Description
Under Submodules in the left sidebar, what is currently displayed for each submodule is its path (in the current super-repo) and (when applicable) an indicator-icon for modified/dirty.
I'd like to know some more (rather basic) info about each Submodule, which could be displayed in a tooltip (preferably a "fancy" multi-line one, like for Tag) :
- First off, I wonder if the 2 regular-expressions for
git submodule status
are possibly missing one case, where the 'prefix' character is not a<space>
,-
or+
but instead aU
(if the submodule has merge conflicts)? - Besides the existing modified/dirty indicator, said prefixes could be used to indicate (at least in tooltip) a more detailed submodule status:
- (
-
) "not initialized" - (
+
) "SHA changed" (against index in super-repo) - (
U
) "merge conflict"
- (
- The URL of the Submodule repo (
git config get submodule.<name>.url
) - The (abbreviated) target SHA revision recorded in the super-repo (
git submodule status --cached
) - If different (i.e prefix
+
), the (abbreviated) SHA of the currently checked out submodule commit (git submodule status
) - The author and timestamp of the current submodule commit
- The commit-message of the current submodule commit
BTW, the icon-button Update Submodule
should actually be called a plural Update Submodule(s)
or Update Submodules
(like the title of its corresponding dialog) since it sits in the list header and defaults to All submodules
. Also, the context menu for each Submodule could contain an additional shortcut Update Submodule
, to open the same dialog but with All submodules
unchecked and the context-clicked submodule pre-selected in the Submodule:
ComboBox.
