SUMMARY OF MY PROJECT: Git submodule subcommands are currently implemented by using shell script 'git-submodule.sh'. There are several reasons why we'll prefer not to use the shell script. My project intends to convert the subcommands into C code, thus making them builtins. This will increase Git's portability and hence the efficiency of working with the git-submodule commands. Link to the complete proposal: [1] Mentors: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> Christian Couder <christian.couder@xxxxxxxxx> UPDATES: Following are the updates about my ongoing project: 1. sync and status: The improvisions for the ported functions were implemented. I'm planning on floating a series patches, containing all the ported functions put together, but recently encountered some issue with the get_submodule_displaypath function, I haven't yet posted an updated version of the above ported function.The issues are now resolved. Hence, soon I plan on posting their updated versions. 2. deinit: As planned for the week, this submodule subcommand is ported from shell to C. But still, there are some tests, the ported functions are failing. Along with the updated versions of 'status' and 'sync', I'll also be posting a WIP patch about this subcommand ported. 3. summary: Porting of this subcommand is still underway. I choose to do the porting of this subcommand after deinit as it was smaller and hence porting this subcommand is still left. 4. count_slashes: A function was introduced in dir.h for reducing the code-duplication as similar functions exist in apply.c and builtin/show-branch.c PLAN FOR WEEK-5 (13 June 2017 to 19 June 2017): 1. sync and status: Since the changes are ready, I plan to post the complete series of the updated version soon as a single series of patches. 2. summary: As this is still underway, I'll be finishing this submodule subcommand in the following week. 3. foreach: To unblock the conversion of this submodule subcommand, I'll be focusing on porting the original cmd_foreach, and will not be including the BUG-FIX patch here. An additional NEEDSWORK comment will be added to the ported function, stating the reported bug, and not resolving the bug in this patch series. 4. deinit: As mentioned earlier, there is still some debugging left for the ported functions. I plan to debug them and discuss the patch for further improvisions this week. [1]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1krxVLooWl--75Pot3dazhfygR3wCUUWZWzTXtK1L-xU/ Thanks, Prathamesh Chavan
