The "checkout --recurse-submodules" series got too large to comfortably send it out for review, so I had to break it up into smaller series'; this is the first subseries, but it makes sense on its own. This series teaches git-rm to absorb the git directory of a submodule instead of failing and complaining about the git directory preventing deletion. It applies on origin/sb/submodule-embed-gitdir. Any feedback welcome! Thanks, Stefan Stefan Beller (6): submodule.h: add extern keyword to functions submodule: modernize ok_to_remove_submodule to use argv_array submodule: add flags to ok_to_remove_submodule ok_to_remove_submodule: absorb the submodule git dir t3600: slightly modernize style rm: add absorb a submodules git dir before deletion builtin/rm.c | 21 +++----- cache.h | 2 + entry.c | 5 ++ submodule.c | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++----- submodule.h | 64 ++++++++++++++--------- t/t3600-rm.sh | 159 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------- 6 files changed, 182 insertions(+), 146 deletions(-) -- 2.11.0.rc2.35.g7af3268
