# Program that manages the subdirectories of a git checkout of a package
# that come from other packages (called "dependency packages").
#
# This program is similar in spirit to 'git submodule', with three
# essential differences:
#
#   1) Its options are easy to remember, and do not require knowledge of
#      'git submodule'.
#
#   2) The developer may choose to work on a different checkout for each
#      dependency package.  This is important when the developer is
#      preparing simultaneous changes to the package and the dependency
#      package, or is using the dependency package in several packages.
#
#      The developer indicates this different checkout by setting the
#      environment variable <SUBDIR>_SRCDIR (e.g. GNULIB_SRCDIR) to point to it.
#
#   3) The package maintainer may choose to use or not use git submodules.
#
#      The advantages of management through a git submodule are:
#        - Changes to the dependency package cannot suddenly break your package.
#          In other words, when there is an incompatible change that will cause
#          a breakage, you can fix things at your pace; you are not forced to
#          cope with such breakages in an emergency.
#        - When you need to make a change as a response to a change in the
#          dependency package, your co-developers cannot accidentally mix things
#          up (for example, use a combination of your newest change with an
#          older version of the dependency package).
#
#      The advantages of management without a git submodule (just as a plain
#      subdirectory, let's call it a "subcheckout") are:
#        - The simplicity: you are conceptually always using the newest revision
#          of the dependency package.
#        - You don't have to remember to periodially upgrade the dependency.
#          Upgrading the dependency is an implicit operation.

# This program is meant to be copied to the top-level directory of the package,
# together with a configuration file.  The configuration is supposed to be
# named '.gitmodules' and to define:
# * The git submodules, as described in "man 5 gitmodules" or
#   <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmodules>.  For example:
#
#       [submodule "gnulib"]
#               url = git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
#               path = gnulib
#
#   You don't add this piece of configuration to .gitmodules manually.  Instead,
#   you would invoke
#     $ git submodule add --name "gnulib" -- git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
#
# * The subdirectories that are not git submodules, in a similar syntax.  For
#   example:
#
#       [subcheckout "gnulib"]
#               url = git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
#               path = gnulib
#
# Here the URL is the one used for anonymous checkouts of the dependency
# package. If the developer needs a checkout with write access, they can
# either set the GNULIB_SRCDIR environment variable to point to that checkout
# or modify the gnulib/.git/config file to enter a different URL.

Usage: gitsub.sh pull [SUBDIR]
       gitsub.sh upgrade [SUBDIR]
       gitsub.sh checkout SUBDIR REVISION

Operations:

gitsub.sh pull [GIT_OPTIONS] [SUBDIR]
        You should perform this operation after 'git clone ...' and after
        every 'git pull'.
        It brings your checkout in sync with what the other developers of
        your package have committed and pushed.
        If an environment variable <SUBDIR>_SRCDIR is set, with a non-empty
        value, nothing is done for this SUBDIR.
        Supported GIT_OPTIONS (for expert git users) are:
          --reference <repository>
          --depth <depth>
          --recursive
        If no SUBDIR is specified, the operation applies to all dependencies.

gitsub.sh upgrade [SUBDIR]
        You should perform this operation periodically, to ensure currency
        of the dependency package revisions that you use.
        This operation pulls and checks out the changes that the developers
        of the dependency package have committed and pushed.
        If an environment variable <SUBDIR>_SRCDIR is set, with a non-empty
        value, nothing is done for this SUBDIR.
        If no SUBDIR is specified, the operation applies to all dependencies.

gitsub.sh checkout SUBDIR REVISION
        Checks out a specific revision for a dependency package.
        If an environment variable <SUBDIR>_SRCDIR is set, with a non-empty
        value, this operation fails.

This script requires the git program in the PATH and an internet connection.
