Hi all,
First, many thanks for all your work on git. It has been an
invaluable tool.
I believe I've found a bug. Submodules break when I use ``git mv``
to rename a directory, which contains a submodule as one of its
_sub_directories.
Here's the script I've been using to reproduce:
#!/bin/bash
# Settings
REPO_TO_CLONE="$HOME/www/wfpl.git"
# run in new directory
export REPODIR="git-bug-$(date '+%s')"
mkdir "$REPODIR" || exit $?
cd "$REPODIR" || exit $?
git --version
# make a git repo with a submodule
git init || exit $?
mkdir old || exit $?
git submodule add ~/www/wfpl.git old/wfpl || exit $?
# run the command that borks the submodule
git mv old new || exit $?
# demonstrate that it's borked:
git status || exit $?
# for me this command produces:
# fatal: Could not chdir to '../../../../old/wfpl': No such file or
directory
# fatal: 'git status --porcelain' failed in submodule new/wfpl
I run that and get this:
git version 2.3.1.431.g836cf63
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/jasonwoof/git-bug/git-bug-1425397321/.git/
Cloning into 'old/wfpl'...
done.
fatal: Could not chdir to '../../../../old/wfpl': No such file or
directory
fatal: 'git status --porcelain' failed in submodule new/wfpl
zsh: exit 128 ./script.sh
I got this same error (every time) with git-2.1.4-2.1 from debian
unstable, and from github's master (7f4ba4b6e3ba7), and from
github's pu branch (836cf6345)
All of the above running on debian unstable.
You'll need to change REPO_TO_CLONE of course.
It's probably worth noting that if I use ``git mv`` on the
submodule directly, it works fine. eg if I replace the ``git mv``
line in the above script with:
mkdir new
git mv old/wfpl new/wfpl
then it works fine (no error messages).
I am not subscribed to this list, so please remember to reply-all
if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks you!
