[PATCH v3 3/8] submodule--helper clone: create named branch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Glen Choo <chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx>

When submodule branching is enabled (i.e. "submodule.propagateBranches =
true"), submodules are expected to have the same set of branches as the
superproject. To support this behavior in newly cloned submodules, teach
"git submodule--helper clone" to:

- clone with the "--detach" flag (so that the submodule doesn't create a
  branch corresponding to the remote's HEAD)
- create a branch when using the --branch and --branch-oid flags

The --branch and --branch-oid flags are only allowed when submodule
branching is enabled, otherwise the named branch might conflict with the
branch from the submodule remote's HEAD.

This functionality will be tested in a later commit where "git submodule
update" uses it to create and check out the correct branch when
submodule branching is enabled. "git submodule add" (which also invokes
"git submodule--helper clone") should also do something similar when
submodule branching is enabled, but this is left for a later series.

Arguably, "--detach" should also be the default for
"submodule.propagateBranches=false" since it doesn't make sense to
create a submodule branch when the submodule is always expected to be in
detached HEAD. But, to be conservative, this commit does not change the
behavior of "submodule.propagateBranches=false".
