regression in output of git-pull --rebase --recurse-submodules=yes --quiet

[Robin H. Johnson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1155 bytes --]

Somewhere between 2.13.6 & 2.14.1 there's an output regression. I
haven't done a bisect to trace it down further yet.

Specifically, --rebase --recurse-submodules=yes seems to cause --quiet
to not be effective anymore.

Full commandline:
$ git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules --quiet

In 2.13.6, there is no output, it's quiet as expect.

In 2.14.1, you get:
HEAD is up to date.
Submodule path '_data/news': rebased into 'a50b763c338161b4621d23e9fa5cd6e11455d6ca'
HEAD is up to date.
Submodule path 'glep': rebased into 'e1f100ec3ba44ab1672d61cabf4690b355e46158'

Steps to reproduction:
1. git clone --recurse-submodules \
 https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/sites/www.git
2. cd www
3. git submodule foreach --quiet git pull --quiet origin master
4. git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules=yes --quiet

Repeat step 4 for repeated bug output.
If you drop the --rebase, then you need to re-run step 3 first.

[PATCH] builtin/pull: respect verbosity settings in submodules

[Stefan Beller]

In a6d7eb2c7a (pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule
changes only), 2017-06-23), we taught Git how to rebase submodules in
a pull. However we missed to pass on the verbosity settings.

regression AGAIN in output of git-pull --rebase --recurse-submodules=yes --quiet

[Robin H. Johnson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2334 bytes --]

A year ago, I raised <robbat2-20190410T062730-540884809Z@orbis-terrarum.net> as an issue,
which lead to commit commit a56771a668dd4963675914bc5da0e1e015952dae.

The exact same workload somewhere between 2.18.0 and 2.19.0 has caused
the message to come back. I noticed it first in a 2.18.0->2.21.0
upgrade, and did a partial bisect based on tags to trace it to 2.19.0.

===
$ git submodule foreach --quiet git pull origin master --quiet >/dev/null
From git://anongit.gentoo.org/data/gentoo-news
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
From git://anongit.gentoo.org/data/glep
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
===

I suspect it was a result of:
ea27893a65cc41cad2710466aa6a58866ff22f1e Merge branch 'pc/submodule-helper-foreach'

But I haven't done a full bisect to prove it yet.

If you run this with GIT_TRACE=1, you can see that --quiet is passed
to submodule--helper correctly.

trace: built-in: git submodule--helper foreach --quiet git pull --quiet origin master

The problem here is the option parser of this command would try to
parse all options, so it considers both --quiet the same thing and are
to tell "submodule--foreach" to be quiet, the second --quiet is not
part of the "git pull" command anymore.

So the fix would be to pass "--" to stop option parsing.
submodule--helper should not parse options it does not understand
anyway. Something like this should work.

I'm a bit reluctant to follow up with a proper patch because I can't
digest the t5572-submodule-pull.sh tests. And we definitely need to
add a test case about --quiet to make sure it won't happen again.

Clever. I was stuck thinking about actually pulling things. But yeah
"echo --quiet" does the job just as well. Making patches (and maybe
trying to fix that pull --rebase --quiet thing as well)

Please note that `git rebase --preserve-merges` will be deprecated as of
the next Git version (see https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/158 for
details).

So I don't think it is worth the bother to fix that mode with respect to
--quiet.

I don't think I change any visible behavior though (or at least trying
not to). There are two command line parsers, the "front" one is in
git-submodule.sh and should do what you describe (or whatever the
current behavior is) and there's an internal one for "git
submodule--helper" which is more like internal API than anything.

The change here is to stop the internal parser from accidentally
interpret options that belong to the foreach's command. The "--" and
first non-recognized argument should be handled correctly by the front
parser.

The exact behavior of this front parser, I can't tell (I'm nowhere
near expert level of submodules) but yeah it should stop at either
`--` or the first non-option argument (e.g. something that does not
start with '-'). An argument that looks like an option (i.e. starts
with '-') but not recognized should result in an error. This is pretty
much standard behavior for all other commands, but I have not tested
this with git-submodule.sh.

[PATCH] submodule foreach: fix "<command> --quiet" not being respected

[Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy]

Robin reported that

    git submodule foreach --quiet git pull --quiet origin

is not really quiet anymore [1]. "git pull" behaves as if --quiet is not
given.

This happens because parseopt in submodule--helper will try to parse
both --quiet options as if they are foreach's options, not git-pull's.
The parsed options are removed from the command line. So when we do
pull later, we execute just this

    git pull origin

When calling submodule helper, adding "--" in front of "git pull" will
stop parseopt for parsing options that do not really belong to
submodule--helper foreach.

PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN is removed as a safety measure. parseopt should
never see unknown options or something has gone wrong. There are also
a couple usage string update while I'm looking at them.

While at it, I also add "--" to other subcommands that pass "$@" to
submodule--helper. "$@" in these cases are paths and less likely to be
--something-like-this. But the point still stands, git-submodule has
parsed and classified what are options, what are paths. submodule--helper
should never consider paths passed by git-submodule to be options even
if they look like one.

The test case is also contributed by Robin.

[1] it should be quiet before fc1b9243cd (submodule: port submodule
    subcommand 'foreach' from shell to C, 2018-05-10) because parseopt
    can't accidentally eat options then.

 I'm not trying to fix "git pull --rebase --quiet" (or "git rebase
 --quiet" in general) in the end, since that looks like a whole other
 can of worms.
 
 Not only git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh needs to respect --quiet (but
 which case? I don't have enough experience to say) but sequencer.c
 may need to be scanned too.
