Yes, that's what I found. Couldn't convince myself it could be wrong, feels right to me. > If super (a directory) has a subproject sub as its subproject, > then you would be copying .git to sub/.git, not sub/, wouldn't > you? Yes, very likely. But it is not a super project in subproject sense, and why? Is there a reason I can't have a bare subproject? > What are you trying to achieve? I mirror some projects I am interested in. There is a directory where all the mirrors are: ~/src. It contains the git/git-svn/git-cvs repositories _and_ the scripts which do the mirroring: $ ls -a ./ gitk/ motion.gitsvn/ uclibc.gitsvn/ ../ gnulib.git/ moto4lin/ udev/ busybox.gitsvn/ gpsbabel.git/ mutt/ udhcp.gitsvn/ coreutils.git/ historic/ rt2500/ update-gits* count-git-objects* .htaccess sparse/ use-src/ dclock/ iproute2.git/ sunset/ wireless-2.6.git/ git/ klibc/ tig/ .git/ linux.git/ torsmo/ .gitignore mimesplit3/ tuner/ The super in my example is this ~/src, and it keeps track of changes to the scripts (some mirrors can be complicated, so I wanted to be prepared). Felt kind of natural to do it this way. Until I tried to repack the mirrored repos, and it didn't work as I expected. The repos are not tracked as subprojects (in fact, they're .gitignored). There is no point for me to have working directories for the mirrors: it is my home server, if I do something, I do it elsewhere. It is not exactly a "problem", and anyway there is a couple of solutions (pass --bare, create <mirror>/.git, for instance), I just fall into it and though it'd be a good idea to let others know. - 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
