I have a repository with a submodule and I'd like to force git to checkout the LAST version of the submodule and not the stored one (like git submodule update --remote), but only on some branches and without the need to remember to add --remote every time you are on this branch. Is there any way to do it? Maybe using .gitmodules?
Not yet. But yes, .gitmodules would be the right place to put such a configuration as then it would be per submodule and also per (superproject-)branch. By the way, what do you think the output of git status and git diff should look like when you updated a submodule to its branch tip which differs from the commit recorded in the superproject? Should these changes be displayed or not? And only if the new tip is a fast-forward of the old or always? -- 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
