Hi all,
I have three git repo's:
A imports B as a submodule, and has "branch = ." set for B in .gitmodules
B imports C as a submodule, and has "branch = ." set for C in .gitmodules
I had hoped that checking out a branch in A, and then running 'git
submodule update --remote --recursive' in A would checkout the latest
commit from that branch in the two submodules.
This works as expected for B (checks out the right SHA as a deteched
head), but because I'm left on a detached head the update fails for C
with a "branch configured to inherit branch from superproject"
message.
While I'm guessing this is the expected behaviour, is it possible to
make the "branch = ." option use the branch name from the parent
transitively? Or is there another mechanism I should be using to
achieve what I'm trying to do?
Andy.
