Hi, In 2.0.0 release notes (00eda23), Newly cloned submodule repositories by "git submodule update", when the "checkout" update mode is used, will be on a local branch instead of on a detached HEAD, just like submodules added with "git submodule add". It is not clear. 1. Is "checkout" update mode the default? (when without any command line options) 2. Does "merge" update mode checkouts a local branch instead of on a detached HEAD? -- 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
