[PATCH v2] all: new command used for multi-repo operations

[PATCH v2] all: new command used for multi-repo operations

[Lars Hjemli]

When working with multiple, unrelated (or loosly related) git repos,
there is often a need to locate all repos with uncommitted work and
perform some action on them (say, commit and push). Before this patch,
such tasks would require manually visiting all repositories, running
`git status` within each one and then decide what to do next.

This mundane task can now be automated by e.g. `git all --dirty status`,
which will find all git repositories below the current directory (even
nested ones), check if they are dirty (as defined by `git diff --quiet &&
git diff --cached --quiet`), and for each dirty repo print the path to the
repo and then execute `git status` within the repo.

The command also honours the option '--clean' which restricts the set of
repos to those which '--dirty' would skip.

Finally, the command to execute within each repo is optional. If none is
given, git-all will just print the path to each repo found.

Changes since v1:
* uses setenv() instead of chdir(), which fixes .gitfile handling
* uses DTYPE() and stat(), which fixes NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT platforms
* uses OPT_SET_INT() instead of OPT_BOOLEAN
* support for --all (complements --clean/--dirty)
* removed from command-list.txt
* added to .gitignore

I've not yet renamed the command. If it should be changed to 'git
for-each-repo', I'm tempted to make a patch which transforms
`git -ad status` into `git for-each-repo -d status`.

+==========

+NAME
+----
+git-all - Execute a git command in multiple repositories
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git all' [--all|--clean|--dirty] [command]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The git-all command is used to locate all git repositoris within the
+current directory tree, and optionally execute a git command in each
+of the found repos.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-a::
+--all::
+	Include both clean and dirty repositories (this is the default
+	behaviour of `git-all`).
+
+-c::
+--clean::
+	Only include repositories with a clean worktree.
+
+-d::
+--dirty::
+	Only include repositories with a dirty worktree.
+
+NOTES
+-----
+
+For the purpose of `git-all`, a dirty worktree is defined as a worktree
+with uncommitted changes.
+
+GIT

I agree with Junio "git-all" is too generic. Maybe "git-for-each-repo"

Perhaps we could add the subrepo's object data to the in-memory object
database of git-all, then do the diff without launching new commands?

I'm not a user of this command so this is more of bikeshedding. I
think we should have an option to list repos listed in index. For
directory walk, how about reusing fill_directory() to do the job for
you? You could then limit repositories by name. "ls-files -o" code
should be very similar.

The `git all` command is regularly invoked outside of git repos, so
I'm not sure if this would work.

git-submodule uses something like `git ls-files --stage|grep
"^160000"`. Having a better way to achieve this would be nice, but I
don't think it is a job for 'git [all|for-each-repo|ls-repo].

A cursory look into dir.c seems to indicate that this could work
(possibly except for get_index_dtype()), but it would also load the
complete directory tree (which could be extremly big) into ram,
including file entries (which is not necessary) while dropping '.git'
entries (which is what we're looking for).

We could initialize an empty object database in memory. But my
suggestion is probably off topic. I thought this was about a a git
repository with a collection of submodules. If there are no
connections between repos, perhaps git-all fits better as a subcommand
of git-repo:

You could do that for the "--cached" case, but not for the plain diff.
But I think forking a "git status --porcelain -uno" and testing if it
produced any output should do the trick with a single fork.

This is wrong if you are on a platform that does have d_type, no?
It may say it is a symbolic link, and until you stat you wouldn't
know if it may lead to a directory.  You can add "case DT_LNK:" that
behaves the same as DT_UNKNOWN, I think.

But I still do not think this loop is correct.  In a repository that
has a working tree, you would learn that directory $D has $D/.git in
it, feed $D to handle_repo(), and then descend into $D/.git/objects/,
$D/.git/refs, and other random directories to see if you can find
other repositories.  That is just not right.

If this check were doing something like "The directory $D is worth
handing to handle_repo() if it has all of the following: objects/,
refs/ and HEAD that either points inside refs/ or 40-hex.", then it
would make a lot more sense to me, including the part that goes on
to check sibling directories.  As a bonus side effect, it will give
you a support for bare repositories for free.

Ahh, no, you don't.

I still think calling is_git_directory() on $D + "/.git" would be a
better implementation, though.

Except for the .gitfile case, which is_git_directory() doesn't seem to
handle. I guess I can invoke read_gitfile() when i see that .git is a
file.
