I spoke too soon; it breaks the test I wrote to cover this case, for a reason that gives me a headache. When we hit the conditional >>> - if (!one->sha1_valid || >>> - reuse_worktree_file(name, one->sha1, 1)) { >>> + if (!S_ISGITLINK(one->mode) && >>> + (!one->sha1_valid || >>> + reuse_worktree_file(name, one->sha1, 1))) { sha1_valid=0 for the submodule on the worktree side of the diff. The reason is that we start out with sha1_valid=0 and sha1=000..000 for the worktree side of all dirty entries, which makes sense at that point. We later set the sha1 by looking inside the submodule in diff_fill_sha1_info(), but we never set sha1_valid. So the above conditional will now trigger on the !one->sha1_valid arm, completely defeating the change to reuse_worktree_file(). We can fix it like below, but it feels a bit wrong to me. Are submodules the only case where it makes sense to set sha1_valid when we fill the sha1? diff.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git i/diff.c w/diff.c index dabf913..cf7281d 100644 --- i/diff.c +++ w/diff.c @@ -3081,6 +3082,8 @@ static void diff_fill_sha1_info(struct diff_filespec *one) die_errno("stat '%s'", one->path); if (index_path(one->sha1, one->path, &st, 0)) die("cannot hash %s", one->path); + if (S_ISGITLINK(one->mode)) + one->sha1_valid = 1; } } else -- Thomas Rast tr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
