[PATCH 1/2] clone: shallow-submodules should be single-branch by default

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

 



From: Bruce Perry <bruce.perry@xxxxxxxx>

Recursive cloning with with the `--shallow-submodules` command
line option (or the `shallow = true` option in .gitmodules) and
no specification of `--[no-]single-branch` does result in a
shallow submodule clone, but obtains all available branches.
This behavior is unexpected because in other circumstances
shallow clones imply single-branch clones. It also violates the
documented behavior: the documentation states that performing a
clone with `--recurse-submodules` is equivalent to doing a
nonrecursive clone then immediately running `git submodule
update --init --recursive`. However, with the `shallow = true`
option in .gitmodules, the former results in a shallow but not
single-branch clone of the submodules, while the latter results
submodules that are both shallow and single-branch.

Modify the logic for git clone with `--recurse-submodules` so
that if no option is specified for `--[no-]single-branch`, then
no `--[no-]single-branch` option is passed to the internal call
to `git submodule update --init --recursive`. As a result, the
default will be used, which is to make shallow clones also
single-branch and non-shallow clones multi-branch.

Modify the tests for shallow-submodules so that the submodule
has multiple branches and the expected behavior in terms of
obtaining branches is validated: shallow submodules must also
be single-branch, while non-shallow submodules must obtain
both branches.

Make a slight clarification to the documentation regarding
the above behavior, although primarily the effect is to bring
the behavior in line with the present documentation.
