During a merge module_list returns conflicting submodules several times (stage 1,2,3) which caused the submodules to be used multiple times in git submodule init, sync, update and status command. There are 5 callers of module_list; they all read (mode, sha1, stage, path) tuple, and most of them care only about path. As a first level approximation, it should be Ok (in the sense that it does not make things worse than it currently is) to filter the duplicate paths from module_list output, but some callers should change their behaviour when the merge in the superproject still has conflicts. Notice the higher-stage entries, and emit only one record from module_list, but while doing so, mark the entry with "U" (not [0-3]) in the $stage field and null out the SHA-1 part, as the object name for the lowest stage does not give any useful information to the caller, and this way any caller that uses the object name would hopefully barf. Then update the codepaths for each subcommands this way: - "update" should not touch the submodule repository, because we do not know what commit should be checked out yet. - "status" reports the conflicting submodules as 'U000...000' and does not recurse into them (we might later want to make it recurse). - The command called by "foreach" may want to do whatever it wants to do by noticing the merged status in the superproject itself, so feed the path to it from module_list as before, but only once per submodule. - "init" and "sync" are unlikely things to do while the superproject is still not merged, but as long as a submodule is there in $path, there is no point skipping it. It might however want to take the merged status of .gitmodules into account, but that is outside of the scope of this topic.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
