Commit Message

Atharva Raykar July 28, 2021, 11:53 a.m. UTC
Add a new "add-config" subcommand to `git submodule--helper` with the
goal of converting part of the shell code in git-submodule.sh related to
`git submodule add` into C code. This new subcommand sets the
configuration variables of a newly added submodule, by registering the
url in local git config, as well as the submodule name and path in the
.gitmodules file. It also sets 'submodule.<name>.active' to "true" if
the submodule path has not already been covered by any pathspec
specified in 'submodule.active'.

This is meant to be a faithful conversion from shell to C, with only one
minor change: A warning is emitted if no value is specified in
'submodule.active', ie, the config looks like: "[submodule] active\n",
because it is an invalid configuration. It would be helpful to let the
user know that the pathspec is unset, and the value of
'submodule.<name>.active' might be set to 'true' so that they can
rectify their configuration and prevent future surprises (especially
given that the latter variable has a higher priority than the former).

The structure of the conditional to check if we need to set the 'active'
toggle looks different from the shell version -- but behaves the same.
The change was made to decrease code duplication. A comment has been
added to explain that only one value of 'submodule.active' is obtained
to check if we need to call is_submodule_active() at all.

Changes since v1:

* Remove the extra handling for the case where submodule.active is valueless, as
  Junio pointed out that it is better dealt with in a cleanup patch.

* Do not discard error returns from 'config_submodule_in_gitmodules()', and also
  ensure that any calls to it in 'configure_added_submodule()' die on failure,
  like with the original shell porcelain.

* Style fixes.

v2 doesn't have the warning that this paragraph describes. So, this could
be dropped.

This could be me likely not understanding this properly. Anyways, where
is this comment in the code? I only see a comment about how 'is_submodule_active'
iterates over all values. I couldn't find any "one value" reference in it.

We could restructure this portion like so ...

-- 8< --
         add_gitmodules.git_cmd = 1;
         strvec_pushl(&add_gitmodules.args,
                      "add", "--force", "--", ".gitmodules", NULL);
                                                                                                                                                                                              
         if (config_submodule_in_gitmodules(add_data->sm_name, "path", add_data->sm_path) ||
             config_submodule_in_gitmodules(add_data->sm_name, "url", add_data->repo) ||
             (add_data->branch && config_submodule_in_gitmodules(add_data->sm_name,
                                                                 "branch", add_data->branch)) ||
             run_command(&add_gitmodules))
                 die(_("Failed to register submodule '%s'"), add_data->sm_path);
-- >8 --

.. to avoid the redundant "Failed to register submodule ..." error message.
Whether the restructured version has poor readability or not is debatable, though.

It might be a good idea to differentiate the NEEDSWORK comment from an informative
comment about the code snippet.

Also, you could add another NEEDSWORK/TODO comment regarding the change
to 'is_submodule_active' which you mention before[1].

It might be a good idea to expand this condition similar to the scripted version,
to retain the following comment which seems like a useful one to keep.

In case you're using thunderbird then you could see if the following helps:

Ah. Now I get the idea. A rephrasing might indeed make this clear.

I tried to make it as easy to read as possible but its a really long one

I think the comment you introduced only mentions that 'is_submodule_active'
iterates over configs to determine that a submodule is active. It doesn't mention
that we set the submodule's active flag if the submodule is not covered by the
current configured pathspec, which is what the original tries to convey.
Correct me if I missed anything.

I'm not against short-circuiting the conditional. I suggested expanding the conditional
so that we get a structure similar to the scripted version. That way we could keep the
original comment close to the inside conditional where it felt relevant :)

Yeah, I have pretty much been following the setup that is in the
git-format-patch [1] documentation. It worked fine until the last couple of
days. The mailing list is now rejecting all my mails. My guess is because
Thunderbird is forcing a 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7-bit' which I read causes
problems with this list [2]. Strangely, so far, this header is added only when
I send mails to git@vger.kernel.org, not elsewhere.
(sending this from GMail for now)

Here's the error message:
------8<------8<------8<------

<git@vger.kernel.org>: host 23.128.96.18[23.128.96.18] said: 550 5.7.1

    BF:<H 0>; S229739AbhG2RfR (in reply to end of DATA command)

------8<------8<------8<------

I'll try fixing my mail situation today, and if I still have problems, I'll
bring it up on a separate thread.
