Series submodule--helper: introduce subcommands for sh to C conversion | expand

Commit Message

Atharva Raykar June 14, 2021, 12:51 p.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.

This is part of a series of changes that will result in all of
'submodule add' being converted to C.

I do not have enough expertise to judge the entire content of this
patch. I would like, however, to propose a slight code change for the
sake of readability.

This above three lines of code is very similar to the two operations that
follows (including the one inside the `if (add_data->branch)`
condition. So [ ... ]

[ ... ] it might be worth to write a small wrapper that will perform: (1)
`xstrfmt()` on the specified config section, (2) set the configuration
in the file and (3) free()'ing the variable inside the wrapper. Thus,
most of these code will become one liners that is easier to read (given
the function is properly named :) ).

After abstracting the code on the wrapper, this code will become
something like:


    function_properly_named("submodule.%s.path", add_data->sm_name, add_data->sm_path);
    function_properly_named("submodule.%s.url", add_data->sm_name, add_data->repo);
    if (add_data->branch)
         function_properly_named("submodule.%s.branch", add_data->sm_path, add_data->branch);


Just as an example, here's a diff to demonstrate the argument:

A proper name than "add_config_in_submodules_file" should be considered - I'm
not very good in naming things.

These change does (should) not change the behavior of code, even though
I believe it make the code simpler to read, I do not have strong
opinions about it. So, take this proposal as you wish.

The new function should be `static`, of course.

I agree with you, this will make the code simpler to read. It also
made me realise one thing that I did not replicate exactly from the
shell code.

The original shell code calls 'module_config()', which does an extra
check to see if writing to '.gitmodules' is okay. I did not perform
this check, and including that in the wrapper you propose will be a
good idea.

Good catch! Indeed, it should be `static`.
