I couldn't figure out how "git branch" ends up calling submodule_move_head(), could you include the call chain? I find it very odd because AFAICT we only call submodule_move_head() when we are modifying the working tree (or checking if it is safe to modify), and "git branch" shouldn't touch the working tree. > The output could thus be affected by the "--super-prefix".

It's reasonable to be worried if the output contained paths to the working tree, but... > Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > t/lib-submodule-update.sh | 98 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- > 1 file changed, 55 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/t/lib-submodule-update.sh b/t/lib-submodule-update.sh > index 2d31fcfda1f..302d095ad9b 100644 > --- a/t/lib-submodule-update.sh > +++ b/t/lib-submodule-update.sh > @@ -245,6 +245,17 @@ reset_work_tree_to_interested () { > git -C submodule_update/.git/modules/sub1 config submodule.sub2.url "bogus" > } > > +test_branch_t_output () { > + local branchname="$1" && > + local start_point="$2" && > + cat >expect <<-EOF && > + branch '$branchname' set up to track '$start_point'. > + EOF > + git branch -t "$branchname" "$start_point" >actual 2>err && > + test_must_be_empty err && > + test_cmp expect actual > +} > + it looks like the output is based entirely on the ref store, which has no reason to use the super prefix. Based on the commit message in 74866d7579 (git: make super-prefix option, 2016-10-07): When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above". The paths given by the user on the command line (e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken relative to the directory "above" to match. and the fact that the super prefix has never been used for anything other than the working tree, I don't think this level of paranoia is necessary. > # Test that the superproject contains the content according to commit "$1" > # (the work tree must match the index for everything but submodules but the > # index must exactly match the given commit including any submodule SHA-1s). > @@ -323,7 +334,7 @@ test_submodule_switch_common () { > reset_work_tree_to no_submodule && > ( > cd submodule_update && > -
