In 74703a1e4d (2015-09-02, submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C), "submodule deinit ." was broken. The original module_list accepted '.' as a pathspec just fine, as it was using git ls-files -z --error-unmatch --stage -- "$@" || { custom filtering} and git ls-files doesn't make a difference between "." and no arguments there. When using the parse_pathspec function in C, this is a difference however, when no path matches. 'submodule deinit' asks users to explicitely to give '.' instead of empty arguments to specify all submodules (as a safety measure?), so we have to support that as well. Add a test case to prevent this error coming up again and fix this by special casing '.' in the new module_list to reduce the difference between the old and new module_list. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This applies on v2.7.4 I looked at alternatives of how to fix it, e.g. later in module_list to make an exception for calling if (ps_matched && report_path_error(ps_matched, pathspec, prefix)) result = -1; but that is similarly ugly. builtin/submodule--helper.c | 8 ++++++++ t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index ed764c9..47e6839 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -23,6 +23,14 @@ static int module_list_compute(int argc, const char **argv, { int i, result = 0; char *ps_matched = NULL; + + /* + * We need to treat a path spec of '.' the same as an empty + * path spec, because "submodule deinit" wants to be given '.' + * instead of an empty list. + */ + if (argc == 1 && !strcmp(".", argv[0])) + argv[0] = NULL; parse_pathspec(pathspec, 0, PATHSPEC_PREFER_FULL | PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_CHEAP, diff --git a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh index be82a75..fdf7105 100755 --- a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh +++ b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh @@ -849,6 +849,16 @@ test_expect_success 'set up a second submodule' ' git commit -m "submodule example2 added" ' +test_expect_success 'submodule deinit -f . works on empty repository' ' + test_when_finished "rm -rf newdirectory" && + mkdir newdirectory && + ( + cd newdirectory && + git init && + git submodule deinit . + ) +' + test_expect_success 'submodule deinit should remove the whole submodule section from .git/config' ' git config submodule.example.foo bar && git config submodule.example2.frotz nitfol && -- 2.7.4.1.g33fcf9d -- 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
