Teach `submodule init` to initialize submodules which have been

Now if no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is configured,
`init` will initialize all submodules which have been configured to be
active. If no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is not
configured, then `init` will retain the old behavior of initializing all
submodules.

When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url'
is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules
file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed
relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined
accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'.
The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking
for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path.
This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved,
which is not obvious to the user.
So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the
user to lessen the confusion.
This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative
repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the
code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f08 (submodule:
port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15).
In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1],
however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious
use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so
warn instead of die here.
While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in
the documentation.

The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

When `--recursive` and `--reference` is given, it is reasonable to
expect that the submodules are created with references to the submodules
of the given alternate for the superproject.
An initial attempt to do this was presented to the mailing list, which
used flags that are passed around ("--super-reference") that instructed
the submodule clone to look for a reference in the submodules of the
referenced superproject. This is not well thought out, as any further
`submodule update` should also respect the initial setup.
When a new submodule is added to the superproject and the alternate
of the superproject does not know about that submodule yet, we rather
error out informing the user instead of being unclear if we did or did
not use a submodules alternate.

When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again. The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.
When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.
Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.

Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a

while [ true ]; do
git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
git -C <superproject> push
done
for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.
Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.

'git submodule--helper update-clone' has logic to retry failed clones
a second time. For this purpose, there is a list of submodules to clone,

were just appended.
This works nicely except when the second clone attempt fails as well. To
report an error, the identifying index must be adjusted by an offset so
that it can be used as an index into the second list. However, the
calculation uses the logical total length of the lists so that the result

The point of having a whitelist of command-line config
options to pass to submodules was two-fold:
1. It prevented obvious nonsense like using core.worktree
for multiple repos.
2. It could prevent surprise when the user did not mean
for the options to leak to the submodules (e.g.,
http.sslverify=false).
For case 1, the answer is mostly "if it hurts, don't do
that". For case 2, we can note that any such example has a
matching inverted surprise (e.g., a user who meant
http.sslverify=true to apply everywhere, but it didn't).
So this whitelist is probably not giving us any benefit, and
is already creating a hassle as people propose things to put
on it. Let's just drop it entirely.
Note that we still need to keep a special code path for
"prepare the submodule environment", because we still have
to take care to pass through $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (and
block the rest of the repo-specific environment variables).
We can do this easily from within the submodule shell
script, which lets us drop the submodule--helper option
entirely (and it's OK to do so because as a "--" program, it
is entirely a private implementation detail).

By having the `submodule init` functionality in C, we can reference it
easier from other parts in the code in later patches. The code is split
up to have one function to initialize one submodule and a calling function
that takes care of the rest, such as argument handling and translating the
arguments to the paths of the submodules.
This is the first submodule subcommand that is fully converted to C
except for the usage string, so this is actually removing a call to
the `submodule--helper list` function, which is supposed to be used in
this transition. Instead we'll make a direct call to `module_list_compute`.
An explanation why we need to edit the prefixes in cmd_update in
git-submodule.sh in this patch:
By having no processing in the shell part, we need to convey the notion
of wt_prefix and prefix to the C parts, which former patches punted on
and did the processing of displaying path in the shell.
`wt_prefix` used to hold the path from the repository root to the current
directory, e.g. wt_prefix would be t/ if the user invoked the
`git submodule` command in ~/repo/t and ~repo is the GIT_DIR.
`prefix` used to hold the relative path from the repository root to the
operation, e.g. if you have recursive submodules, the shell script would
modify the `prefix` in each recursive step by adding the submodule path.
We will pass `wt_prefix` into the C helper via `git -C <dir>` as that
will setup git in the directory the user actually called git-submodule.sh
from. The `prefix` will be passed in via the `--prefix` option.
Having `prefix` and `wt_prefix` relative to the GIT_DIR of the
calling superproject is unfortunate with this patch as the C code doesn't
know about a possible recursion from a superproject via `submodule update
--init --recursive`.
To fix this, we change the meaning of `wt_prefix` to point to the current
project instead of the superproject and `prefix` to include any relative
paths issues in the superproject. That way `prefix` will become the leading
part for displaying paths and `wt_prefix` will be empty in recursive
calls for now.
The new notion of `wt_prefix` and `prefix` still allows us to reconstruct
the calling directory in the superproject by just traveling reverse of
`prefix`.

from one directory to another, this may fail in `relative_path`.
Make sure both arguments to `relative_path` are always absolute.

We make sure that the parent directory of path exists (or create it
otherwise) and then do the same for path + "/.git".
That is equivalent to just making sure that the parent directory of
path + "/.git" exists (or create it otherwise).

Don't dereference NULL 'path' if it was never assigned. Also
protect against an empty --path argument.

This regression was introduced in 74703a1e4d (submodule: rewrite
`module_list` shell function in C, 2015-09-02), as we changed the
order of checking in new module listing to first check whether it is
a gitlin before feeding it to match_pathspec(). It used to be that
a pathspec that does not match any path were diagnosed as an error,
but the new code complains for a pathspec that does not match any
submodule path.
Arguably the new behaviour may give us a better diagnosis, but that
is inconsistent with the suggestion "deinit" gives, and also this
was an unintended accident. The new behaviour hopefully can be
redesigned and implemented better in future releases, but for now,
switch these two checks to restore the same behavior as before. In
an empty repository, giving the pathspec '.' will still get the same
"did not match" error, but that is the same bug we had before 1.7.0.
