[PATCH] submodule: fix NULL correctness in renamed broken submodules

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

 



When fetching with recursing into submodules, the fetch logic inspects
the superproject which submodules actually need to be fetched. This is
tricky for submodules that were renamed in the fetched range of commits.
This was implemented in c68f8375760 (implement fetching of moved
submodules, 2017-10-16), and this patch fixes a mistake in the logic
there.

When the warning is printed, the `name` might be NULL as
default_name_or_path can return NULL, so fix the warning to use the path
as obtained from the diff machinery, as that is not NULL.

While at it, make sure we only attempt to load the submodule if a git
directory of the submodule is found as default_name_or_path will return
NULL in case the git directory cannot be found. Note that passing NULL
to submodule_from_name is just a semantic error, as submodule_from_name
accepts NULL as a value, but then the return value is not the submodule
that was asked for, but some arbitrary other submodule. (Cf. 'config_from'
in submodule-config.c: "If any parameter except the cache is a NULL
pointer just return the first submodule. Can be used to check whether
there are any submodules parsed.")
