fsmonitor--daemon: allow --super-prefix argument
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Create a test in t7527 to verify that we get a stray warning from
`git fsmonitor--daemon start` when indirectly called from
`git submodule absorbgitdirs`.

Update `git fsmonitor--daemon` to take (and ignore) the `--super-prefix`
argument to suppress the warning.

When we have:

1. a submodule with a `sub/.git/` directory (rather than a `sub/.git`
file).

2. `core.fsmonitor` is turned on in the submodule, but the daemon is
not yet started in the submodule.

3. and someone does a `git submodule absorbgitdirs` in the super.

Git will recursively invoke `git submodule--helper absorb-git-dirs`
in the submodule.  This will read the index and may attempt to start
the fsmonitor--daemon with the `--super-prefix` argument.

`git fsmonitor--daemon start` does not accept the `--super-prefix`
argument and causes a warning to be issued.

This does not cause a problem because the `refresh_index()` code
assumes a trivial response if the daemon does not start.

The net-net is a harmelss, but stray warning.  Lets eliminate the
warning.

# If a submodule has a `sub/.git/` directory (rather than a file
# pointing to the super's `.git/modules/sub`) and `core.fsmonitor`
# turned on in the submodule and the daemon is not yet started in
# the submodule, and someone does a `git submodule absorbgitdirs`
# in the super, Git will recursively invoke `git submodule--helper`
# to do the work and this may try to read the index. This will
# try to start the daemon in the submodule *and* pass (either
# directly or via inheritance) the `--super-prefix` arg to the
# `git fsmonitor--daemon start` command inside the submodule.
# This causes a warning because fsmonitor--daemon does take that
# global arg (see the table in git.c)
#
# This causes a warning when trying to start the daemon that is
# somewhat confusing. It does not seem to hurt anything because
# the fsmonitor code maps the query failure into a trivial response
# and does the work anyway.
#
# It would be nice to silence the warning, however.
