Not the checkout, which is strange.

It is much more tedious. It have to be done recursively, and with right SHA and you have to cd into right direcotry first and it is git-read-tree and git-checkout-index, BTW. IOW, it is hard. > The reason for not putting this in shouldn't be that someone doesn't > think it is useful; the reason should be that my code is crap. The code is not a problem. It can be also discarded because you implemented something no one wants. I just meant to say, that even if no one wants your subproject cloning code, _I_ support your checkout effort and I am asking for it to be put in. "First", as the cloning discussion does not seem to be finished (and, as I said, I am not interested in cloning anyway). - 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
