There's a longer defense in patch 2, but that's the speedy summary. I'm not wild about the implementation of this solution as it calls out to 'git rev-parse' and 'git ls-files' - not once, but twice! - and I understand that is considerably slower on some platforms than others. But I'm open to suggestions - I couldn't find any other examples of a repo figuring out whether it's a submodule or not. (I thought there may be some, as 'repository.submodule_prefix' exists, but it seems like that's only set in some special cases during operations initated from the superproject.) I'm hoping to work on some other submodule-centric stuff over the coming months, and it might end up being very useful to be able to tell "am I a submodule?" and "how do I talk to my superproject?" more generally - so I'm really open to figuring out a better way than this, if folks have ideas. Patch 1 is a small refactor that we can take or leave - I found "SCOPE_SUBMODULE" to be pretty ambiguous, especially since it seems to refer to configs from .gitmodules. Even though I decided that "superproject" was a better name than "submodule" I still wasn't super happy with the ambiguity. But we can drop it if folks don't want to rename. Thanks a bunch, - Emily Emily Shaffer (2): config: rename "submodule" scope to "gitmodules" config: add 'config.superproject' file Documentation/git-config.txt | 21 +++++- builtin/config.c | 10 ++- config.c | 30 +++++++- config.h | 5 +- submodule-config.c | 2 +- submodule.c | 29 ++++++++ submodule.h | 6 ++ t/t1311-superproject-config.sh | 124 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 220 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100755 t/t1311-superproject-config.sh -- 2.31.1.295.g9ea45b61b8-goog
