Since 8cbeba0632 (tests: define GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
2019-02-25), it has been possible to run tests with a newer protocol
version by setting the GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION envvar to a version
number. Tests that assume protocol v0 handle this by explicitly
setting
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=
or similar constructs like 'test -z "$GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION" ||
return 0' to declare that they only handle the default (v0) protocol.
The emphasis there is a bit off: it would be clearer to specify
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 to inform the reader that these tests are
specifically testing and relying on details of protocol v0. Do so.
This way, a reader does not need to know what the default protocol
version is, and the tests can continue to work when the default
protocol version used by Git advances past v0.

This allows hosting providers to detect whether they are being used
to attack users using malicious 'update = !command' settings in
.gitmodules.
Since ac1fbbda2013 (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from
.gitmodules, 2013-12-02), in normal cases such settings have been
treated as 'update = none', so forbidding them should not produce any
collateral damage to legitimate uses. A quick search does not reveal
any repositories making use of this construct, either.

Since ac1fbbda2013 (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from
.gitmodules, 2013-12-02), Git has been careful to avoid copying
[submodule "foo"]
update = !run an arbitrary scary command
from .gitmodules to a repository's local config, copying in the
setting 'update = none' instead. The gitmodules(5) manpage documents
the intention:
The !command form is intentionally ignored here for security
reasons
Unfortunately, starting with v2.20.0-rc0 (which integrated ee69b2a9
(submodule--helper: introduce new update-module-mode helper,
2018-08-13, first released in v2.20.0-rc0)), there are scenarios where
we *don't* ignore it: if the config store contains no
submodule.foo.update setting, the submodule-config API falls back to
reading .gitmodules and the repository-supplied !command gets run
after all.
This was part of a general change over time in submodule support to
read more directly from .gitmodules, since unlike .git/config it
allows a project to change values between branches and over time
(while still allowing .git/config to override things). But it was
never intended to apply to this kind of dangerous configuration.
The behavior change was not advertised in ee69b2a9's commit message
and was missed in review.
Let's take the opportunity to make the protection more robust, even in
Git versions that are technically not affected: instead of quietly
converting 'update = !command' to 'update = none', noisily treat it as
an error. Allowing the setting but treating it as meaning something
else was just confusing; users are better served by seeing the error
sooner. Forbidding the construct makes the semantics simpler and
means we can check for it in fsck (in a separate patch).
As a result, the submodule-config API cannot read this value from
.gitmodules under any circumstance, and we can declare with confidence
For security reasons, the '!command' form is not accepted
here.

In many test scripts, there are bespoke definitions of the single quote
that are some variation of this:
SQ="'"
Define a common $SQ variable in test-lib.sh and replace all usages of
these bespoke variables with the common one.

`git grep =\\\\\'` and manually changing the resulting definitions and

test -e, test -s, etc. do not provide nice error messages when we hit
test failures, so use the test_* helper functions from
test-lib-functions.sh.
Also, add test_path_exists() to test-lib-function.sh while at it, so
that we don't need to worry whether submodule/.git is a file or a
directory. It currently is a file with contents of the form
gitdir: ../.git/modules/submodule
but it could be changed in the future to be a directory; this test
only really cares that it exists.

Regression tests are automated tests which try to ensure a specific
behavior. The idea is: if the test case fails, the behavior indicated in
the test case's title regressed.
If a regression test that fails, even occasionally, for any reason other
than to indicate the particular regression(s) it tries to catch, it is
less useful than when it really only fails when there is a bug in the
(non-test) code that needs to be fixed.
In the instance of the test case "submodule update --init --recursive
from subdirectory" of the script t7406-submodule-update.sh, the exact
output of a recursive clone is compared with a pre-generated one. And
this is a racy test because the structure of the submodules only
guarantees a *partial* order. The 'none' and the 'rebasing' submodules
*can* be cloned in any order, which means that a mismatch with the
hard-coded order does not necessarily indicate a bug in the tested code.
See for example:
https://git-for-windows.visualstudio.com/git/_build/results?buildId=14035&view=logs
To prevent such false positives from unnecessarily costing time when
investigating test failures, let's take the exact order of the lines out
of the equation by sorting them before comparing them.
This test script seems not to have any more test cases that try to
verify any specific order in which recursive clones process the
submodules, therefore this is the only test case that is changed in this
manner.

submodule.<name>.update can be assigned an arbitrary command via setting
it to "!command". When this command is found in the regular config, Git
ought to just run that command instead of other update mechanisms.
However if that command is just found in the .gitmodules file, it is
potentially untrusted, which is why we do not run it. Add a test
confirming the behavior.

The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my
bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly
translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have
been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without
running it.
I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at
all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars
Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in
this mode, so fix up the failing ones.
My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of
skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some
lurking regressions I haven't fixed.

There are three issues with the test:
* The syntax of the here-doc was wrong, such that the entire test was

* The variable $submodulesha1 was not expanded as it was inside a quoted
here text. We do not want to quote EOF marker for this.
* The redirection from the git command to the output file for comparison
was wrong as the -C operator from git doesn't apply to the redirect path.

The user can specify a custom update method that is run when
"submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This
was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and
we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the
path in the superproject's index.
* sb/submodule-update-initial-runs-custom-script:
submodule update: run custom update script for initial populating as well
|
|
In 1b4735d9f3 (submodule: no [--merge|--rebase] when newly cloned,
2011-02-17), all actions were defaulted to checkout for populating
a submodule initially, because merging or rebasing makes no sense
in that situation.
Other commands however do make sense, such as the custom command
that was added later (6cb5728c43, submodule update: allow custom
command to update submodule working tree, 2013-07-03).
I am unsure about the "none" command, as I can see an initial
checkout there as a useful thing. On the other hand going strictly
by our own documentation, we should do nothing in case of "none"
as well, because the user asked for it.

In the submodule helper we did not correctly handled the display path
for initializing submodules when both the submodule is inside a
subdirectory as well as the command being invoked from a subdirectory
(as viewed from the superproject).
This was broken in 3604242f080, which was written at a time where
there was no super-prefix available, so we abused the --prefix option
for the same purpose and could get only one case right (the call from
within a subdirectory, not the submodule being in a subdirectory).

On OSX `wc` prefixes the output of numbers with whitespace, such
that the `commit_count` would be "SP <NUMBER>". When using that in
git submodule update --init --depth=$commit_count
the depth would be empty and the number is interpreted as the
pathspec. Fix this by not using `wc` and rather instruct rev-list
to count.
Another way to fix this is to remove the `=` sign after the
`--depth` argument as then we are allowed to have more than just one
whitespace between `--depth` and the actual number. Prefer the
solution of rev-list counting as that is expected to be slightly
faster and more self-contained within Git.

Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a
commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules.
Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with
Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc):
while [ true ]; do
git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
git -C <superproject> push
done
for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.
Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.
The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of
this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not
expect such projects to exist.

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run
under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is
correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be
unmarked, since it is not seen by users.
Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test
under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by
their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for
translation, suppressing false positives.

This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the

and therefore unstable.
We want to init submodules from the helper for `submodule update`
in a later patch and the stdout output of said helper is consumed

So we have to be careful which messages are on stdout.

This patch is just a test and fixes no bug as there is currently no bug
in the path handling of `submodule update`.
In `submodule update` we make a call to `submodule--helper list --prefix
"$wt_prefix"` which looks a bit brittle and likely to introduce a bug
for the path handling. It is not a bug as the prefix is ignored inside
the submodule helper for now. If this test breaks eventually, we want
to make sure the `wt_prefix` is passed correctly into recursive submodules.
Hint: In recursive submodules we expect `wt_prefix` to be empty.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

shared by cmd_add and cmd_update. I also update the initial checkout
command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone.
With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via:
$ git submodule update ...
will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are
using the default checkout-mode updates. This is a change from the
previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic
(regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered
an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD.
This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial
clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode
updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or
not) in other modes.
The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work
inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for
updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work.
Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with
checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away
during updates. For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch
or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer
wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead
of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference.
By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from
black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the
developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs
for the developers that don't care.
Testing
=======
In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not
on a detached HEAD.
I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after
cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode:
* Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs
* Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured
submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master.
The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a
known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit
the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new
submodule commits to the upstream subprojects. This makes it
impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references
submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects. For a
specific example, see the tests that currently generate the
'two_new_submodule_commits' commits.
Documentation
=============
I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail.
The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and
non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead
to detached HEADs, and which would not. The new documentation
addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes
introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in
module_clone.
I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode
options into a single set.

Code clean-up.
* jl/submodule-update-retire-orig-flags:
submodule update: remove unnecessary orig_flags variable
|
|
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.
However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.
Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

cmd_update() in the submodule script tries to preserve the options given
on the command line in the "orig_flags" variable to pass them on into the
recursion when the '--recursive' option is given. But this isn't necessary
because all the variables set by the options will be seen in the recursion
too as that is achieved by executing "eval cmd_update".
The same has already been done for cmd_status() in e15bec0ec, so let's
clean up cmd_update() likewise. Also add a test to make sure that a
submodule name given on the command line is not passed into the recursion
(which was the goal of adding the orig_flags variable in 98dbe63db).
