submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo A regression has been introduced by a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28). The scenario in which it triggers is when one has a remote repository with a subrepository inside a subrepository like this: superproject/middle_repo/inner_repo Person A and B have both a clone of it, while Person B is not working with the inner_repo and thus does not have it initialized in his working copy. Now person A introduces a change to the inner_repo and propagates it through the middle_repo and the superproject. Once person A pushed the changes and person B wants to fetch them using "git fetch" on superproject level, B's git call will return with error saying: Could not access submodule 'inner_repo' Errors during submodule fetch: middle_repo Expectation is that in this case the inner submodule will be recognized as uninitialized subrepository and skipped by the git fetch command. This used to work correctly before 'a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28)'. Starting with a62387b the code wants to evaluate "is_empty_dir()" inside .git/modules for a directory only existing in the worktree, delivering then of course wrong return value. This patch reverts the changes of a62387b and introduces a regression test. Signed-off-by: Peter Kaestle <peter.kaestle@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
