Side note: that's not to say that I would really see why you'd want to have both the tree and the commit SHA1's, and why you seemingly think that the links don't need a filename. Hmm?
I really want that file-name back - we can call it a mind short-circuit.
If you require the tree objects to be in the database, you might as well require that the commit object be there. But you could make rules that say that subprojects don't need the whole commit history, for example (which is just a shallow clone in the subproject).
You have a very good point here, this would give us the history of the files we're interested in without having to bother with the submodule. - 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
