[PATCH v3 1/3] t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd

From: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>

In contrast to apache 2.2, apache 2.4 does not load mod_unixd in its default configuration (because there are choices). Thus, with the current config, apache 2.4.10 will not be started and the httpd tests will not run on distros with default apache config (RedHat type).

Enable mod_unixd to make the httpd tests run. This does not affect distros negatively which have that config already in their default (Debian type). httpd tests will run on these before and after this patch.

I am resending this as part of my series, although I have made zero
edits from what was on pu, only to show that I need this to get my
system to pass the httpd tests.

git submodule--helper clone usage specified that paths come after the -- as a sequence. However, the actual implementation does not, and requires only a single path passed in via --path. In addition, argc was unchecked. (allowing arbitrary extra arguments that were silently ignored).

Fix the usage description to match implementation. Add an argc check to enforce no extra arguments. Fix a bug in the argument passing in git-submodule.sh which would pass --reference and --depth as empty strings when they were unused, resulting in extra argc after parsing options.

After adding argc check to my new sanitize-config subcommand, I realized
that submodule--helper clone was the only one without an argc check.
When I went to add it, I realized the usage was incorrect, and the
implementation in git-submodule.sh results in extra arguments being
passed.

I am not sure this is the best way to resolve these, but I wanted to include it since I think silently accepting extra arguments we don't use is bad.

[PATCH v3 3/3] git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local git environment variables before entering submodules. This is normally a good thing since we want to clear settings such as GIT_WORKTREE and other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands. However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent project.

Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be used to sanitize GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, removing all key/value pairs except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.

Replace all the calls to clear_local_git_env with a wrapped function that filters GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS using the new helper and then restores it to the filtered subset after clearing the rest of the environment.

Notes:
    - v2
    * Clarify which paramaters are left after the sanitization, and don't seem to
      indicate it is our goal to extend the list.
    * add a comment in the submodule_config_ok function indicating the same
    - v3
    * Remove extraneous comments
    * add strbuf_release calls
    * rename sanitize_local_git_env
    * remove use of local
    * add C equivalent of sanitize_config
    * add a test for the credential passing
    - v3
    * use argc check instead of empty options check
    * fix brain-melting quotes in t7412-submodule--helper.sh

In the future, would you mind to try interdiffs in a cover letter?

(I do git diff HEAD...$(previousSeries) with previousSerier either local branch or rather what Junio picked up already. There is also tbdiff, which should be better and easier than this work flow)

This could be `strbuf_addf("%s=%s", var, value);` (?) which then gets quoted below

While at it, we could discuss if we want to replace the pattern cd <somewhere> && git-command by `git -C <somewhere> <command>` eventually (not in this patch) ?

Yes, I should do that. I could just use the reflog for this actually, for my workflow.

Is there such a thing as sq_quote_buf equivalent of this? If not, should I add one? I think that might be preferable since we'd drop the entire extra strbuf variable.

Ya, I just wasn't thinking of strbuf_addf. But I think I'd rather have sq_quote_f or something created instead to drop the need of a separate strbuf.

Yes, we should use git -C instead, but probably not worth too much effort if our plan is to drop the shell code eventually? Might be worth the cleanup, especially if it lets us avoid a subshell. If we still need the subshell for other non-git commands I would prefer to leave it as "(cd <somewhere> && git command && other commands && ... && )

Thanks, Jake
