* Documentation/config: clarify the meaning of submodule.<name>.updatesb/doc-config-submodule-updateStefan Beller2017-09-241-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With more commands (that potentially change a submodule) paying attention to submodules as well as the recent discussion[1] on submodule.<name>.update, let's spell out that submodule.<name>.update is strictly to be used for configuring the "submodule update" command and not to be obeyed by other commands. These other commands usually have a strict meaning of what they should do (i.e. checkout, reset, rebase, merge) as well as have their name overlapping with the modes possible for submodule.<name>.update. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/4283F0B0-BC1C-4ED1-8126-7E512D84484B@gmail.com/ submodule.<name>.update was set to "none", triggering unexpected behavior as the submodule was thought to never be touched. However a newer version of Git taught 'git pull --rebase' to also populate and rebase submodules if they were active. The newer options such as submodule.active and command specific flags would not have triggered unexpected behavior.

* Merge branch 'mh/ref-lock-entry'Junio C Hamano2017-08-261-0/+6
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries, which can make it succeed if the lock holder was holding it during a read-only operation. * mh/ref-lock-entry: refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100ms
| * refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100msmh/ref-lock-entryMichael Haggerty2017-08-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The philosophy of reference locking has been, "if another process is changing a reference, then whatever I'm trying to do to it will probably fail anyway because my old-SHA-1 value is probably no longer current". But this argument falls down if the other process has locked the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will still be able to go through after the other process has released the lock. So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating "refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot of time. Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this setting to be tweaked. Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()` and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they can be used by other reference backends.

The default is 60 days. gc.rerereUnresolved:: Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 15 days. There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate" expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never". Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work correctly without using the return value, though. In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter. But this will do for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching .gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely. In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually adding the submodule config. In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in their .gitignore file. Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few things to note: - the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is welcome to create whatever funny states they want. - we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink; updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable, and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules entirely - there's a command-line option to suppress the warning. This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the entry before adding any submodule config), but also provides a mechanism for other scripts doing submodule-like things. We could make this a hard error instead of a warning. However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with a gentle hint is probably the best option. There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is generally about context, not about the user's preferences. If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the warning.

That was mentioned in the "conditional" section, but let's make it more clear for the whole "includes" section, since people don't necessarily read the documentation top to bottom.

It was documented that it advertised such ability by default; however, it actually does not. (In that commit, notice that advertise_push_options defaults to 0, unlike advertise_atomic_push which defaults to 1.)

This ends up being cumbersome in a world where we want to have different submodules checked out in different worktrees or a more generalized mechanism to select which submodules are of interest. In a future with worktree support for submodules, there will be multiple working trees, each of which may only need a subset of the submodules checked out. The URL (which is where the submodule repository can be obtained) should not differ between different working trees. It may also be convenient for users to more easily specify groups of submodules they are interested in as opposed to running "git submodule init <path>" on each submodule they want checked out in their working tree. To this end two config options are introduced, submodule.active and submodule.<name>.active. The submodule.active config holds a pathspec that specifies which submodules should exist in the working tree. The submodule.<name>.active config is a boolean flag used to indicate if that particular submodule should exist in the working tree. Its important to note that submodule.active functions differently than the other configuration options since it takes a pathspec. This allows users to adopt at least two new workflows: 1. Submodules can be grouped with a leading directory, such that a pathspec e.g. 'lib/' would cover all library-ish modules to allow those who are interested in library-ish modules to set "submodule.active = lib/" just once to say any and all modules in 'lib/' are interesting. 2. Once the pathspec-attribute feature is invented, users can label submodules with attributes to group them, so that a broad pathspec with attribute requirements, e.g. ':(attr:lib)', can be used to say any and all modules with the 'lib' attribute are interesting. Since the .gitattributes file, just like the .gitmodules file, is tracked by the superproject, when a submodule moves in the superproject tree, the project can adjust which path gets the attribute in .gitattributes, just like it can adjust which path has the submodule in .gitmodules. Neither of these two additional configuration options solve the problem of wanting different submodules checked out in different worktrees because multiple worktrees share .git/config. Only once per-worktree configurations become a reality can this be solved, but this is a necessary preparatory step for that future. Given these multiple ways to check if a submodule is of interest, the more fine-grained submodule.<name>.active option has the highest order of precedence followed by the pathspec check against submodule.active. To ensure backwards compatibility, if neither of these options are set, git falls back to checking the submodule.<name>.url option to determine if a submodule is interesting.
