From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> git submodule--helper clone usage specified that paths come after the -- as a sequence. However, the actual implementation does not, and requires only a single path passed in via --path. In addition, argc was unchecked. (allowing arbitrary extra arguments that were silently ignored). Fix the usage description to match implementation. Add an argc check to enforce no extra arguments. Fix a bug in the argument passing in git-submodule.sh which would pass --reference and --depth as empty strings when they were unused, resulting in extra argc after parsing options. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> --- After adding argc check to my new sanitize-config subcommand, I realized that submodule--helper clone was the only one without an argc check. When I went to add it, I realized the usage was incorrect, and the implementation in git-submodule.sh results in extra arguments being passed. I am not sure this is the best way to resolve these, but I wanted to include it since I think silently accepting extra arguments we don't use is bad. builtin/submodule--helper.c | 5 ++++- git-submodule.sh | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index f4c3eff179b5..072d9bbd12a8 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -187,13 +187,16 @@ static int module_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) const char *const git_submodule_helper_usage[] = { N_("git submodule--helper clone [--prefix=<path>] [--quiet] " "[--reference <repository>] [--name <name>] [--url <url>]" - "[--depth <depth>] [--] [<path>...]"), + "[--depth <depth>] [--path <path>]"), NULL }; argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, module_clone_options, git_submodule_helper_usage, 0); + if (argc) + usage(*git_submodule_helper_usage); + strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/modules/%s", get_git_dir(), name); sm_gitdir = strbuf_detach(&sb, NULL); diff --git a/git-submodule.sh b/git-submodule.sh index 9bc5c5f94d1d..2dd29b3df0e6 100755 --- a/git-submodule.sh +++ b/git-submodule.sh @@ -347,7 +347,7 @@ Use -f if you really want to add it." >&2 echo "$(eval_gettext "Reactivating local git directory for submodule '\$sm_name'.")" fi fi - git submodule--helper clone ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} --prefix "$wt_prefix" --path "$sm_path" --name "$sm_name" --url "$realrepo" "$reference" "$depth" || exit + git submodule--helper clone ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} --prefix "$wt_prefix" --path "$sm_path" --name "$sm_name" --url "$realrepo" ${reference:+"$reference"} ${depth:+"$depth"} || exit ( clear_local_git_env cd "$sm_path" && @@ -709,7 +709,7 @@ Maybe you want to use 'update --init'?")" if ! test -d "$sm_path"/.git && ! test -f "$sm_path"/.git then - git submodule--helper clone ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} --prefix "$prefix" --path "$sm_path" --name "$name" --url "$url" "$reference" "$depth" || exit + git submodule--helper clone ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} --prefix "$prefix" --path "$sm_path" --name "$name" --url "$url" ${reference:+"$reference"} ${depth:+"$depth"} || exit cloned_modules="$cloned_modules;$name" subsha1= else -- 2.7.1.429.g45cd78e -- 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
