[PATCH] Propagate --quiet on submodule update to merge/rebase

[PATCH] Propagate --quiet on submodule update to merge/rebase

[Theodore Dubois]

Without this, commands such as
git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules --quiet
might produce non-quiet output from the merge or rebase.

This is not the problem this patch introduces, but the way GIT_QUIET
variable is set up does not allow us to do the above so nicely, I
suspect.  Wouldn't the above change make "git submodule update -v"
invoke the underlying commands with "--quiet" option?


The problematic piece of code is this part:

        cmd_update()
        {
                # parse $args after "submodule ... update".
                while test $# -ne 0
                do
                        case "$1" in
                        -q|--quiet)
                                GIT_QUIET=1
                                ;;
                        -v)
                                GIT_QUIET=0
                                ;;
                        --progress)
                                progress=1
                                ;;


I think this is the only place in the script that GIT_QUIET is set
to 0, but all the places that refer to the variable do not even
check the value held in it.  Makes me wonder if it was used
differently back when e84c3cf3dc3 was written.

    ... goes and looks at the offending commit ...

I think the right fix could have been "unset GIT_QUIET" instead of
assigning 0 that means the same thing as GIT_QUIET=1

In any case, the posted patch is a good first step but it makes the
existing problem worse.  Let's fix GIT_QUIET=0 at the same time.

Thanks.

IOW, I suspect that this test will still pass with s/--quiet/-v/ .

Interesting. I didn't check every setting of GIT_QUIET, just looked at the first few and assumed the rest would be the same. The "git submodule--helper update-clone" invocation also has this problem. I'll resend with "unset GIT_QUIET".

It seems set_branch also is written with a strange sense of humor.
It pays attention to GIT_QUIET but never sets it itself.

Thanks.
