Also, gitdir file is not for sole consumption of the submodule feature. Keep separate things separate, and don't try to tie unrelated concepts together. -- 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
