From 2e5d6503bdc92260eae9c58b9fd1add7014bb853 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Keller Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 10:12:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ls-files: fix recurse-submodules with nested submodules Since commit e77aa336f116 ("ls-files: optionally recurse into submodules", 2016-10-07) ls-files has known how to recurse into submodules when displaying files. Unfortunately this fails for certain cases, including when nesting more than one submodule, called from within a submodule that itself has submodules, or when the GIT_DIR environemnt variable is set. Prior to commit b58a68c1c187 ("setup: allow for prefix to be passed to git commands", 2017-03-17) this resulted in an error indicating that --prefix and --super-prefix were incompatible. After this commit, instead, the process loops forever with a GIT_DIR set to the parent and continuously reads the parent submodule files and recursing forever. Fix this by preparing the environment properly for submodules when setting up the child process. This is similar to how other commands such as grep behave. This was not caught by the original tests because the scenario is avoided if the submodules are created separately and not stored as the standard method of putting the submodule git directory under .git/modules/. We can update the test to show the failure by the addition of "git submodule absorbgitdirs" to the test case. However, note that this new test would run forever without the necessary fix in this patch.
