I do *not* submit it as a patch for actual inclusion - the other patches in the series are, I think, ready to actually be merged. This one is not. It's broken for a few reasons: - it allows you to do "git add subproject" to add the subproject to the index (and then use "git commit" to commit it), but even something as simple as "git commit -a" doesn't work right, because the sequence that "git commit -a" uses to update the index doesn't work with the current state of the plumbing (ie the git-diff-files --name-only -z | git-update-index --remove -z --stdin thing doesn't work right. - even for "git add", the logic isn't really right. It should take the old index state into account to decide if it wants to add it as a subproject. so this patch really isn't very good, but it allows people who are interested to perhaps actually test something. For example, my test repo was actually created with this: [torvalds@woody superproject]$ git log --raw commit 649ad968bdd79cb3b0f50feb819b7e9b134d3a1a Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 9 21:36:53 2007 -0700 This commits the modification to sub-project B :160000 160000 5813084832d3c680a3436b0253639c94ed55445d 17d246a35f27a46762328281eb6e9d4558f91e9d M sub-B commit f3c55ffcc000a8c0fecc6801e8909d084e3d419e Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 9 16:12:29 2007 -0700 Superproject with two subprojects :000000 160000 0000000... c0daf4c85d48879ab450a6a887bbb241eb0de00a A sub-A :000000 160000 0000000... 5813084832d3c680a3436b0253639c94ed55445d A sub-B commit 45eb14edb43b10e3d3ac7a495a1ec861e85dc36f Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 9 15:36:24 2007 -0700 Add top-level Makefile for super-project :000000 100644 0000000... 57e8394...
