This applies on top of the just sent series which is going to replace sb/submodule-parallel-update, replacing sb/submodule-init.

* Using enums for the submodule update strategy now.

Thanks, Stefan

[PATCH 1/2] submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C

Later on we want to automatically call `git submodule init` from other commands, such that the users don't have to initialize the submodule themselves. As these other commands are written in C already, we'd need the init functionality in C, too. The `resolve_relative_url` function is a large part of that init functionality, so start by porting this function to C.

To create the tests in t0060, the function `resolve_relative_url` was temporarily enhanced to write all inputs and output to disk when running the test suite. The added tests in this patch are a small selection thereof.

Not just "no" but we should say what the expected outcome is. I think all of them should error out?

Given how chop_last_dir() works, I think this function is broken when a local part has a colon in its path component, too. I do not think the scripted version did any better on such a URL; just another thing that NEEDSWORK comment should list as a thing to be fixed in the future.

The tests with absolute paths all fail on Windows. The reason is that git.exe sees mangled paths and 'git submodule--helper resolve-relative-url-test' produces mangled paths (that begins with a drive letter), whereas the test script expects POSIX paths. The pattern I currently use to fix this is

test_submodule_relative_url "(null)" "$PWD/addtest" "../repo" "$(pwd)/repo"

(In our test scripts, $PWD is a POSIX style path and $(pwd) is a Windows style path).

With this change, the penultimate case above still fails because the 'home2/..' gets lost somewhere in the actual output, which I still have to debug.

The two cases beginning with '/u//' cannot be tested on Windows. Are they important? Are the doubled slashes intentional?

The way I got the test cases is by inserting a debug printf into the shell script and then running the test suite (as that ought to work correct and cover everything).

And the double slash is intentional, somewhere in the test suite we have a case where that occurs. It may be a calling error?

Thanks for looking into this on the Windows side :)

Thanks, Stefan

[PATCH 2/2] submodule: port init from shell to C

By having the `init` functionality in C, we can reference it easier from other parts in the code.

This feeds submodule_config() function with the contents of ".gitmodules".

I am assuming that this corresponds to these lines in the original scripted version:

		url=$(git config -f .gitmodules submodule."$name".url)
		test -z "$url" &&
		die "$(eval_gettext "No url found for submodule path...

but what makes git_config_get_string() to read from ".gitmodules" file? Doesn't it read from $GIT_DIR/config & ~/.gitconfig instead?

Does the code inside this block correspond to this single line in the original?

	url=$(git submodule--helper resolve-relative-url "$url") || exit
It seems to be doing quite a different thing, though.

This part of the code is supposed to read from in-tree ".gitmodules" and copy to $GIT_DIR/config (i.e. git_config_set() below), but again, I am not sure what makes this read from ".gitmodules".

Puzzled.

I am starting to suspect that reading of ".gitmodules" in the context of "git submodule" command is a good use case for the configset API. It wants to read variables from ".gitmodules" and the regular configuration file, and cares about where they come from, illustrated by this codepath. Read URL from .gitmodules, do something to it, and update the regular configuration file. Read Update from .gitmodules, do some verification, and selectively store it in the regular configuration file. There may be cases where you want to check if a variable is in the regular configuration file (i.e. read from there), see its value in ".gitmodules", and conditionally update the regular configuration file (i.e. write into it). The configset API was designed to help implement this kind of thing in a clean manner (i.e. initialize one, add ".gitmodules" file, and then configset_get_* on it, without affecting what you read and write with the regular config_get_*/config_set_* to the regular configuration file).
