PATCH v5 3/9 submodule.c: sort changed_submodule_names before searching it

In reply to Stefan Beller

We can string_list_insert() to maintain sorted-ness of the list as we find new items, or we can string_list_append() to build an unsorted list and sort it at the end just once.

As we do not rely on the sortedness while building the list, we pick the "append and sort at the end" as it has better worst case execution times.

The changed_submodule_names are only used for fetching, so let's make it part of the struct that is passed around for fetching submodules.

PATCH v5 5/9 submodule.c: do not copy around submodule list

In reply to Stefan Beller

'calculate_changed_submodule_paths' uses a local list to compute the changed submodules, and then produces the result by copying appropriate items into the result list.

Instead use the result list directly and prune items afterwards using string_list_remove_empty_items.

By doing so we'll have access to the util pointer for longer that contains the commits that we need to fetch, which will be useful in a later patch.

PATCH v5 6/9 repository: repo_submodule_init to take a submodule struct

In reply to Stefan Beller

When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index, it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that siutation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead.

While we are at it, overhaul the repo_submodule_init function by renaming the submodule repository struct, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with the struct submodule as easily.

Also move its documentation into the header file.

PATCH v5 7/9 submodule: fetch in submodules git directory instead of in worktree

In reply to Stefan Beller

This patch started as a refactoring to make 'get_next_submodule' more readable, but upon doing so, I realized that "git fetch" of the submodule actually doesn't need to be run in the submodules worktree. So let's run it in its git dir instead.

That should pave the way towards fetching submodules that are currently not checked out.

This patch leaks the cp->dir in get_next_submodule, as any further callback in run_processes_parallel doesn't have access to the child process any more. In an early iteration of this patch, the function get_submodule_repo_for directly returned the string containing the git directory, which would be a better design choice for this patch.

However the next patch both fixes the memory leak of cp->dir and also has a use case for using the full repository handle of the submodule, so it makes sense to introduce the get_submodule_repo_for here already.

PATCH v5 8/9 fetch: retry fetching submodules if needed objects were not fetched

In reply to Stefan Beller

Currently when git-fetch is asked to recurse into submodules, it dispatches a plain "git-fetch -C <submodule-dir>" (with some submodule related options such as prefix and recusing strategy, but) without any information of the remote or the tip that should be fetched.

This works surprisingly well in some workflows (such as using submodules as a third party library), while not so well in other scenarios, such as in a Gerrit topic-based workflow, that can tie together changes (potentially across repositories) on the server side. One of the parts of such a Gerrit workflow is to download a change when wanting to examine it, and you'd want to have its submodule changes that are in the same topic downloaded as well. However these submodule changes reside in their own repository in their own ref (refs/changes/<int>).

Retry fetching a submodule by object name if the object id that the superproject points to, cannot be found.

This retrying does not happen when the "git fetch" done at the superproject is not storing the fetched results in remote tracking branches (i.e. instead just recording them to FETCH_HEAD) in this step. A later patch will fix this.

builtin/fetch used to only inspect submodules when they were fetched "on-demand", as in either on/off case it was clear whether the submodule needs to be fetched. However to know whether we need to try fetching the object ids, we need to identify the object names, which is done in this function check_for_new_submodule_commits(), so we'll also run that code in case the submodule recursion is set to "on".

PATCH v5 9/9 builtin/fetch: check for submodule updates for non branch fetches

In reply to Stefan Beller

Gerrit, the code review tool, has a different workflow than our mailing list based approach. Usually users upload changes to a Gerrit server and continuous integration and testing happens by bots. Sometimes however a user wants to checkout a change locally and look at it locally. For this use case, Gerrit offers a command line snippet to copy and paste to your terminal, which looks like

git fetch https://<host>/gerrit refs/changes/<id> && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

For Gerrit changes that contain changing submodule gitlinks, it would be easy to extend both the fetch and checkout with the '--recurse-submodules' flag, such that this command line snippet would produce the state of a change locally.

However the functionality added in the previous patch, which would ensure that we fetch the objects in the submodule that the gitlink pointed at, only works for remote tracking branches so far, not for FETCH_HEAD.

Make sure that fetching a superproject to its FETCH_HEAD, also respects the existence checks for objects in the submodule recursion.
