I was surprised to learn that a commit ID in a tree does not prevent Git from pruning the corresponding commit object if one happens to exist in the same repository. That might be best documented under "Tree Object" in user-manual.txt though, rather than in git-submodule.txt. -- 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
