[PATCH] submodule.sh update --remote: default to oid instead of master

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



gitmodules(5) sayeth:

   submodule.<name>.branch
       A remote branch name for tracking updates in the upstream
       submodule. If the option is not specified, it defaults to master.

This doesn't allow having a "pinned" submodule that should not be updated
from upstream. We should change this to have no default --- if branch is
not specified, don't update that submodule, just like in Gerrit's
corresponding feature[1].
