Original cover letter for context: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20221011232604.839941-1-calvinwan@xxxxxxxxxx/ Thank you again everyone for the numerous reviews! For this reroll, I incorporated most of the feedback given, fixed a bug I found, and made some stylistic refactors. I also added a new patch at the end that swaps the serial implementation in is_submodule_modified for the new parallel one. While I had patch 6 originally smushed with the previous one, the diff came out not very reviewer friendly so it has been separated out. Changes since v4 (Patch 1) The code in run-command.c that calls duplicate_output_fn has been cleaned up and no longer passes a separate strbuf for the output. It instead passes an offset that represents the starting point in the original strbuf. (Patch 5) Moved status parsing from status_duplicate_output to status_finish. In pp_buffer_stderr::run-command.c, output is gathered by strbuf_read_once which reads 8192 bytes at once so a longer status message would error out during status parsing since part of it would be cut off. Therefore, status parsing must happen at the end of the process rather than in duplicate_output_fn (and has subsequently been moved). (Patch 6) New patch swapping serial implementation in is_submodule_modified for the new parallel one.
