At least the second paragraph is valuable information in the commit message, so maybe add it there?

The series that introduced submodule.recurse ends with 58f4203e7db (builtin/fetch.c: respect 'submodule.recurse' option, 2017-05-31) (sb/submodule-blanket-recursive) seems to have overlooked this only for fetch/push, as the other commands (checkout, read-tree, reset, grep) do not have their own specific setting to recurse. > @@ -88,6 +90,7 @@ static int git_fetch_config(const char *k, const char *v, void *cb) > max_children = parse_submodule_fetchjobs(k, v); > return 0; > } else if (!strcmp(k, "fetch.recursesubmodules")) { > + recurse_submodules_set_explicitly = 1; the command line option also overried explicitely, but that is ensured via the program flow (parse_config happens after git_config to overlay options, which itself was pre-seeded with fetch_config_from_gitmodules). I briefly wondered if this overlaying approach would be better (i.e. first do git_config with more generic option, and then again with the more detailed option) as it would save one global variable, but the downsides are terrible (way more work to do, more code and such), so I think having a global makes sense and gets the job done. Ideally instead of a global we'd have this flag stored in the repository struct, as eventually in the long run, fetch_populated_submodules could happen in-process instead of spawning fetch processes for each submodule (and their nested submodules which may be configured differently). But for now the global will do. Thanks! Stefan

Also document this fact. Signed-off-by: Marc Branchaud <marcnarc@xiplink.com> --- I ran into this bug when I had both fetch.recurseSubmodules=on-demand and submodule.recurse=true, and submodule.recurse was set *after* fetch.recurseSubmodules in my config. The fix ensures that fetch.recurseSubmodules always overrides submodule.recurse. If neither is set then fetch still behaves as if fetch.recurseSubmodules=on-demand (the documented default). I'm not sure if this is the most elegant implementation, but it gets the job done. M. Documentation/config.txt | 6 ++++-- builtin/fetch.c | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
