Prerequisites
Description
git-utils@v5.7.0 was published to the npm package registry without the submodule files included.
This occurs when running npm publish, after cloning this repository non-recursively (should be git clone --recurse-submodules (or git clone --recurse as a shorthand syntax)... or after cloning non-recursively, one should run git submodule update --init.
This brings in the submodule at deps/libgit2. Without these files included in the published tarball, the package lacks the library it is based around, and the package does not build or function -- the package is effectively broken if uploaded without the submodule included.
Steps to Reproduce
mkdir inspect_gitutils_tarball && cd inspect_gitutils_tarball
npm pack git-utils@5.7.0 (This downloads git-utils@v5.7.0 from the npm package registry)
tar xf git-utils-5.7.0.tgz (Unpack the tarball, wait for it to finish unpacking)
ls ./package (inspect the contents of the tarball, looking for the deps/libgit2 submodule files to be present)
Expected behavior:
% ls ./package-5.6.2
LICENSE.md appveyor.yml deps src
README.md binding.gyp package.json
Submodule should be included in the tarball; there should be files in deps/libgit2
Actual behavior:
% ls ./package-5.7.0
LICENSE.md appveyor.yml package.json
README.md binding.gyp src
Submodule is not included; there is no deps folder in the tarball.
Reproduces how often:
100% with v5.7.0
Versions
git-utils@v5.7.0
Additional Information
Please consider uploading a v5.7.1 with the submodule initialized. Also, consider #104 to make sure the submodule is automatically initialized before publishing this package. #104 or a similar approach would effectively prevent this issue from happening in the process of uploading future releases.
