[PATCH 4/6] Add "S_IFDIRLNK" file mode infrastructure for git links

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This just adds the basic helper functions to recognize and work with git
tree entries that are links to other git repositories ("subprojects").
They still aren't actually connected up to any of the code-paths, but
now all the infrastructure is in place.

The next commit will start actually adding actual subproject support.
