Yes, that is pretty much intentional. Having a link for higher layer tools can use (i.e. tree objects can contain 160000 mode "gitlinks" to subproject commit objects) while not considering such linkage part of the reachability is the whole point of plumbing level subproject support. It allows people not to download repositories of uninteresting subprojects. Higher layer tools such as clone/checkout/diff could be instructed (currently they cannot be, though) to recurse into subproject directories if the user wants to.
fwiw: I just released cgit 0.3, which includes a script (submodules.sh) used to initialize, update and check status of submodules. It uses the file .gitmodules to map between submodule path and git repository url (cgit now uses git as a submodule). You can clone the repo here: git://hjemli.net/pub/git/cgit just look at the files here: http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/ -- larsh - 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
