[PATCHv3 0/2] Fix relative path issues in recursive submodules.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks Junio for review!

v3:
 * This is a resend of the last two patches of the series, i.e. it replaces
   44859d6626d4 and efdef1e2e in sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix
  
 * use absolute_path for sm_gitdir
 * removed todo
 * we need to free the intermediate sm_gitdir, so rename that to sm_gitdir_rel
   and free it afterwards.
 * while we currently do not support an absolute `path`, we eventually might.
   If `path` is absolute it would be a pointer to `argv`, which would lead to a
   crash. Duplicate the path and the crash is prevented.
 (* I thought we could use it as well for `path`, but we cannot; as 
   get_git_work_tree() != cwd)
 * diff to sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix:

v2:
 * reworded commit message for test (Thanks Junio!)
 * instead of "simplifying" the path handling in patch 2, we are prepared
   for anything the user throws at us (i.e. instead of segfault we
       die(_("submodule--helper: unspecified or empty --path"));
   (Thanks Eric, Jacob for pushing back here!)
 * reword commit message for patch 3 (safe_create_leading_directories_const is
   not a check, Thanks Junio!)
 * patch 4 (the fix): That got reworked completely. No flow controlling
   conditions in the write out phase!
 * patch 5 is a bonus! (replace fprintf by fprintf_or die) When implementing
   that I wondered if we also have close_or_die and open_or_die, but that doesn't
   seem to be the case.

Thanks,
Stefan

v1:

It took me longer than expected to fix this bug.

It comes with a test and minor refactoring and applies on top of
origin/sb/submodule-helper, such that it can be merged into 2.7, 2.8 as well
as master.

Patch 1 is a test which fails; it has a similar layout as the
real failing repository Norio Nomura pointed out, but simplified to the
bare essentials for reproduction of the bug.

Patch 2&3 are not strictly necessary for fixing the isseu, but it removes
stupid code I wrote, so the resulting code looks a little better.

Patch 4 fixes the issue by giving more information to relative_path,
such that a relative path can be found in all cases.

Thanks,
Stefan

Stefan Beller (2):
  submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths
  submodule--helper, module_clone: catch fprintf failure
