To determine if a repository is a worktree or not, we currently check
for the existence of a "gitdir" file inside of the repository's gitdir.
While this is sufficient for non-broken repositories, we have at least
one case of a subtly broken repository where there exists a gitdir file
inside of a gitmodule. This will cause us to misidentify the submodule
as a worktree.
While this is not really a fault of ours, we can do better here by
observing that a repository can only ever be a worktree iff its common
directory and dotgit directory are different. This allows us to make our
check whether a repo is a worktree or not more strict by doing a simple
string comparison of these two directories. This will also allow us to
do the right thing in the above case of a broken repository, as for
submodules these directories will be the same. At the same time, this
allows us to skip the `stat` check for the "gitdir" file for most
repositories.
Provide more detailed messages when conditions pass or fail
unexpectedly. In particular, this provides the error messages when a
test fails with a different error code than was expected.
Added `git_repository_submodule_cache_all` to initialze a cache of
submodules on the repository so that operations looking up N
submodules are O(N) and not O(N^2). Added a
`git_repository_submodule_cache_clear` function to remove the cache.
Also optimized the function that loads all submodules as it was itself
O(N^2) w.r.t the number of submodules, having to loop through the
`.gitmodules` file once per submodule. I changed it to process the
`.gitmodules` file once, into a map.

Test an initial submodule update, where we are trying to checkout
the submodule for the first time, and placing a file within the
submodule working directory with the same name as the submodule
(and consequently, the same name as the repository itself).
Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter
assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were
being called with a base of the repository or working directory,
and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no
bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up.
This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context
of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like
unlink symlinks that are in our way.
When we rename a submodule, we should be merging two sets of information
based on whether their path is the same. We currently only deduplicate
on equal name, which causes us to double-report.
The function was removed, but its declaration and changelog entry about
its removal were forgotten.
The comment in the test doesn't make any sense as the function doesn't
exist anymore, so get rid of it as well.
The current code will always fail, but only because it's asking for a
string on a live config. Take a snapshot and make sure we fail with
ENOTFOUND instead of any old error.
Similarly to the other ones. In this test we copy over testing
`RECURSE_YES` which shows an error in our handling of the `YES` variant
which we may have to port to the rest.
This lets us specify in the status call which ignore rules we want to
use (optionally falling back to whatever the submodule has in its
configuration).
This removes one of the reasons for having `_set_ignore()` set the value
in-memory. We re-use the `IGNORE_RESET` value for this as it is no
longer relevant but has a similar purpose to `IGNORE_FALLBACK`.
Similarly, we remove `IGNORE_DEFAULT` which does not have use outside of
initializers and move that to fall back to the configuration as well.
As submodules are becomes more like values, we should not let a status
check to update its properties. Instead of taking a submodule, have
status take a repo and submodule name.
Having this cache and giving them out goes against our multithreading
guarantees and it makes it impossible to use submodules in a
multi-threaded environment, as any thread can ask for a refresh which
may reallocate some string in the submodule struct which we've accessed
in a different one via a getter.
This makes the submodules behave more like remotes, where each object is
created upon request and not shared except explicitly by the user. This
means that some tests won't pass yet, as they assume they can affect the
submodule objects in the cache and that will affect later operations.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
Currently git_submodule_sync writes the submodule's URL to the
key 'branch.<REMOTE_NAME>.remote' while the reference
implementation of `git submodule sync` writes to
'remote.<REMOTE_NAME>.url', which is the intended behavior
according to git-submodule(1).
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
This introduces the functionality of submodule update in
'git_submodule_do_update'. The existing 'git_submodule_update' function is
renamed to 'git_submodule_update_strategy'. The 'git_submodule_update'
function now refers to functionality similar to `git submodule update`,
while `git_submodule_update_strategy` is used to get the configured value
of submodule.<name>.update.
