| | submodule config cache API
==========================
The submodule config cache API allows to read submodule
configurations/information from specified revisions. Internally
information is lazily read into a cache that is used to avoid
unnecessary parsing of the same .gitmodule files. Lookups can be done by
submodule path or name.
Usage
-----
The caller can look up information about submodules by using the
`submodule_from_path()` or `submodule_from_name()` functions. They return
a `struct submodule` which contains the values. The API automatically
initializes and allocates the needed infrastructure on-demand.
If the internal cache might grow too big or when the caller is done with
the API, all internally cached values can be freed with submodule_free().
Data Structures
---------------
`struct submodule`::
This structure is used to return the information about one
submodule for a certain revision. It is returned by the lookup
functions.
Functions
---------
`void submodule_free()`::
Use these to free the internally cached values.
`const struct submodule *submodule_from_path(const unsigned char *commit_sha1, const char *path)`::
Lookup values for one submodule by its commit_sha1 and path or
name.
`const struct submodule *submodule_from_name(const unsigned char *commit_sha1, const char *name)`::
The same as above but lookup by name.
For an example usage see test-submodule-config.c.
