If this didn't pass an unused parameter, then the change is just a refactor, and I do think such a "just a refactor" can be a good step on its own to keep the future step to manageable complexity. With an unused parameter being passed, I do not think it is a good logical single step anymore, though. > Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > unpack-trees.c | 17 ++++++++++------- > 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/unpack-trees.c b/unpack-trees.c > index 3a8ee19fe8..616a0ae4b2 100644 > --- a/unpack-trees.c > +++ b/unpack-trees.c > @@ -1407,7 +1407,8 @@ static void invalidate_ce_path(const struct cache_entry *ce, > * Currently, git does not checkout subprojects during a superproject > * checkout, so it is not going to overwrite anything. > */ > -static int verify_clean_submodule(const struct cache_entry *ce, > +static int verify_clean_submodule(const char *old_sha1, > + const struct cache_entry *ce, > enum unpack_trees_error_types error_type, > struct unpack_trees_options *o) > { > @@ -1427,16 +1428,18 @@ static int verify_clean_subdirectory(const struct cache_entry *ce, > struct dir_struct d; > char *pathbuf; > int cnt = 0; > - unsigned char sha1[20]; > > - if (S_ISGITLINK(ce->ce_mode) && > - resolve_gitlink_ref(ce->name, "HEAD", sha1) == 0) { > - /* If we are not going to update the submodule, then > + if (S_ISGITLINK(ce->ce_mode)) { > + unsigned char sha1[20]; > + int sub_head = resolve_gitlink_ref(ce->name, "HEAD", sha1); > + /* > + * If we are not going to update the submodule, then > * we don't care. > */ > - if (!hashcmp(sha1, ce->oid.hash)) > + if (!sub_head && !hashcmp(sha1, ce->oid.hash)) > return 0; > - return verify_clean_submodule(ce, error_type, o); > + return verify_clean_submodule(sub_head ?
