Even when the environment was given for the top-level process, checking in the submodule work tree should use the index file associated with the work tree of the submodule. Do not export it to the environment. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * This seems to pass all the tests, so I'm inclined to push it out as a part of 1.7.0-rc1. There might be some other enviroment variables we shouldn't be leaking out to the submodule environment, but that can be spotted and fixed in later patches before the final. submodule.c | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/submodule.c b/submodule.c index ca0527f..6f7c210 100644 --- a/submodule.c +++ b/submodule.c @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ int is_submodule_modified(const char *path) "--porcelain", NULL, }; - char *env[3]; + char *env[4]; struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; strbuf_addf(&buf, "%s/.git/", path); @@ -142,7 +142,9 @@ int is_submodule_modified(const char *path) env[0] = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); strbuf_addf(&buf, "GIT_DIR=%s/.git", path); env[1] = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); - env[2] = NULL; + strbuf_addf(&buf, "GIT_INDEX_FILE"); + env[2] = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); + env[3] = NULL; memset(&cp, 0, sizeof(cp)); cp.argv = argv; @@ -161,6 +163,7 @@ int is_submodule_modified(const char *path) free(env[0]); free(env[1]); + free(env[2]); strbuf_release(&buf); return len != 0; } -- 1.7.0.rc1.141.gbc8ce -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
