Subject: [PATCH] git-submodule.sh: avoid "test <cond> -a/-o <cond>"
Message-ID: <1402418594-1377-1-git-send-email-gitter.spiros@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1402418594-1377-1-git-send-email-gitter.spiros%40gmail.com

```
The construct is error-prone; "test" being built-in in most modern
shells, the reason to avoid "test <cond> && test <cond>" spawning
one extra process by using a single "test <cond> -a <cond>" no
longer exists.

This is the fifth revision.

Change based on Junio bugfix and better rewrite of the case condition
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/251198

I dropped also the echo -> printf replacement for doing
it in another patch.

Pass all the t/*submodule* tests. Finally ! :=)

Thank you all very much and sorry for the mess.

Hmmmm.  Is the above correct?

    $ if ! false && true; then echo true; else echo false; fi
    true

In other words, "! cmd1 && cmd2" parses not as "! (cmd1 && cmd2)"
but as "(! cmd1) && cmd2".

It almost makes me wonder if the code may become simpler if we did
it the way in the attached.  That is, "if $sm_path/.git is there
(whether as an embedded repository, or a file pointing to a
repository elsewhere), then grab its HEAD, otherwise $sm_path is a
submodule that hasn't been run 'submodule init' on, so run the whole
nine yards starting from module_clone".

Such a rewrite is not within the scope of this series, so 

	if ! test -d "$sm_path/.git" && ! test -f "$sm_path/.git"

may be the closest to the original intent, I would think.
