For what it's worth, for my (odd) use cases, what would be most practical is [remote "foo"] fetch = ... submodules = ... I could care less about the defaults. :) Rationale: I shouldn't have to explicitly use --submodules to get everything I need to hack before dropping connectivity, but I also don't want to pay the penalty of fetching, say, git-gui when I don't need it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
