v3: * I discovered some issues with v2 after sending, which is why I rewrote the later patches completely and now we pass around a "task" struct that contains everything to know about the things to work on and what needs free()ing afterwards. * as it is no longer string list based, this drops adding string_list_{pop, last} v2: * extended commit messages, * plugged a memory leak * rewrote the patch "sha1-array: provide oid_array_filter" to be much more like object_array_fiter * fixed a typo pointed out by Ramsay. The range diff is below. Thanks, Stefan v1: Currently when git-fetch is asked to recurse into submodules, it dispatches a plain "git-fetch -C <submodule-dir>" (and some submodule related options such as prefix and recusing strategy, but) without any information of the remote or the tip that should be fetched. This works surprisingly well in some workflows, not so well in others, which this series aims to fix. The first patches provide new basic functionality and do some refactoring; the interesting part is in the two last patches. This was discussed in https://public-inbox.org/git/20180808221752.195419-1-sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx/ and I think I addressed all feedback so far.
