Hm. I did mention this was completely untested, yes? The problem comes
from the fact that '-s ours' wants to use HEAD, not the index. But you
can't amend a normal commit into a merge, apparently. And I don't think
you want a commit that adds the files and a commit that "does the merge"
as two separate steps.
Well, I don't know how to make the porcelain do this then. But the
plumbing can definitely do it. Hopefully someone more used to doing
strange things like this can give a simpler recipe, but this should
work.
# First reset to the commit you made with all the modules added.
vim commit-message # Create a merge message
commit=$(git commit-tree HEAD: -p HEAD^ -p module_a/master -p
module_b/master -p module_c/master < commit-message)
git update-ref HEAD $commit # Update your current ref
