Subject: [PATCH v2 19/20] submodule-config: move doc to submodule-config.h
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 09:59:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7fa5cdf83ff7bc4811e30d0a0e038a27154a8809.1573034387.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.434.v2.git.1573034387.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-submodule-config.txt
to submodule-config.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage
information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.

Documentation/technical/api-submodule-config.txt is removed because the
information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to
date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file.

The documentation of parse_submodule_config_option() is discarded as the
function was removed 2 years ago.

-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 .gitmodules files. Lookups can be done by
-submodule path or name.
-
-Usage
------
-
-To initialize the cache with configurations from the worktree the caller
-typically first calls `gitmodules_config()` to read values from the
-worktree .gitmodules and then to overlay the local git config values
-`parse_submodule_config_option()` from the config parsing
-infrastructure.
-
-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
-caller does only want to lookup values from revisions the initialization
-can be skipped.
-
-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(struct repository *r)`::
-
-	Use these to free the internally cached values.
-
-`int parse_submodule_config_option(const char *var, const char *value)`::
-
-	Can be passed to the config parsing infrastructure to parse
-	local (worktree) submodule configurations.
-
-`const struct submodule *submodule_from_path(const unsigned char *treeish_name, const char *path)`::
-
-	Given a tree-ish in the superproject and a path, return the
-	submodule that is bound at the path in the named tree.
-
-`const struct submodule *submodule_from_name(const unsigned char *treeish_name, const char *name)`::
-
-	The same as above but lookup by name.
-
-Whenever a submodule configuration is parsed in `parse_submodule_config_option`
-via e.g. `gitmodules_config()`, it will overwrite the null_sha1 entry.
-So in the normal case, when HEAD:.gitmodules is parsed first and then overlayed
-with the repository configuration, the null_sha1 entry contains the local
-configuration of a submodule (e.g. consolidated values from local git
-configuration and the .gitmodules file in the worktree).
-
-For an example usage see test-submodule-config.c.
