub
  $ cd super
  $ git init
  $ (cd sub && git init && echo line-1 > file && git add file && git commit -m file)
  $ git submodule add ./ sub
  $ git status
  # On branch master
  #
  # Initial commit
  #
  # Changes to be committed:
  #   (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
  #
  #       new file:   .gitmodules
  #       new file:   sub
  #

This means that module_list isn't aware of the empty submodule, when
the user has just explicitly added it.  Fixing this would seem to need
either 'Subproject commit 00000...' as I suggested earlier, or an
adjustment to module_list that also spits out submodules that are in
.gitmodules but not in the index.

Cheers,
Trevor

Sorry, but that makes tons of sense: url controls if the submodule
is to be populated and from where, update controls how (and can even
veto populating it if set to "none"). We /could/ do it differently,
but I can't see why we should (and risk severe compatibility issues).

What real world problems do we have with the current init/sync that

I totally agree. Let's get the `update --remote` stuff ready first.

I think removing `init` will cause some compatibility issues anyway,
so I was re-imaging how you do it.  I don't think update='none' and
"don't populate my submodule" are distinct ideas, while a locally
configured url="somwhere" and "please populate my submodule" are (with
the blank-url case defaulting to the superproject itself).

I don't have any, but in my `update --remote` series I'm adding two
new config options that are handled differently (define in
.gitmodules, override in superproject .git/config) than existing
submodules options.  I'm trying to avoid confusing users by
standardizing on the more flexible method, which avoids copying stuff
into the superproject's .git/config, and under which the current
`init` functionality doesn't make much sense.

Ok, but we'll have the possible confusion about option setting that I
mention above.  Still, it's good to minimize the number of irons in
the fire, and an `init` removal will probably not get in until 2.0
anyway.  If other people are fine with the different initialization
paths, I'll put the init-removal on hold for now.

Cheers,
Trevor

Why would we want to remove "init"? It still has to copy the "url"
setting (and it would be a compatibility nightmare if we would change
that, imagine different git versions used on the same work tree).

No, they're not. They are just handled differently than "url" and
"update", but will behave just like "fetchRecurseSubmodules" and
"ignore" do since day one. And as I explained in another mail I
think "url" is special and "update" should be change to behave like
the other two some day.

In my init-less rewrite, it doesn't have to copy the url setting.
People using older versions of Git would need to run `init` using
their old version.  Having the url defined in .git/config won't break
my init-less submodule commands, it just means that the value in
.gitmodules will be masked.

I somehow missed those earlier.  Thanks for correcting my tunnel
vision.  This makes me much happier about postponing the init-removal.

I fully agree with your analysis on the reason why the "url" element
is special and has to be copied to $GIT_DIR/config, but when you
deinit (or uninit) a submodule to say you are no longer interested
in it and do not want it populated in the context of the
superproject, I am not sure if removing only submodule.$name.url (so
that when you later decide to "init" it again, you will keep the
values for submodule.$name.update and other things from the previous
life) is the sane thing to do, or it is better to remove
submodule.$name.* altogether as if an earlier "init" has never
happened.  Would it be worth analyzing the pros-and-cons here?

Wait.

I at least read two points above you said what you wrote in the
commit was not corrrect and misleading to later readers.  And then I
hear "it's good".  Which one?

Are you merely saying that it is easily fixable to become good?  If
so, what do you want to do with these not-so-good part?

If you want to ask me to amend, that is fine, but do so in a more
explicit way, not in a message at the tail of long thread that is
not even CC'ed to me.

Of course, a proper re-roll like everybody else does is just fine.

Paul, this patch is not done against your tree (does not have gitk
at the top-level), but other than that, the change mimics the way
existing hideremoes is implemented and looks reasonable to me.

We _may_ want to unify these two "hidestuff" into a list of patterns
that hides any ref that match one of the patterns in the list, e.g.

	set hidestuff {refs/heads/*/* refs/tags/* refs/remotes/*}

may hide all tags, all remote-tracking branches and local branches
that have a slash in their names.

But that is an independent change that can come later.

Yes, it is redundant.  They are primarily meant as a warning to
anybody who runs "git diff --stat" while their index is not fully
merged so that they do not mistakenly think they are looking at
meaningful numbers.  The number of added lines likely includes the
conflict markers you haven't dealt with ;-)

Yeah, don't use shortstat while your index is unmerged.

Then your script wouldn't receive any hint in the output that you
are reading from a nonsense input.  When you see the same filename
twice, you will know there is something strange (not just "I seem to
have more added lines than I thought I added -- Ah, I see added
files from both sides because I still have conflicts unresolved")
that gives you a chance to notice.

* does a successful 'git gc' imply 'git fsck'
From: Sitaram Chamarty @ 2012-12-02  2:31 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List

Hi,

Background: I have a situation where I have to fix up a few hundred
repos in terms of 'git gc' (the auto gc seems to have failed in many
cases; they have far more than 6700 loose objects).  I also found some
corrupted objects in some cases that prevent the gc from completing.

I am running "git gc" followed by "git fsck".  The majority of the
repos I have worked through so far appear to be fine, but in the
larger repos (upwards of 2-3 GB) the git fsck is taking almost 5 times
longer than the 'gc'.

If I could assume that a successful 'git gc' means an fsck is not
needed, I'd save a lot of time.  Hence my question.

* [PATCH v6 3/4] submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules

In-Reply-To: <cover.1354417618.git.wking@tremily.us>

From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in
.gitmodules when you add a new submodule.  With this patch,

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
  $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

  $ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the
submodule, which is usually what you want.

From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

Don't force the user to clone from the tracked repository
(branch.<name>.remote) or `origin`.  By setting
submodule.<name>.remote in .gitmodules or the usual git config files,
you can easily point a submodule at a different remote when using
`submodule update --remote`.

The configured remote name is also used in `submodule sync` to
determine which remote.<name>.url is updated with the submodule's
origin URL.

* [PATCH v6 2/4] submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
From: W. Trevor King @ 2012-12-02  3:17 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git
  Cc: Junio C Hamano, Heiko Voigt, Jeff King, Phil Hord, Shawn Pearce,
	Jens Lehmann, Nahor, W. Trevor King
In-Reply-To: <cover.1354417618.git.wking@tremily.us>

From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f
  Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

* [PATCH v6 1/4] submodule: add get_submodule_config helper funtion
From: W. Trevor King @ 2012-12-02  3:17 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git
  Cc: Junio C Hamano, Heiko Voigt, Jeff King, Phil Hord, Shawn Pearce,
	Jens Lehmann, Nahor, W. Trevor King
In-Reply-To: <cover.1354417618.git.wking@tremily.us>

From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

Several submodule configuration variables
(e.g. fetchRecurseSubmodules) are read from .gitmodules with local
overrides from the usual git config files.  This shell function mimics
that logic to help initialize configuration variables in
git-submodule.sh.
