From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> Don't assume that the current working directory is the root of the repository. Correctly generate the path for the recursing child processes by building it from the work_tree() root instead. Otherwise if we run ls-files using --git-dir or --work-tree it will not work correctly as it attempts to change directory into a potentially invalid location. Best case, it doesn't exist and we produce an error. Worst case we cd into the wrong location and unknown behavior occurs. Add a new test which highlights this possibility. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure that I'm convinced by this method of solving the problem as I suspect it has some corner cases (what about when run inside a subdirectory? It seems to work for me but I'm not sure...) Additionally, it felt weird that there's no helper function for creating a toplevel relative path. builtin/ls-files.c | 5 ++++- t/t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh | 11 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/builtin/ls-files.c b/builtin/ls-files.c index e9b3546ca053..a6c70dbe9ec8 100644 --- a/builtin/ls-files.c +++ b/builtin/ls-files.c @@ -203,6 +203,7 @@ static void show_gitlink(const struct cache_entry *ce) { struct child_process cp = CHILD_PROCESS_INIT; int status; + char *dir; prepare_submodule_repo_env(&cp.env_array); argv_array_push(&cp.env_array, GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT); @@ -221,8 +222,10 @@ static void show_gitlink(const struct cache_entry *ce) argv_array_pushv(&cp.args, submodule_options.argv); cp.git_cmd = 1; - cp.dir = ce->name; + dir = mkpathdup("%s/%s", get_git_work_tree(), ce->name); + cp.dir = dir; status = run_command(&cp); + free(dir); if (status) exit(status); } diff --git a/t/t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh b/t/t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh index c8030dd3299a..ebb956fd16cc 100755 --- a/t/t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh +++ b/t/t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh @@ -82,6 +82,17 @@ test_expect_success 'ls-files recurses more than 1 level' ' test_cmp expect actual ' +test_expect_success 'ls-files works with GIT_DIR' ' + cat >expect <<-\EOF && + .gitmodules + c + subsub/d + EOF + + git --git-dir=submodule/.git ls-files --recurse-submodules >actual && + test_cmp expect actual +' + test_expect_success '--recurse-submodules and pathspecs setup' ' echo e >submodule/subsub/e.txt && git -C submodule/subsub add e.txt && -- 2.12.2.776.gded3dc243c29.dirty
