Subject: [PATCH] submodule.c: report the submodule that an error occurs in
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 15:32:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180620223253.226092-1-sbeller@google.com> (raw)

When an error occurs in updating the working tree of a submodule in
submodule_move_head, tell the user which submodule the error occurred in.

The call to read-tree contains a super-prefix, such that the read-tree
will correctly report any path related issues, but some error messages
do not contain a path, for example:

  ~/gerrit$ git checkout --recurse-submodules origin/master
  ~/gerrit$ fatal: failed to unpack tree object 07672f31880ba80300b38492df9d0acfcd6ee00a

Give the hint which submodule has a problem.
