"git submodule update --filter" also requires the "--init" option. Teach update-clone to do this usage check in C and remove the check from git-submodule.sh. In addition, change update-clone's usage string so that it teaches users about "git submodule update" instead of "git submodule--helper update-clone" (the string is copied from git-submodule.sh). This should be more helpful to users since they don't invoke update-clone directly. Signed-off-by: Glen Choo <chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Since we expect users to act upon the usage string, I've updated it to reflect "git submodule update" [1] (since that's what users actually invoke), but I feel a bit iffy about not being able to use usage_with_options() (because the options and usage string are for different commands). This might indicate that this is work we should put off until the conversion to C is mostly complete, but on the other hand, the usage string is still more helpful than it used to be because we never presented users with the options anyway. [1] It's not immediately obvious which command we prefer to show - some other commands use "git submodule--helper" and others use "git submodule". builtin/submodule--helper.c | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- git-submodule.sh | 5 ----- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index 2ffc070319..3e8a05a052 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -2543,7 +2543,12 @@ static int update_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) }; const char *const git_submodule_helper_usage[] = { - N_("git submodule--helper update-clone [--prefix=<path>] [<path>...]"), + N_("git submodule [--quiet] update" + "[--init [--filter=<filter-spec>]] [--remote]" + "[-N|--no-fetch] [-f|--force]" + "[--checkout|--merge|--rebase]" + "[--[no-]recommend-shallow] [--reference <repository>]" + "[--recursive] [--[no-]single-branch] [--] [<path>...]"), NULL }; suc.prefix = prefix; @@ -2554,6 +2559,19 @@ static int update_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) memset(&filter_options, 0, sizeof(filter_options)); argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, module_update_clone_options, git_submodule_helper_usage, 0); + + if (filter_options.choice && !suc.init) { + /* + * NEEDSWORK: Don't use usage_with_options() because the + * usage string is for "git submodule update", but the + * options are for "git submodule--helper update-clone". + * + * This will no longer be an issue when "update-clone" + * is replaced by "git submodule--helper update". + */ + usage(git_submodule_helper_usage[0]); + } + suc.filter_options = &filter_options; if (update) diff --git a/git-submodule.sh b/git-submodule.sh index 51be7c7f7e..aa8bdfca9d 100755 --- a/git-submodule.sh +++ b/git-submodule.sh @@ -356,11 +356,6 @@ cmd_update() shift done - if test -n "$filter" && test "$init" != "1" - then - usage - fi - { git ${wt_prefix:+-C "$wt_prefix"} submodule--helper update-clone \ ${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} \ -- 2.33.GIT
