I do this a lot. At my $dayjob we have a super project with bunch of sub projects. Each subproject has its corresponding rpm spec file in the superproject - it's quite often that I work on a "git-merge-base--octopus" branch that updates only the spec files and nothing else - so when changing between branches I don't care what states the submodules are in. When the fixes to the spec files are ready I just checkout to the respective branches and merge in the changes - I don't actively do "git submodule update" when switching to different branches. nazri -- 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
