Add git-submodule command This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and repository url. Example .gitmodules layout: [module "git"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository at kernel.org into the directory "git". Known issues ============ There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file, except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan. Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

git-submodule - Initialize, update or inspect submodules
SYNOPSIS
--------
Add [verse] to the SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt. The SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt contains two forms. Since it doesn't use the verse style, the line boundary between them is not preserved and the second form can appear on the same line as the first form. Adding [verse] enables the verse style, which preserves the line boundary between them. Signed-off-by: Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-submodule - Allow adding a submodule in-place When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to the top-level in place. This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the existing subdir to the current project. The presumption is the user will later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future submodule init / updates will work. Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an existing project. The former functionality remains, and the clone is attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

specified, the path is deduced from the repository specification.
git-submodule - allow a relative path as the subproject url This allows a subproject's location to be specified and stored as relative to the parent project's location (e.g., ./foo, or ../foo). This url is stored in .gitmodules as given. It is resolved into an absolute url by appending it to the parent project's url when the information is written to .git/config (i.e., during submodule add for the originator, and submodule init for a downstream recipient). This allows cloning of the project to work "as expected" if the project is hosted on a different server than when the subprojects were added.
