From: "Heiko Voigt" <hvoigt@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 7:59 PM Subject: [PATCH] document submdule.$name.update=none option for gitmodules
This option was not yet described in the gitmodules documentation. We only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but gitmodules is the more natural place to look.
The gitmodules documentation is only more natural if we tell (link) the reader early in the submodule documentation. A link to gitmodules should be provided in the third paragraph of Description where the .gitmodules is introduced.
Currently the gitmodules link is the last thing mentioned (i.e. 8 PgDn's for me).
A short reference in the 'git submodule' documentation should be sufficient since the details can now be found in the documentation to gitmodules.
