git-submodule: wrap branch option with "<>" in usage strings.

2012-10-25T08:46:13Z

Use "-b " instead of "-b branch". This brings the usage strings in line with other options, e.g. "--reference ". Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King Signed-off-by: Jeff King

submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args

2012-09-25T18:31:48Z

"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a unspecified action word for 'status' action. This is a UI mistake that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that name, e.g. $ git submodule show error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its value is questionable. Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than promoting laziness and confusion.

Make 'git submodule update --force' always check out submodules.

2012-08-24T16:00:43Z

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset to HEAD.

document submdule.$name.update=none option for gitmodules

2012-05-11T15:39:33Z

This option was not yet described in the gitmodules documentation. We only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but gitmodules is the more natural place to look. A short reference in the 'git submodule' documentation should be sufficient since the details can now be found in the documentation to gitmodules.

docs: describe behavior of relative submodule URLs

2012-01-03T20:47:58Z

Since the relative submodule URLs have been introduced in f31a522a2d, they do not conform to the rules for resolving relative URIs but rather to those of relative directories. Document that behavior. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule by default

2011-08-11T19:27:30Z

This is useful to mark a submodule as unneeded by default. When this option is set and the user wants to work with such a submodule he needs to configure 'submodule..update=checkout' or pass the --checkout option. Then the submodule can be handled like a normal submodule. Signed-off-by: Heiko Voigt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
