From: Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch series implements a mechanism for cloning submodules. Each submodule is specified by a 'submodule.<submodule>.url' configuration option, e.g., bash-3.00$ ./git-config --remote=http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/isa.git --get-regexp 'submodule\..*\.url' submodule.cloog.url /home/sverdool/public_html/cloog.git submodule.cloog.url http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/cloog.git git-checkout will use the first url that works. E.g., a git clone --submodules ssh://liacs/~/public_html/isa.git followed by git checkout origin/submodule (which only works for me), will use the first url, while a git clone --submodules http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/isa.git followed by git checkout origin/submodule will use the second. The cloning of submodules is now handled inside git-checkout. I currently do not fetch after the initial clone, since I'm not sure what ref to use for the revision I need to fetch for the supermodule. Suggestions are welcome. Note that this is still WIP, so there is no need to remind me that I still need to write documentation and tests. skimo - 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
