The parameters are mostly analogous to + * those of create_branch() except for start_name, which is represented + * by two different parameters: + * + * - start_commitish is the commit-ish, in repository r, that determines + * which commits the branches will point to. The superproject branch + * will point to the commit of start_commitish and the submodule + * branches will point to the gitlink commit oids in start_commitish's + * tree. + * + * - tracking_name is the name of the ref, in repository r, that will be + * used to set up tracking information. This value is propagated to + * all submodules, which will evaluate the ref using their own ref + * stores. If NULL, this defaults to start_commitish. + * + * When this function is called on the superproject, start_commitish + * can be any user-provided ref and tracking_name can be NULL (similar + * to create_branches()). But when recursing through submodules, + * start_commitish is the plain gitlink commit oid. Since the oid cannot + * be used for tracking information, tracking_name is propagated and + * used for tracking instead. + */ +void create_branches_recursively(struct repository *r, const char *name, + const char *start_commitish, + const char *tracking_name, int force, + int reflog, int quiet, enum branch_track track, + int dry_run); +/* * Check if 'name' can be a valid name for a branch; die otherwise. * Return 1 if the named branch already exists; return 0 otherwise. * Fill ref with the full refname for the branch. |
