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 handled inside git-checkout. git-checkout will now also checkout/fetch any submodule than is present (i.e., the corresponding subdirectory has a .git) irrespective of the --submodules option. A forced checkout of the submodule directory, i.e., git checkout submodule will (clone and) checkout the submodule. 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
