When implementing the --depth argument for submodules, I would have prefered that the depth was set from the commit of the submodules refered from the superprojekt and not it's branch. However this can't be done, since you can only clone from refs and not from a commit. However there's nothing that stops us from allowing to clone from a commit (of course we need to make sure that that commit is in a tree with a ref as leaf). I see this as a natural next step for the --depth function and something needed for it to be really useful. I'm actually suprised that people successfully uses the --depth function already since you always need to know how deep down the commit is. -- Med vänlig hälsning Fredrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iveqy@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
