The "--super-prefix" facility was introduced in [1] has always been a transitory hack, which is why we've made it an error to supply it as an option to "git" to commands that don't know about it. That's been a good goal, as it has a global effect we haven't wanted calls to get_super_prefix() from built-ins we didn't expect. But it has meant that when we've had chains of different built-ins using it all of the processes in that "chain" have needed to support it, and worse processes that don't need it have needed to ask for "SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX" because their parent process needs it. That's how "fsmonitor--daemon" ended up with it, per [2] it's called from (among other things) "submodule--helper absorbgitdirs", but as we declared "submodule--helper" as "SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX" we needed to declare "fsmonitor--daemon" as accepting it too, even though it doesn't care about it. But in the case of "absorbgitdirs" it only needed "--super-prefix" to invoke itself recursively, and we'd never have another "in-between" process in the chain. So we didn't need the bigger hammer of "git --super-prefix", and the "setenv(GIT_SUPER_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT, ...)" that it entails. Let's instead accept a hidden "--super-prefix" option to "submodule--helper absorbgitdirs" itself. Eventually (as with all other "--super-prefix" users) we'll want to clean this code up so that this all happens in-process. I.e. needing any variant of "--super-prefix" is itself a hack around our various global state, and implicit reliance on "the_repository". This stepping stone makes such an eventual change easier, as we'll need to deal with less global state at that point. The "fsmonitor--daemon" test adjusted here was added in [3]. To assert that it didn't run into the "--super-prefix" message it was asserting the output it didn't have. Let's instead assert the full output that we *do* have, using the same pattern as a preceding change to "t/t7412-submodule-absorbgitdirs.sh" used. We could also remove the test entirely (as [4] did), but even though the initial reason for having it is gone we're still getting some marginal benefit from testing the "fsmonitor" and "submodule absorbgitdirs" interaction, so let's keep it. The change here to have either a NULL or non-"" string as a "super_prefix" instead of the previous arrangement of "" or non-"" is somewhat arbitrary. We could also decide to never have to check for NULL. As we'll be changing the rest of the "git --super-prefix" users to the same pattern, leaving them all consistent makes sense. Why not pick "" over NULL? Because that's how the "prefix" works[5], and having "prefix" and "super_prefix" work the same way will be less confusing. That "prefix" picked NULL instead of "" is itself arbitrary, but as it's easy to make this small bit of our overall API consistent, let's go with that. 1. 74866d75793 (git: make super-prefix option, 2016-10-07) 2. 53fcfbc84f6 (fsmonitor--daemon: allow --super-prefix argument, 2022-05-26) 3. 53fcfbc84f6 (fsmonitor--daemon: allow --super-prefix argument, 2022-05-26) 4. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20221109004708.97668-5-chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx/ 5. 9725c8dda20 (built-ins: trust the "prefix" from run_builtin(), 2022-02-16) Signed-off-by: Glen Choo <chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- builtin/submodule--helper.c | 7 +++---- git.c | 2 +- parse-options.h | 4 ++++ submodule.c | 12 +++++++----- t/t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh | 36 ++++++++++++++---------------------- 5 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/submodule--helper.c b/builtin/submodule--helper.c index da844cad5ce..b8b2bc776d1 100644 --- a/builtin/submodule--helper.c +++ b/builtin/submodule--helper.c @@ -2834,8 +2834,9 @@ static int absorb_git_dirs(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) int i; struct pathspec pathspec = { 0 }; struct module_list list = MODULE_LIST_INIT; - const char *super_prefix; + const char *super_prefix = NULL; struct option embed_gitdir_options[] = { + OPT__SUPER_PREFIX(&super_prefix), OPT_END() }; const char *const git_submodule_helper_usage[] = { @@ -2850,7 +2851,6 @@ static int absorb_git_dirs(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (module_list_compute(argv, prefix, &pathspec, &list) < 0) goto cleanup; - super_prefix = get_super_prefix(); for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) absorb_git_dir_into_superproject(list.entries[i]->name, super_prefix); @@ -3391,8 +3391,7 @@ int cmd_submodule__helper(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (strcmp(subcmd, "clone") && strcmp(subcmd, "update") && strcmp(subcmd, "foreach") && strcmp(subcmd, "status") && - strcmp(subcmd, "sync") && strcmp(subcmd, "absorbgitdirs") && - get_super_prefix()) + strcmp(subcmd, "sync") && get_super_prefix()) /* * xstrfmt() rather than "%s %s" to keep the translated * string identical to git.c's. diff --git a/git.c b/git.c index 277a8cce840..e473b4b7d72 100644 --- a/git.c +++ b/git.c @@ -539,7 +539,7 @@ static struct cmd_struct commands[] = { { "format-patch", cmd_format_patch, RUN_SETUP }, { "fsck", cmd_fsck, RUN_SETUP }, { "fsck-objects", cmd_fsck, RUN_SETUP }, - { "fsmonitor--daemon", cmd_fsmonitor__daemon, SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX | RUN_SETUP }, + { "fsmonitor--daemon", cmd_fsmonitor__daemon, RUN_SETUP }, { "gc", cmd_gc, RUN_SETUP }, { "get-tar-commit-id", cmd_get_tar_commit_id, NO_PARSEOPT }, { "grep", cmd_grep, RUN_SETUP_GENTLY }, diff --git a/parse-options.h b/parse-options.h index b6ef86e0d15..50d852f2991 100644 --- a/parse-options.h +++ b/parse-options.h @@ -369,6 +369,10 @@ int parse_opt_tracking_mode(const struct option *, const char *, int); { OPTION_CALLBACK, 0, "abbrev", (var), N_("n"), \ N_("use <n> digits to display object names"), \ PARSE_OPT_OPTARG, &parse_opt_abbrev_cb, 0 } +#define OPT__SUPER_PREFIX(var) \ + OPT_STRING_F(0, "super-prefix", (var), N_("prefix"), \ + N_("prefixed path to initial superproject"), PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN) + #define OPT__COLOR(var, h) \ OPT_COLOR_FLAG(0, "color", (var), (h)) #define OPT_COLUMN(s, l, v, h) \ diff --git a/submodule.c b/submodule.c index bf19598b8c2..46a03473195 100644 --- a/submodule.c +++ b/submodule.c @@ -2275,7 +2275,8 @@ int validate_submodule_git_dir(char *git_dir, const char *submodule_name) * Embeds a single submodules git directory into the superprojects git dir, * non recursively. */ -static void relocate_single_git_dir_into_superproject(const char *path) +static void relocate_single_git_dir_into_superproject(const char *path, + const char *super_prefix) { char *old_git_dir = NULL, *real_old_git_dir = NULL, *real_new_git_dir = NULL; struct strbuf new_gitdir = STRBUF_INIT; @@ -2305,7 +2306,7 @@ static void relocate_single_git_dir_into_superproject(const char *path) real_new_git_dir = real_pathdup(new_gitdir.buf, 1); fprintf(stderr, _("Migrating git directory of '%s%s' from\n'%s' to\n'%s'\n"), - get_super_prefix_or_empty(), path, + super_prefix ?
