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: diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index 89cbbda..be7bf5f 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -153,12 +153,13 @@ static int clone_submodule(const char *path, const char *gitdir, const char *url static int module_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { - const char *path = NULL, *name = NULL, *url = NULL; + const char *name = NULL, *url = NULL; const char *reference = NULL, *depth = NULL; int quiet = 0; FILE *submodule_dot_git; - char *sm_gitdir, *p; - struct strbuf rel_path = STRBUF_INIT; /* for relative_path */ + char *sm_gitdir_rel, *p, *path = NULL; + const char *sm_gitdir; + struct strbuf rel_path = STRBUF_INIT; struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; struct option module_clone_options[] = { @@ -198,26 +199,14 @@ static int module_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) die(_("submodule--helper: unspecified or empty --path")); strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/modules/%s", get_git_dir(), name); - sm_gitdir = strbuf_detach(&sb, NULL); - - - if (!is_absolute_path(sm_gitdir)) { - char *cwd = xgetcwd(); - strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/%s", cwd, sm_gitdir); - sm_gitdir = strbuf_detach(&sb, 0); - free(cwd); - } + sm_gitdir_rel = strbuf_detach(&sb, NULL); + sm_gitdir = absolute_path(sm_gitdir_rel); if (!is_absolute_path(path)) { - /* - * TODO: add prefix here once we allow calling from non root - * directory? - */ - strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/%s", - get_git_work_tree(), - path); + strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/%s", get_git_work_tree(), path); path = strbuf_detach(&sb, 0); - } + } else + path = xstrdup(path); if (!file_exists(sm_gitdir)) { if (safe_create_leading_directories_const(sm_gitdir) < 0) @@ -240,6 +229,7 @@ static int module_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) submodule_dot_git = fopen(sb.buf, "w"); if (!submodule_dot_git) die_errno(_("cannot open file '%s'"), sb.buf); + fprintf_or_die(submodule_dot_git, "gitdir: %s\n", relative_path(sm_gitdir, path, &rel_path)); if (fclose(submodule_dot_git)) @@ -255,8 +245,8 @@ static int module_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) relative_path(path, sm_gitdir, &rel_path)); strbuf_release(&sb); strbuf_release(&rel_path); - free(sm_gitdir); - + free(sm_gitdir_rel); + free(path); free(p); return 0; } 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.

(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.
