"git submodule update" is getting rewritten piece-by-piece into C.
* sb/submodule-update-in-c:
submodule--helper: introduce new update-module-mode helper
submodule--helper: replace connect-gitdir-workingtree by ensure-core-worktree
builtin/submodule--helper: factor out method to update a single submodule
builtin/submodule--helper: store update_clone information in a struct
builtin/submodule--helper: factor out submodule updating
git-submodule.sh: rename unused variables
git-submodule.sh: align error reporting for update mode to use path
This reverts commit 7e25437d35, reversing
changes made to 00624d608c.
v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~1 (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after
update, 2018-06-18) assumes an "absorbed" submodule layout, where the
submodule's Git directory is in the superproject's .git/modules/
directory and .git in the submodule worktree is a .git file pointing
there. In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in
fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing
The context behind that patch: v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~2 (submodule: unset
core.worktree if no working tree is present, 2018-06-12) unsets
core.worktree when running commands like "git checkout
--recurse-submodules" to switch to a branch without the submodule. If
a user then uses "git checkout --no-recurse-submodules" to switch back
to a branch with the submodule and runs "git submodule update", this
patch is needed to ensure that commands using the submodule directly
are aware of the path to the worktree.
It is late in the release cycle, so revert the whole 3-patch series.
We can try again later for 2.20.

"git pull --rebase -v" in a repository with a submodule barfed as

meant, which has been fixed.
* sb/pull-rebase-submodule:
git-submodule.sh: accept verbose flag in cmd_update to be non-quiet
This chews off a bit of the shell part of the update command in
git-submodule.sh. When writing the C code, keep in mind that the
submodule--helper part will go away eventually and we want to have
a C function that is able to determine the submodule update strategy,
it as a nicety, make determine_submodule_update_strategy accessible

e98317508c (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after update,
2018-06-18) was overly aggressive in calling connect_work_tree_and_git_dir
as that ensures both the 'core.worktree' configuration is set as well as
setting up correct gitlink file pointing at the git directory.
We do not need to check for the gitlink in this part of the cmd_update
in git-submodule.sh, as the initial call to update-clone will have ensured
that. So we can reduce the work to only (check and potentially) set the
'core.worktree' setting.
While at it move the check from shell to C as that proves to be useful in
a follow up patch, as we do not need the 'name' in shell now.

In a56771a668 (builtin/pull: respect verbosity settings in submodules,
2018-01-25), we made sure to pass on both quiet and verbose flag from
builtin/pull.c to the submodule shell script. However git-submodule doesn't
understand a verbose flag, which results in a bug when invoking
git pull --recurse-submodules -v [...]
There are a few different approaches to fix this bug:
1) rewrite 'argv_push_verbosity' or its caller in builtin/pull.c to
cap opt_verbosity at 0. Then 'argv_push_verbosity' would only add
'-q' if any.
2) Have a flag in 'argv_push_verbosity' that specifies if we allow adding
-q or -v (or both).
3) Add -v to git-submodule.sh and make it a no-op
(1) seems like a maintenance burden: What if we add code after
the submodule operations or move submodule operations higher up,
then we have altered the opt_verbosity setting further down the line
in builtin/pull.c.
(2) seems like it could work reasonably well without more regressions
(3) seems easiest to implement as well as actually is a feature with the
last-one-wins rule of passing flags to Git commands.

The 'mode' variable is not used in cmd_update for its original purpose,
rename it to 'dummy' as it only serves the purpose to abort quickly
documenting this knowledge.
The variable 'stage' is also not used any more in cmd_update, so remove it.
This went unnoticed as first each function used the commonly used
submodule listing, which was converted in 74703a1e4d (submodule: rewrite
`module_list` shell function in C, 2015-09-02). When cmd_update was
using its own function starting in 48308681b0 (git submodule update:

A later patch in this series also touches the communication between
the submodule helper and git-submodule.sh, but let's have this as
a preparatory patch, as it eases the next patch, which stores the
raw data instead of the line printed for this communication.

submodule-config: verify submodule names as paths
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file,
but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our
on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by
putting "../" into the name (among other things).
Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that
can be exploited. There are two main decisions:
1. What should the allowed syntax be?
It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule
names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are
two reasons not to:
a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as
we really care only about breaking out of the
$GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a
submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually
dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has
manually given such a funny name.
b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in
fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should
be consistent across platforms. Because
verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't
block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine.
2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the
.gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so
I've put it there in the reading step. That should
cover all of the C code.
We also construct the name for "git submodule add"
inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably
not a big deal for security since the name is coming
from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind
them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to
expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our
test scripts).
This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules
and just ignores the related config entry completely.
This will generally end up producing a sensible error,
as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is
missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will
barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print
an error but not abort the clone.
There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the
warning once per malformed config key (since that's how
the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the
new test, for example, the user would see three
warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case
should never come up outside of malicious repositories
(and then it might even benefit the user to see the
message multiple times).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of
concept from which the test script was adapted goes to
Etienne Stalmans.

This is the logical continuum of fb43e31f2b (submodule: try harder to
fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1, 2016-02-23) and fixes it as
some assumptions were not correct.
The commit states:
> If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch ... fail ourselves here
> assumes that the fetch_in_submodule only fails when the serverside does
> not support fetching by sha1.
There are other failures, why such a fetch may fail, such as
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD
which can happen if the remote side doesn't advertise HEAD and we do not
have a local fetch refspec.
Not advertising HEAD is allowed by the protocol spec and would happen,
if HEAD points at an unborn branch for example.
Not having a local fetch refspec can happen when submodules are fetched
shallowly, as then git-clone doesn't setup a fetch refspec.
So do try even harder for a submodule by ignoring the exit code of the
first fetch and rather relying on the following is_tip_reachable to
see if we try fetching again.

When running 'git submodule foreach --recursive' from a subdirectory of
your repository, nested submodules get a bogus value for $path:
For a submodule 'sub' that contains a nested submodule 'nested',
running 'git -C dir submodule foreach echo $path' from the root of the
superproject would report path='../nested' for the nested submodule.
The first part '../' is derived from the logic computing the relative
path from $pwd to the root of the superproject. The second part is the
submodule path inside the submodule. This value is of little use and is
hard to document.
Also, in git-submodule.txt, $path is documented to be the "name of the
submodule directory relative to the superproject", but "the
superproject" is ambiguous.
To resolve both these issues, we could:
(a) Change "the superproject" to "its immediate superproject", so
$path would be "nested" instead of "../nested".
(b) Change "the superproject" to "the superproject the original
command was run from", so $path would be "sub/nested" instead of
"../nested".
(c) Change "the superproject" to "the directory the original command
was run from", so $path would be "../sub/nested" instead of
"../nested".
The behavior for (c) was attempted to be introduced in 091a6eb0fe
(submodule: drop the top-level requirement, 2013-06-16) with the intent
for $path to be relative from $pwd to the submodule worktree, but that
did not work for nested submodules, as the intermittent submodules
were not included in the path.
If we were to fix the meaning of the $path using (a), we would break
any existing submodule user that runs foreach from non-root of the
superproject as the non-nested submodule '../sub' would change its
path to 'sub'.
If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (b), then we would break
any user that uses nested submodules (even from the root directory)
as the 'nested' would become 'sub/nested'.
If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (c), then we would break
the same users as in (b) as 'nested' would become 'sub/nested' from
the root directory of the superproject.
All groups can be found in the wild. The author has no data if one group
outweighs the other by large margin, and offending each one seems equally
bad at first. However in the authors imagination it is better to go with
(a) as running from a sub directory sounds like it is carried out by a
human rather than by some automation task. With a human on the keyboard
the feedback loop is short and the changed behavior can be adapted to
quickly unlike some automation that can break silently.

This aims to make git-submodule 'status' a built-in. Hence, the function
cmd_status() is ported from shell to C. This is done by introducing
four functions: module_status(), submodule_status_cb(),
submodule_status() and print_status().
The function module_status() acts as the front-end of the subcommand.
It parses subcommand's options and then calls the function
module_list_compute() for computing the list of submodules. Then
this functions calls for_each_listed_submodule() looping through the
list obtained.
Then for_each_listed_submodule() calls submodule_status_cb() for each of
the submodule in its list. The function submodule_status_cb() calls
submodule_status() after passing appropriate arguments to the funciton.
Function submodule_status() is responsible for generating the status
each submodule it is called for, and then calls print_status().
Finally, the function print_status() handles the printing of submodule's
status.
Function set_name_rev() is also ported from git-submodule to the
submodule--helper builtin function compute_rev_name(), which now
generates the value of the revision name as required.

It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:
git clone $url
git add .
The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.
In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.
Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:
- the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
welcome to create whatever funny states they want.
- we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
entirely
- there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
entry before adding any submodule config), but also
provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
submodule-like things.
We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.
There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.
Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.
The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.
Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

When a submodule has its git dir inside the working dir, the submodule
support for checkout that we plan to add in a later patch will fail.
Add functionality to migrate the git directory to be absorbed
into the superprojects git directory.
The newly added code in this patch is structured such that other areas of
Git can also make use of it. The code in the submodule--helper is a mere
wrapper and option parser for the function
`absorb_git_dir_into_superproject`, that takes care of embedding the
submodules git directory into the superprojects git dir. That function
makes use of the more abstract function for this use case
`relocate_gitdir`, which can be used by e.g. the worktree code eventually
to move around a git directory.

Currently the force flag in `git submodule add` takes care of possibly
ignored files or when a name collision occurs.
However there is another situation where submodule add comes in handy:
When you already have a gitlink recorded, but no configuration was
done (i.e. no .gitmodules file nor any entry in .git/config) and you
want to generate these config entries. For this situation allow
`git submodule add` to proceed if there is already a submodule at the
given path in the index.

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
$path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.
