After giving it a second thought, I believe I should take back my word
about the git-submodule status changing. There still seems to be some
work left for it. To be clear,
- there's 'add', whose conversion is currently stalled [1]
- there's 'update', which still has a decent amount of code [2]
in the shell script.
- we still have to complete the conversion completely converting
moving the rest of the bits from `git-submodule.sh` to C which is
mostly just the option parsing. This might be more trickier than
it sounds as we would've to ensure the we don't accidentally
change behaviour of the options when moving the option parsing to C.
There's also an e-mail from Junio which is relevant [3]
I'm not sure if this would be enough for a complete project on it's own.
I'm also not sure whether 'add' would get converted in the meantime. In
any case, I believe we could add a few other small refactoring projects
to make up for the rest of the period. For instance,
- Replace more instances of `the_index` and `the_repository`
(https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/379)
- Turn the `fetch_if_missing` global into a field of `struct repository`
(https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/251)
- Possibly others from #leftoverbits
Thoughts?
