[PATCH v3 3/5] submodule.c: add .gitmodules staging helper functions

From
Jens Lehmann <jens.lehmann@web.de>
Date
Jul 30, 2013, 19:50 UTC
Message-ID
<51F8190A.3030002@web.de>
In-Reply-To
<51F8187F.7040603@web.de>

Add the new is_staging_gitmodules_ok() and stage_updated_gitmodules() functions to submodule.c. The first makes it possible for call sites to see if the .gitmodules file did contain any unstaged modifications they would accidentally stage in addition to those they intend to stage themselves. The second function stages all modifications to the .gitmodules file, both will be used by subsequent patches for the mv and rm commands.
