This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
Pull Request #104755
rB546314fc9669 broke `svn_libraries_base_url` utils API compatibility
for no good reasons, making new `branch` argument explicitely optional.
Reported on chat by Michael Kowalski (@makowalski), thanks!
Needed for studio sprite-fright frozen branch.
Also do not overwrite branch for git sub-modules when it is defined, and
fallback to `master` branch in case specified branch is not found in a
specific sub-repository.
This prints a more informative message, and is convenient when working with
local changes or in a branch where you only need to update submodules or tests.
