Well, like your patch, this only deals with cases where the submodule is already available. In write_entry you could potentially clone submodules based on some criteria, but I'm not doing this just yet since some people apparently prefer to get these things in pieces. Also, it seems that some people would like this to be a step that is separated from git-checkout (see Lars' patch). 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
