For example this command will only print `Hello` +for each git subproject: `meson subprojects foreach --type git echo "Hello"`. + +Subprojects with no wrap file are now taken into account as well. This happens +for example for subprojects configured as git submodule, or downloaded manually +by the user and placed into the `subprojects/` directory. + +The `checkout` subcommand now always stash any pending changes before switching +branch. Note that `update` subcommand was already stashing changes before updating +the branch. + +If the command fails on any subproject the execution continues with other +subprojects, but at the end an error code is now returned. + +The `update` subcommand has been reworked: +- The `--rebase` behaviour is now the default for consistency: it was + already rebasing when current branch and revision are the same, it is + less confusing to rebase when they are different too. +- Add `--reset` mode that checkout the new branch and hard reset that + branch to remote commit. This new mode guarantees that every + subproject are exactly at the wrap's revision. +- Local changes are always stashed first to avoid any data loss. In the + worst case scenario the user can always check reflog and stash list to + rollback. |
