Rereading this, I realize you probably meant that this conflicts with part1, not part2... At the end of part1, update_submodule2() is called from inside the submodule (specifically from run_update_procedure()). So a good merge conflict resolution would be to set the config _before_ calling update_submodule2(). e.g. ----- >8 --------- >8 --------- >8 --------- >8 --------- >8 ---- diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index bef9ab22d4..f53808d995 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -2672,6 +2677,11 @@ static int run_update_procedure(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) &update_data.update_strategy); free(prefixed_path); + /* + * This entry point is always called from a submodule, so this is a + * good place to set a hint that this repo is a submodule. + */ + git_config_set("submodule.hasSuperproject", "true"); return update_submodule2(&update_data); }
