Update of repository with sub-modules silently remove submodule if no commit found
Description: I had had migrated a Mercurial repository with submodules to git. Then team pushed new changes to the Mercurial so I had to re-import it to git. Unfortunately I did a mistake: I forgot to re-import changes in submodule repository and just re-imported the parent repo. After a verification of git commits I found out that submodule was deleted.
Steps to reproduce
-
create submodule mapping "submodule"="../submodule"
-
Import submodule
-
Import parent repository
-
Add new commit in submodule mercurial repository
-
Add new commit in parent mercurial repository
-
Run hg-fast-import for parent repository only
Result: Parent repository contains a commit with removal of sub-module. Stdout contains a warning that commit of sub-module is missing
Expected result: hg-fast-import.sh should throw error. Migration should be halted.
That sounds like a bug, the reasonable thing is, as you say, to error out. @MokhamedDakhraui, @johannesc can you take a look?
