[RFC PATCH] Support gitlinks in fast-import/export.

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

 



Currently fast-import/export cannot be used for
repositories with submodules. This patch extends
the relevant programs to make them correctly
process gitlinks.

	I noticed that fast-export & fast-import cannot work with
	repositories using submodules: import complains about
	an invalid mode, and export fails while trying to open the SHA
	as a blob.

	As I didn't see any particular reason for it to be so, I tried to
	implement support for gitlinks.

	What I'm unsure of is, should fast-export try to reuse commit
	marks for gitlinks where it happened to recognize the object,
	or always output the SHA as it is stored in the tree?
