[PATCH 4/4] dir: do not traverse repositories with no commits

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

 



When treat_directory() encounters a directory that is not in the index
and DIR_NO_GITLINKS is unset, it calls resolve_gitlink_ref() to decide
if a directory looks like a repository, in which case the directory
won't be traversed.  As a result, 'status -uall' and 'ls-files -o'
will show only the directory, even when there are untracked files
within the directory.

For the unusual case where a repository doesn't have any commits,
resolve_gitlink_ref() returns -1 because HEAD cannot be resolved, and
the directory is treated as a normal directory (i.e. traversal does
not stop at the repository boundary).  The status and ls-files
commands above list untracked files within the repository rather than
showing only the top-level directory.

The above case is a corner case in an already unusual situation of the
working tree containing a repository that is not a tracked submodule,
but we might as well treat anything that looks like a repository
consistently.  Loosen the "looks like a repository" criteria in
treat_directory() by replacing resolve_gitlink_ref() with
is_nonbare_repository_dir(), one of the checks that is performed
downstream when resolve_gitlink_ref() is called with an empty
repository.

As the required update to t3700-add shows, being looser with the check
means that we're stricter when adding empty repositories to the index:

  % git add repo
  warning: adding embedded git repository: repo
  hint: You've added another git repository inside your current repository.
  hint: [...]
  error: unable to index file 'repo/'
  fatal: adding files failed

That error message isn't particularly helpful in this situation, but
it seems preferable to the old behavior of adding the repository's
untracked files.  And if the caller really wants the previous
behavior, they can get it by adding a trailing slash.
