The git submodule porcelain must be executed from the top level of the
work tree. Use 'git rev-parse --show-cdup' to find the top level
relative to the source tree. This is better than searching up the tree
for .git ourselves because it will always work the same way Git does and
thus honors settings like GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM.
Commit c3781efb (Support Git upstream branch rewrites, 2010-06-08)
assumed that ".git/FETCH_HEAD" exists inside the source tree. Fix the
implementation to handle a work tree using a ".git file" to link to its
repository. Use "git rev-parse --git-dir" to locate the real .git dir.
Use 'git fetch' followed by 'git reset' to update the source tree. This
is better than 'git pull' because it can handle a rewritten upstream
branch and does not leave local modifications. After fetch, parse
FETCH_HEAD to find the merge head that 'git pull' would choose to track
the upstream branch. Then reset to the selected head.
In the normal fast-forward case the behavior remains unchanged.
However, now local modifications and commits will be erased, and
upstream rewrites are handled smoothly. This ensures that the upstream
branch is tested as expected.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This creates cmCTestGIT to drive CTest Update handling on git-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (git pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this. See issue #6994.
