[PATCHv3] rev-parse: add --show-superproject-working-tree

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

 



In some situations it is useful to know if the given repository
is a submodule of another repository.

Add the flag --show-superproject-working-tree to git-rev-parse
to make it easy to find out if there is a superproject.

paths from "rev-parse" (like "--git-dir", "--show-toplevel", etc.) already
are excempt from quoting rules, apparently.

  $ git rev-parse --show-toplevel
/usr/local/google/home/sbeller/OSS/git/t/trash directory.t1500-rev-parse
