I've > never actually understood why do some people dislike it. First, it is in the context of git, so one can say that "git+" is implied. Documentation mentions only "ssh://". That said I prefer "git+ssh://" to "ssh://" alone. Second, IIRC Linus prefers scp-like syntax for SSH protocol, namely "[user]@host:/path/to/repo", so perhaps that one should be used instead. >> Jakub was also talking about support in gitweb for specifying >> the location of submodules.

The problem is that repo.or.cz needs support for that in gitweb, while gitweb in turn needs support for that in git. This needs git consensus on how to specify object database location (or just gitdir) for submodules, to have later submodule support in gitweb. -- Jakub Narebski Poland - 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
