Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] submodule API & "absorbgitdirs": remove "----recursive" option
Date: Tue,  8 Nov 2022 15:10:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v2-6.9-322a02c30fc-20221108T140501Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v2-0.9-00000000000-20221108T140501Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Remove the "----recursive" option to "git submodule--helper
absorbgitdirs" (yes, with 4 dashes, not 2).

This option and all the "else" when "flags &
ABSORB_GITDIR_RECURSE_SUBMODULES" is false has never been used since
it was added in f6f85861400 (submodule: add absorb-git-dir function,
2016-12-12), which we'd have had to do as "----recursive", a
"--recursive" would have errored out.

It would be nice to follow-up with an optbug() assertion to
parse-options.c for such funnily named options, I manually validated
that this was the only long option whose name started with "-", but
let's skip adding such an assertion for now.
