Hi,
Today I noticed to my surprise, that a repository with submodules
contains absolute paths.in the .git file of each sub module.
This is kind of surprising to me and seems to make it absolutely
impossible to have a non bare git repository on a memory stick.
It also seems to make it impossible to rename a working repository after
cloning.
So I have three questions.
1.) Is there any way to force git to use relative path names, such, that
this issue just disappears.
2,) Is there any existing script, that allows me to move a git
repository to another location without breaking it's sub modules.
3.) Why do these path names have to be absolute? Is this for performance
reasons? path names relative to the location of the .git file seem to be
much more flexible / portable.
Thanks in advance for your answers
