From: sangu09 <sangunb09@gmail.com>

Git diff reports a submodule directory as -dirty even when there are only untracked files in the submodule directory. This is inconsistent with what `git describe --dirty` says when run in the submodule directory in that state.

So this patch makes `git diff HEAD` consistent with `git describe --dirty` in case of untracked files. This can be solved by including the "--ignore-submodules=untracked" feature in git diff by default. So in order to make this as default behaviour I have added the behaviour of `ignore-submodules` in `repo_diff_setup()` function. Also, to avoid `ignoreSubmodules` in user config being overwritten, I have made a  global variable `diff_ignore_submodule_config` to keep a track whether `handle_ignore_submodules_arg` is called before or not.

That is a good summary of the issue that this change addresses, we normally wrap lines at 72 characters though.

> So this patch makes `git diff HEAD` consistent with `git describe --dirty` in case of untracked files. This can be solved by including the "--ignore-submodules=untracked" feature in git diff by default. So in order to make this as default behaviour I have added the behaviour of `ignore-submodules` in `repo_diff_setup()` function.

I think this could be a little more concise

This patch makes `git diff HEAD` consistent with `git describe --dirty` when a submodule contains untracked files by making `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default.

> Also, to avoid `ignoreSubmodules` in user config being overwritten, I have made a  global variable >`diff_ignore_submodule_config` to keep a track whether `handle_ignore_submodules_arg` is called before or not.

It is good that you have thought about this and it is worth mentioning in the commit message, however unfortunately that variable does not seem to exist in the patch.

Show 42 quoted lines

This unconditionally overrides diff.ignoreSubmodules, grepping seems to show that we don't have any tests that test a config value of "none". There are a few that check "dirty" which we should look at to consider if they still add value now we've changed the default.

We need to do this a a consequence of changing the default for '--ignore-submodules`, we should think what the consequences are for other users of `git status` and whether we need to do something similar there if diff.ignoreSubmodules is not set.

This checks the new default which is good

I think all the diff tests look fine and we seem to have a good mix of testing the new default and --ignore-submodules=none

I think we want to keep testing that we get the correct output when --ignore-submodules=none as well as maybe adding a couple of new tests that check the default in this file, rather than changing the expected output.

This was sent by gitgitgadget so I am unable to find how I can customize it. Can you help me with this? Or else I have set the Travis so should I send another patch using send-email?

Yes, sorry, noticed it now. I have now added a flag in diff_flags. Also, do I have to add tests that check whether diff.ignoreSubmodules is not being overwritten?

Oh okay. I understood what you said. But I couldn't figure out how to do that. As all the tests of status were passing so I don't think there might be any issue with this.

When you create the commit message you need to get your editor to wrap the lines with line breaks, how you do this depends on your editor - for emacs you can use fill-paragraph, in vim 'gq' you should be able to google it for your editor.

It would be a good idea to add [Outreachy] to the beginning of the commit subject line as well so people can easily find outreachy related patches on the list (anything inside [] is removed by `git am` when the patch is applied)

I think adding a test that checks diff.ignoreSubmodules=none is respected would be a good idea

I'm not sure if we need to do this or not, I was hoping to get some input from the list

Possibly, though I think it is more likely that we're not testing anything that gets broken by this change.

[Outreachy] [PATCH v2] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

This patch makes `git diff HEAD` consistent with `git describe --dirty` when a submodule contains untracked files by making `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default.

Also, to avoid `ignoreSubmodules` in user config being overwritten, I have made added a flag in diff_flags to keep a track whether `handle_ignore_submodules_arg` is called before or not.

I realize that you're following style of some, but not all tests, in this file, but current the way we format subshells these days is:

    (
        cd foo &&
        ...
    ) &&

Whether you should adopt modern style or use existing style is a judgment call. (If I was doing this, I might be inclined to follow modern style rather than introducing even more of the unwanted old style.)

But for really silly stuff like the 'echo', you don't need a subshell at all, so it would be cleaner to write it like this without the subshell:

    echo "xxxx" >sub1/file_in_sub &&

(But again, I see that you're just following local style.)

These days, `git` also understands -C, so this subshell likewise is not necessary, and:

    git -C sub1 add file_in_sub &&
    echo "yyyy" >>sub1/another_file_in_sub

would be equivalent. (But perhaps that diverges too much from existing style in the file? It's a judgment call.)

These one-liner subshells are super common in this particular script. These days we'd write this as:

    git -C sub reset --hard &&

Again, it's a judgment call whether to go with modern style or follow existing style of the file.

Another option is to have a preparatory patch which first modernizes the script, and then your new tests would follow modern style. But, that may be outside of scope of your submission.

To summarize: The only really actionable review comments are the minor style nits in the C code. The nits about style issues in the tests are judgement calls, and could be handled (by someone) at a later date.

Thanks for the feedback, Eric. I would add the style nits in the upcoming patch.

For the style issues in the tests maybe what I can do is I can submit another patch with this patch to modernize the test scripts of these files? I am expecting some feedback from the community on how to handle this.

If this is a microproject, then it probably makes sense just to fix the remaining style nits in the C code, and leave it at that.

Even if this is not a microproject, the answer really depends upon how much time and effort you want to devote to this. As a reviewer, I don't demand or expect you to fix all the problems in the old test scripts just to get the change accepted which prompted your submission in the first place. It's important to focus on that first rather than getting sidetracked working on stuff which may not be important to your primary goal. Also, keep in mind that fixing all the style issues in those old test scripts may require multiple preparatory patches, rather than just one, and multiple re-rolls, which could end up eating up a lot of extra time to get it all polished properly.

For these reasons, I'm inclined to suggest polishing the current submission to get it accepted. Then decide afterward if you want to devote time to working on these ancillary tasks.

[Outreachy] [PATCH v3] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

From: sangu09 <sangunb09@gmail.com>

This patch makes `git diff HEAD` consistent with `git describe --dirty` when a submodule contains untracked files by making `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default.

Also, to avoid `ignoreSubmodules` in user config being overwritten, I have made added a flag in diff_flags to keep a track whether `handle_ignore_submodules_arg` is called before or not.

Nicely written.

Instead of explaining "This patch makes...", it is more common to give an order to the codebase, i.e. "Make...".

Well, that is not "Also"; it is an integral part of making "--ignore-submodules=untracked" the _default_. We need to make sure that end-user configuration would be honored, and we need to make sure that the command line option would be honored, too.

I'd suggest to follow the excellent first paragraph above with something like the following.

	Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git
	diff` when there is no configuration variable or command
	line option, so that the command would not give '-dirty'
	suffix to a submodule whose working tree has untracked
	files, to make it consistent with `git describe --dirty`
	that is run in the submodule working tree.

This new boolean is meant to be set only when non-default ignore-submodules option is given either from the command line or from the configuration---when the bit is unset, we are told to do whatever it is that is the default for us.

And the default is to flip only this bit on. Do we need to turn off other bits that submodule.c::handle_ignore_submodules_arg() function touches? [*1*]

I like the general idea of having one bit that is set if and only if the command line or configuration told us specifically what to do, so that we can dictate the default after they were taken care of.

But I am not sure if this is a good implementation of that idea.

Case in point. I was wondering if the most future-proof way to answer the question I asked (marked with [*1*] above) was to avoid flipping the bits in options->flags ourselves, but to make a call

	handle_ignore_submodules_arg(&options, "untracked");

in repo_diff_setup(). When such an improvement is made after this patch lands, the assumption that only the end-user preference will call this function no longer holds.

Even without anticipating such a change in the future, there already is a callsite of this function in wt-status.c that hands a hardcoded string "dirty" to it. That is *not* caused by an end-user request (be it a configuration variable or a command line option), so in a sense, the assumption is already broken.

I wonder, if we can do things in a more natural way (at least the natural way in this codebase). Usually we do things in this order:

 - initialize the status and option variables to their default state.

 - read the configuration files to allow the state of these
   variables to be modified from their default state.

 - parse the command line arguments to further allow the state of
   these variables to be modified.

and then use the final state of these variables. That way, we do not even need the extra bit that is only required if we did things in an unnatural way, which is

 - read the config; remember if any bits were toggled
 - parse the command line; remember if any bits were toggled
 - only if bits weren't toggled in the above, set the default

I dunno.

Very well written. Would update the description to this. Thanks.

I fear I might not get your question clearly here. But from what I understood this boolean( flags.ignore_submodule_set ) is set only when diff.ignoreSubmodules is set in user-config.

> And the default is to flip only this bit on.  Do we need to turn off

We are not flipping the bit, we are setting it to 1. I guess we don't
have to turn off other bits because in case if
submodule.c::handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is called we don't have to
set the default value. So there's no point in flipping any other bits
as if any of them is set, the user should have added some arguments in
 ignoreSubmodules and therefore flags.ignore_submodule_set would be
set to 1 and we won't be setting the default value.

I tried making the call directly like this: handle_ignore_submodules_arg(&options, "untracked") without using the extra bit, but in the case when the user specifies diff.ignoreSubmodules in user-config, the handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is called even before repo_diff_setup() and therefore the default value overwrites the value mentioned in user-config.

Ya, that makes sense. I would look into when the config values are being read and bits are set and would try to find a way so that we can get rid of the extra bit. Thanks for pointing this out.

FWIW, I'm seeing it for the first time, so no worries ;)

The four-line paragraph I wrote above is not a question. It is normal to "think aloud" to express what the reader understood what the patch does/intends to do during the review, which gives the contributor a chance to spot misunderstanding by the reviewer.

In any case, when "git diff --ignore-submodules=<when>" command line option is parsed, diff_opt_ignore_submodules() gets called, which in turn calls handle_ignore_submodules_arg(), and you set the bit there.

So this is not limited to configuration, I think. Command line option given by the user can also affect it.

Moreover, wt-status.c:wt_status_collect_changes_index() hardcodes a call to handle_ignore_submodules_arg() with hardcoded "dirty" unless the caller specifies s->ignore_submodule_arg. This is not even user-config or any user action---it is more like a hardcoded default.

Yeah, flipping it to on is setting it to 1. We are saying the same thing, aren't we?

The reason why a helper function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() exists in the first place is because the way ignore_* bits are managed in the diff_options.flags is tricky and with a helper in between the callers and the actual bits, is easier to update in the future if needed.

So even if we assume that everybody who reacted to end-user preference would have called handle_ignore_submodules_arg(), hence we do not want to force our default when the .ignore_submodule_set bit set and we do want to do so when the bit is unset, we should do

	if (!options->flags.ignore_submodule_set)
		handle_ignore_submodules_arg("untracked");

instead of only toggling the .ignore_untracked_in_submodules bit on manually.

Have you looked for "dirty" (with double-quote around the word) in wt-status.c already? The call to handle_ignore_submodules_arg(), which would cause your new bit set, is made not as a reaction to any end-user input. Rather it is "if end-user did not say anything, use this hardcoded setting". And it overrides the "if the end user did not specify anything, we want to use this default" logic you added with this change, because it dictates "dirty" there without end-user asking.

Is that desirable?  I dunno.

I found this change a "noise":

 	strvec_pushl(&cp.args, "status", "--porcelain=2", NULL);
 	if (ignore_untracked)
-		strvec_push(&cp.args, "-uno");
+		strvec_push (&cp.args, "-uno");

If it were going the other direction, "we fix coding style violation while at it" may be a good justification to do so, but this particular change (1) is not neeeded for the purpose of this patch, and (2) is making the code worse by deviating from the coding guideline. Please drop it.

Thanks.

Oh okay. I thought you meant to ask something. But ya "think aloud" is a nice practice. Sorry for the confusion.

Umm, so when diff.ignoreSubmodules is set in user config, git_diff_ui_config() is called which is called(which calls handle_ignore_submodules_arg) even before repo_git_setup() and therefore it sets the bit there. But in the case of command-line options, as you mentioned, diff_opt_ignore_submodules() gets called by the prep_parse_options() which is called after we are checking for that bit. So when we are checking for the bit, prep_parse_options() is not yet called, and therefore that bit is not set.

Oh okay, that makes sense. Would update that in the next patch.

This change was added in this[1] commit and as said there the "dirty" was used because here[2] if no arguments are provided with ignoreSubmodules then it set it to all and it might be confusing for `git status` as then even when the user chooses to record a new commit for an ignored submodule by adding it manually this change won't show up under the to-be-committed changes.(as mentioned in [1])

[1] https://github.com/git/git/commit/1d2f393ac9bfb4c20f14d6ead7bb4c56e766ab77 [2] https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/diff.c#L5139

So I think that's desirable.

This part of the change was introduced because we had a failing test here[3]. There was some problem it getting both the flags propagated through the nested submodule and that's why this change. Maybe we can do something better to fix that. It would be great if you can have a look at it.

Are you talking about the new "else" clause added to the "if" statement we see above? I am not saying it is a "noise".

But look at what you did to the existing call to strvec_push() to add "-uno" shown above in the patch, i.e. the addition of space before the parenthesis. We cannot justify that change, can we? That's noise as far as I can see.

Oh okay. Now I understand. Ya, that doesn't make sense. I thought that Eric above suggested adding it but looking at it again, Eric was saying to drop the space in the else statement below and I misunderstood that to this. I am really very sorry about this. Would change it in the next patch.

[PATCH v4] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

From: sangu09 <sangunb09@gmail.com>

Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git diff` when there is no configuration variable or command line option, so that the command would not give '-dirty' suffix to a submodule whose working tree has untracked files, to make it consistent with `git describe --dirty` that is run in the submodule working tree.

What happened to the first/introductory paragraph that was excellently written in the previous round?

The usaul way to compose a log message is to

 - Give an observation on how the current system work in the present
   tense (so no need to say "Currently X is Y", just "X is Y"), and
   discuss what you perceive as a problem in it.

 - Propose a solution (optional---often, problem description
   trivially leads to an obvious solution in reader's minds).

 - Give commands to the codebase to "become like so".

The first paragraph you had in the previous round was a good example of the "observation". What we see above is only the "commands" part. To those who have been intimately following the discussion, it often is understandable without both, but we are not writing for those who review the patches. We are writing for future readers who are not aware of these exchanges we are having, so we should give something to prepare them by setting the stage and stating the objective.

I think I already touched about this one in the previous review.

Hmph, it seems that you chose to give options that are no longer the default to command invocations, so that the expected output from the previous world order before this patch can be reused, but is that a sensible way to go? If we are changing the default behaviour, shouldn't we rather be testing that new behaviour, I wonder?

OK.

By the way, in builtin/describe.c there is an invocation of "diff-index" without any --ignore-submodules=<what> option.

        /* diff-index command arguments to check if working tree is dirty. */
        static const char *diff_index_args[] = {
                "diff-index", "--quiet", "HEAD", "--", NULL
        };

Would the behaviour of diff-index invocation in "git describe --dirty" affected by the change of the default in any way?

Thanks.

Oh okay, it makes sense. I thought you told to replace that all with this. Would change it in the next patch.

I have tested the new behavior too. I have added tests for both the behavior, when ignore-submodules is none and when no argument is being passed.

I don't think so because describe was already behaving in the way that we won't. We changed the behavior of git diff to match it with that. So it doesn't make sense to add anything to that. Tell me if I am missing something.

Thanks for reviewing.

How does "describe" see if the working tree is dirty? What mechanism does it use? Doesn't it run the "diff-index" command internally?

And with this patch, aren't you changing the default behaviour of "diff" family of commands by touching repo_diff_setup() function? How does it not affect the behaviour of the "diff-index" command, hence the input "git describe" uses to formulate its output?

If any step concatenated by && in the above sequence fails, the test repository will have diff.ignoreSubmodules set to none (without getting it reset, since &&-chain prevents the last "config --unset" step from running). Unless the test is run under the --immediate option, that would affect the environment in which subsequent tests are run.

Instead, our test usually do this:

	test_expect_success 'test title' '
                test_config diff.ignoresubmodules none &&
                git diff HEAD >actual &&
                ...
                test_cmp expect.body actual.body
	'

"test_config" sets up a trigger, which will _always_ fire, whether the test fails at any intermediate steps or runs to the end and succeeds, to remove the configuration it just added. It is a short-hand for writing

	test_when_finished test_unconfig diff.ignoresubmodules &&
	git config diff.ignoresubmodules none

i.e. to use test_when_finished to set up the trigger.

Oh, okay! I would make these changes. Thanks for the explanation. There are also other places where `git config` is used in test scripts. Should I change that too? Or maybe as they are not relevant to this patch, we can create an issue or even a microproject for other first-timer contributors?

Ya, they can be left as it is but I removed the
--ignore-submodules=untracked because we also have to check the
default git behavior and adding that doesn't change anything in the
code so I removed that.
In general, in all the tests I followed this practice:
1. I added --ignore-submodules=none where there were no options
specified(as this was the earlier default)
2. I removed --ignore-submodules=untracked(as this should even work if
no options are specified)

I would put that back if you still want it?

OK, I re-read the changes to the tests in v5 (an excerpt at the end of this message), and I think this one makes sort-of sense.

We want to see that a plain-vanilla invocation of "git diff" without custom "--ignore-submodules" option would stop saying -dirty when untracked cruft is in the submodule's working tree, and this test, as it says in its title, is exactly testing that case (i.e. "how is a submodule without change relative to the gitlink in the superproject shown when there is untracked cruft there?"). It is a perfect opportunity to give the answer to the question and how that answer will be different from the current system if we took this patch. We used to expect to see that submodule has changed from the commit subprev to the same commit subprev with dirty indicator. What should we expect under the new world order? We should stop claiming that submodule has any change.

So I would have expected that would be shown by the first step in first "what happens without custom --ignore-submodules invocation?" test by changing the expect_from_to that corresponds to it, and then a *new* test added to show that with "--ignore-submodules=none" it is still possible to get "changed from the same commit to the same commit with the -dirty indicator" as a second test.

As long as all cases (i.e. all possible values to --ignore-submodules=<what>, plus the case where --ignore-submodules=<what> is not given at all) are covered, it is OK, but I think it is the best to show the case without an option, especially when the original does so.

Thanks.

Do I need to add the doc update in the same patch?

So we want that `git status` should behave in the same way as it was behaving before? Can we do this by passing --ignore-submodules=none as the default args for status? Another approach might be to figure out how the diff is being called(like is this being called from git status or git diff) and then add the --ignore-submodules=untracked behavior to it accordingly. Though I have no idea how to do that now.

Please correct me if I am completely going in the wrong direction. As it is my first time contributing to git, so any help would be greatly beneficial for me.

Thanks and regards, Sangeeta

It is ideal if code change, tests and documentation are done atomically. For a large series the story may be different, but I thought a single commit would be sufficient for this topic?

But you did not. The "motivation" and "execution" are both from long time ago, back when submodule support was invented and "git diff" in the superproject was taught to pay attention to submodules.

Dscho suspects that "git diff" were taught to add "-dirty" to submodules with untracked files in their working tree in order to protect them from those who are about to delete them as a way to check if it is safe. I agreed that the motivation may have been so, i.e. they wanted to protect users from losing untracked files that they forgot to add and commit in the submodule, but the execution was wrong, i.e. "git diff" is not the right tool to achieve that protection.

See that you didn't add any unwanted code---it all happened long time ago ;-)

Yes, I do not recall offhand where in wt-status.c "git status" does so, but there should be an internal invocation of diff-files somewhere, and I suspect it is not passing any --ignore-submodules bit. Just like wt_status_collect_changes_index() calls handle_ignore_submodules_arg() with hardcoded "dirty", we may have to unignore untracked files in submodule working trees when checking the working tree changes.

No, callee shouldn't have knowledge of its caller to perform a special case action. The caller should say how it wants its callees to behave.

Thanks.

Re: [Outreachy][PATCH v6] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

Hey,

I worked on passing --ignore-submodules=none as the default behavior of git status so that the user doesn't end up deleting a submodule that has uncommitted (untracked) files.

The following changes make git status pass the ignoreSubmodules none argument as default.

I have had to set the flag manually in diff.c because when we call
handle_ignore_submodules_arg() with "untracked" arg,
options->flags.ignore_submodule_set is set to 1 and therefore when we
check for it in wt-status.c it appears that user has already set some
config and therefore we shouldn't add "none" as ignoreSubmodules arg.

Another way to do that is to have one more flag in diff_options that
can let us know whether options->flags.ignore_submodule_set was set by
the user or by diff passing untracked as the default argument.

Can someone please help me with what might be the right way to proceed?

Thanks!

Hmph, neither sounds "right"---having to circumvent the assignment to _set flag made in the handle_ helper by either manually setting the underlying flag, or by introducing another flag that stops from the _set flag getting updated, sounds like working around a flaw of the approach to use _set flag and set it in the handle_ helper in the first place...

This will throw-away above change to "expected", I think this is not what you expected to write!

Nit:

I suspect that we're in favour of writing all optional argument before all committish here.

IOW, I think we're better move HEAD after --ignore-submodules=none

Another nit: I think we can avoid subshell by:
	
	echo "xxxx" >sub1/file_in_sub

In general, I think other usages of subshell in this patch could be replaced by above syntax for echo and "git -C subdir" for git.

I am sorry I couldn't understand what you mean by that. I think that is what I expected to write. I want those changes to be in "expected".

Looking at the above quoted part again...

	cat >expected <<-\EOF &&
		... content 1 ...
	EOF
        git ... >actual &&
	cat >expected <<-\EOF &&
		... content 2 ...
	EOF

I think Đoàn Trần Công Danh wants to say is that expected originally has content 1, and that is discarded because you overwrite the same file with content 2. So either

 - if content1 and content2 are identical, perhaps you do not have
   to write content2 into expected at all, or

 - if content1 and content2 are different, perhaps you forgot to
   consume content1 before overwriting it.

THe latter is quite plausible, as the original test without your addition must be consuming content1 after the part you added.

[Outreachy][PATCH v7] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

And also make `--ignore-submodules=none` the default for `git status` so that the user doesn't end up deleting a submodule that has uncommitted (untracked) files.

This rounds looks better to me. My only question now is: Should this change applicable to diff-index, diff-files and other plumbing commands?

As of it's now, we treat the absent of diff.ignoreSubmodules as "none" but we're changing to "untracked" with this change.

Will someone's scripts break by this change? I think it's unlikely, but who knows?

To contribute to the chaos, --ignore-submodules implies --ignore-submodules=all My first-quick-and-INCORRECT scan to the diff-options, I was puzzled by its default, and I thought (incorrectly, for a second) the absent of --ignore-submodules mean --ignore-submodules=all.

Re: [Outreachy][PATCH v7] diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

Hey Junio,

In the "What's cooking in git.git" you mentioned that this patch is left on doc update and some adjustments in "git status".

The above patch does adds the `ignore-submodule=none` as the default behavior for git status and also adds documentation too. Am I missing something?

Thanks and regards, Sangeeta
