Hi, I tried to use submodules in git. Since I am using gitorious at the moment it would be nice to have relative urls to be able to checkout as user and as developer. When I am using a checkout over git's native protocol it works fine but when I am trying to use ssh it creates a bogus url and nothing changes if I am using more ../ before the url. Lets explain it by example. First thing is that we are assuming that we checked out it over git's own protocol (it is emulated by setting the origin url in my example) $ mkdir test1 $ cd test1 $ git init $ git remote add origin git://gitorious.org/test/mainline.git $ git submodule init $ git submodule add ../../test2/mainline.git subdir Initialized empty Git repository in ~/test1/subdir/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 123, done. .... Ok, you will receive a Initialized empty Git repository in ~/test1/subdir/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Clone of 'git://gitorious.org/test2/mainline.git' into submodule path 'subdir' failed but that is fine because git://gitorious.org/test2/mainline.git is a valid gitorious url (if somebody would create test2 as project). Lets take a look at gitorious urls for ssh push access. They look like git@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:test1/mainline.git - similar to the ones used for pull over the public git daemon. $ mkdir test1 $ cd test1 $ git init $ git remote add origin git@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:test1/mainline.git $ git submodule init $ git submodule add ../../test2/mainline.git subdir Initialized empty Git repository in ~/test1/subdir/.git/ Access denied or bad repository path fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Clone of 'git@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:test1/test2/mainline.git' into submodule path 'subdir' failed This is definitely not the url I expected. It is unimportant how many more ../ I add but the test1/ will not get away. It is also important that their is no / after : or otherwise the clone will fail too. This is an important issue for KDE because they want to use (Qt's) gitorious and maybe submodules when they want switch to git. $ git --version git version 1.6.1.1.230.gdfb04 and on my origin/next test $ git --version git version 1.6.1.1.363.g2a3bd -- Robert Wohlrab -- 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
