I thought we'd have to resort to path mangling in shell to fix git-submodule.sh. Glad to see that we can go with something cleaner. Perhaps pull some bits from your nice Documentation into the commit message? > diff --git a/builtin/rev-parse.c b/builtin/rev-parse.c > index f267a1d..de894c7 100644 > --- a/builtin/rev-parse.c > +++ b/builtin/rev-parse.c > @@ -212,11 +212,17 @@ static void show_datestring(const char *flag, const char *datestr) > show(buffer); > } > > -static int show_file(const char *arg) > +static int show_file(const char *arg, int output_prefix) Okay, so you've essentially patched show_file() to accept an additional argument, and modified callers to call with this additional argument. I suppose show_(rev|reference|default|flag|rev|with_type|datestring|abbrev) don't need to be patched, as they are path-independent. > { > show_default(); > if ((filter & (DO_NONFLAGS|DO_NOREV)) == (DO_NONFLAGS|DO_NOREV)) { > - show(arg); > + if (output_prefix) { > + const char *prefix = startup_info->prefix; > + show(prefix_filename(prefix, > + prefix ? strlen(prefix) : 0, > + arg)); > + } else > + show(arg); Uh, why do you need output_prefix? If startup_info->prefix is set, use it. Is startup_info->prefix set by anyone by cmd_rev_parse()? > @@ -470,6 +476,7 @@ N_("git rev-parse --parseopt [options] -- [<args>...]\n" > int cmd_rev_parse(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > @@ -535,6 +542,13 @@ int cmd_rev_parse(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > i++; > continue; > } > + if (!strcmp(arg, "--prefix")) { > + prefix = argv[i+1]; > + startup_info->prefix = prefix; > + output_prefix = 1; > + i++; > + continue; > + } Wait, why isn't prefix filled in when run_builtin() calls this? Oh, right: because we didn't mark this builtin with RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY. Okay, now why didn't we change that? Because it would be a major problem (all our scripts would break) if rev-parse did cd-to-toplevel. Why are you setting prefix to argv[i+1], and then setting startup_info->prefix to that? Is anyone else in cmd_rev_parse() going to use it? > +prefix=$(git rev-parse --show-prefix) > +cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" > +eval "set -- $(git rev-parse --sq --prefix "$prefix" "$@")" I'm wondering if you need such a convoluted usage though. Will you ever need to specify a prefix by hand that is different from what git rev-parse --show-toplevel returns? If not, why don't you just rev-parse --emulate-toplevel, and get rid of specifying prefix by hand altogether? Then again, this is a plumbing command, so the simplicity is probably more valuable. > diff --git a/t/t1513-rev-parse-prefix.sh b/t/t1513-rev-parse-prefix.sh > new file mode 100755 > index 0000000..5ef48d2 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/t/t1513-rev-parse-prefix.sh > +test_expect_success 'empty prefix -- file' ' > + git rev-parse --prefix "" -- top sub1/file1 >actual && > + cat <<-EOF >expected && Nit: when you're not putting in variables, you can cat <<-\EOF. > +test_expect_success 'empty prefix HEAD:./path' ' > + git rev-parse --prefix "" HEAD:./top >actual && > + git rev-parse HEAD:top >expected && Nit: why did you change "./top" to "top"?
