Greetings, This is the v2 of the previous patch series with the same title. The v1 received some comments from Junio and Kaartic. The following changes were made: PATCH[3/3] received the comment that it had an unnecessary 'char *dst_abbrev = NULL' which had to be reverted to 'char *dst_abbrev' since the assignment was pretty much useless. The commit message also needed some changes in the sense that it stated that the change of guarding the 'verify_submodule_committish()' call was made for dst_abbrev as well which wasn't the case. Junio also suggested to clarify the reason for not having the guard in case of 'dst_abbrev'. Another thing which came up was the cleanup of 'submodule--helper.c'. IT started with Junio commenting on PATCH[2/3] 'submodule: fix style in function definition'. He asked me to verify if there are any other similar faults regarding function or variable defintions which had a faulty asterisk placement. I did some digging and found a fault here in submodule--helper.c: static char *compute_rev_name(const char *sub_path, const char* object_id) As yiou may notice, the correction should be 's/static char */static char* /. I also did some further digging and found that there we some other minor faults in the option descriptions of various subcommands. For instance in module_foreach: struct option module_foreach_options[] = { OPT__QUIET(&info.quiet, N_("Suppress output of entering each submodule command")), OPT_BOOL(0, "recursive", &info.recursive, N_("Recurse into nested submodules")), OPT_END() }; The option descriptions should start in lowercase but they start with a capital letter. This convention is mentioned in L267-270 of 'api-parse-options.txt'. There are other such small violations such as die() messages starting with a captial letter. I will do this cleanup after some time when I am a bit free since I have some personal engagements right now. Or something even better could be to add this as a 'good first issue' on gitgitgadget/git so that a newcomer can be something relatively easy and get familiar with the way work is done at Git. Please do tell what seems more fitting to you. Also, to be clear, I am not suggesting the latter out of laziness. I am attaching a range-diff b/w v1 and v2 below for ease of review. Feedback and reviews are appreciated.
