Our CM team likes to use both submodules and branches and it doesn't always work cleanly. Some examples: 1. The new release on branch "next_release" adds a submodule, but then the submodule shows up on all branches including the production branch. 2. For next release on branch "next_release" a submodule was renamed by moving the target directory, but now git submodule update makes two copies. Git generally does a good job of tracking renames and deletions, so the fact that submodules leave stuff behind is surprising. -- 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
