Hello,
I ran into a bug where commits are omitted from `git submodule summary`
and friends when the submodule contains merge commits.
Originally using 2.30.2, I can also reproduce this with a fresh build on the
`next` branch (see attached bugreport).
I would assume that this is not intentional, however I cannot find any relevant
information on this.
Feel free to contact me for extra details.
Best regards,
Mel
Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Set up a submodule that has branches/merge commits:
```bash
# create repository "child"
mkdir child-repo
cd child-repo
git init
touch initial.txt
git add initial.txt
git commit -m "initial child"
cd ..
# create repository "parent"
mkdir parent
cd parent
git init
# add submodule "child" to repository "parent"
git submodule add ../child-repo/ child
git commit -am "initial parent"
cd child
# make two commits in separate branches in "child"
git switch -c "secondary"
touch s1.txt
git add s1.txt
git commit -m "s1"
git switch master
touch m1.txt
git add m1.txt
git commit -m "m1"
# merge branch "secondary" into "master" in "child" - this creates a merge commit
git merge secondary --no-edit
cd ..
```
Run `git diff --submodule=log` inside the "parent" repository.
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
`git diff --submodule=log` should show all three commits added to the "child"
submodule:
```
Submodule child XXXXXXX..YYYYYYY
> Merge branch 'secondary'
> m1
> s1
```
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
`git diff --submodule=log` only shows commits from one ancestor of the merge
commit:
```
Submodule child XXXXXXX..YYYYYYY
> Merge branch 'secondary'
> m1
```
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
All the commits added to the "secondary" branch are missing in
`git diff --submodule=log`.
Anything else you want to add:
The commit range shown by `git diff --submodule=log` is correct:
`cd child; git log XXXXXXX..YYYYYYY` shows the correct list of commits.
This bug also affects `git submodule summary`, and `git show --submodule=log`
after the changes have been committed.
