I was running a script to create a backup of each submodule on a server I have ssh access to. I was surprised to find that git submodule foreach stopped silently after the first submodule. A little debugging and I find that git submodule foreach 'ssh localhost "ls /"' - stops silently after Putting some input redirection will work around the problem. Presumably some pipe input is going into the ssh accidentally. git submodule foreach 'ssh localhost "ls /" < /dev/null' I'll also just take this moment to advertise gitslave (http://gitslave.sf.net) as an alternate to submodules which may help (or hinder) you--depending on your workflow. It doesn't suffer from this particular problem in any case. -Seth Robertson -- 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
