Subject: [GSoC][PATCH 10/13] submodule foreach: document '$sm_path' instead of '$path'
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2017 02:04:51 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170724203454.13947-11-pc44800@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170724203454.13947-1-pc44800@gmail.com>
As using a variable '$path' may be harmful to users due to
capitalization issues, see 64394e3ae9 (git-submodule.sh: Don't
use $path variable in eval_gettext string, 2012-04-17). Adjust
the documentation to advocate for using $sm_path, which contains
the same value. We still make the 'path' variable available and
document it as a deprecated synonym of 'sm_path'.

+ The command has access to the variables $name, $sm_path, $sha1 and

$name is the name of the relevant submodule section in `.gitmodules`,
- $path is the name of the submodule directory relative to the
- superproject, $sha1 is the commit as recorded in the superproject,
- and $toplevel is the absolute path to the top-level of the superproject.

+ $sha1 is the commit as recorded in the superproject, and
+ $toplevel is the absolute path to the top-level of the superproject.
+ Note that to avoid conflicts with '$PATH' on Windows, the '$path'
+ variable is now a deprecated synonym of '$sm_path' variable.
Any submodules defined in the superproject but not checked out are
ignored by this command. Unless given `--quiet`, foreach prints the name
of each submodule before evaluating the command.
