But even if not the reason I dropped the "fatal: " is shouldn't we just call die() here directly? Why clean up when we're dying anyway? Also since I see you used _() here that won't work, i.e. with gettet if you happen to need to declare things earlier, you need to use N_() to mark the message for translation. The _() here won't find any message translated (unless the string happened to exactly match a thing in the *.po file for other reasons, not the case here). But in this case we can just die(msg) here and have used the _() above, or just call die() directly here not having made a die_msg we usually won't use... > +static int do_run_update_procedure(struct update_data *ud) > +{ > + if ((!is_null_oid(&ud->sha1) && !is_null_oid(&ud->subsha1) && !oideq(&ud->sha1, &ud->subsha1)) || > + is_null_oid(&ud->subsha1) || ud->force) { > + int subforce = is_null_oid(&ud->subsha1) || ud->force; > + > + if (!ud->nofetch) { > + /* > + * Run fetch only if `sha1` isn't present or it > + * is not reachable from a ref. > + */ > + if (!is_tip_reachable(ud->sm_path, &ud->sha1)) > + if (fetch_in_submodule(ud->sm_path, ud->depth, ud->quiet, NULL) && > + !ud->quiet) > + fprintf_ln(stderr, > + _("Unable to fetch in submodule path '%s'; " > + "trying to directly fetch %s:"), > + ud->displaypath, oid_to_hex(&ud->sha1)); > + /* > + * Now we tried the usual fetch, but `sha1` may > + * not be reachable from any of the refs. > + */ > + if (!is_tip_reachable(ud->sm_path, &ud->sha1)) > + if (fetch_in_submodule(ud->sm_path, ud->depth, ud->quiet, &ud->sha1)) > + die(_("Fetched in submodule path '%s', but it did not " > + "contain %s.

No need to set an "int force", only to copy it over to update_data.force. Let's just use the latter only. > + > + if (sha1) > + get_oid_hex(sha1, &update_data.sha1); > + else > + oidcpy(&update_data.sha1, null_oid()); Nit: Even if a historical option forces us to support --sha1, let's use "oid" for the variable etc. But in this case the --sha1 is new, no? Let's use --object-id or --oid (whatever is more common, I didn't check)> > + > + if (subsha1) > + get_oid_hex(subsha1, &update_data.subsha1); > + else > + oidcpy(&update_data.subsha1, null_oid()); Ditto. Also I think for both of these you can re-use parse_opt_object_id. See "squash-onto" and "upstream" in builtin/rebase.c. Then you just supply an oid variable directly and let that helper do all the get_oid etc. > + if (update_data.recursive_prefix) > + prefixed_path = xstrfmt("%s%s", update_data.recursive_prefix, update_data.sm_path); > + else > + prefixed_path = xstrdup(update_data.sm_path); > + > + update_data.displaypath = get_submodule_displaypath(prefixed_path, prefix); > + > + determine_submodule_update_strategy(the_repository, update_data.just_cloned, > + update_data.sm_path, update, > + &update_data.update_strategy); > + > + free(prefixed_path); > + > + return do_run_update_procedure(&update_data); ....(continued from above) ...here just do: if (that big if condition) return do_run_update_procedure(&update_data); else return 3;
