The url, path, and the update items in [submodule "foo"] stanzas are nicely explained in the .gitmodules and ‘git submodule’ documentation. Point there from the config documentation.

2010-07-15gitmodules.5: url can be a relative pathLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+3
There is already excellent documentation for this facility in git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable. Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the same repository over multiple protocols, for example. Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

2010-07-05Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parseLibravatar Michael J Gruber16-22/+21
Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).

2010-07-05git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+4
Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git add --force'. I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just "*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree already. When I do: git submodule add <url> hlagh git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the new path: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: hlagh Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added Failed to add submodule 'hlagh' Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it. That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead it should just add the path with `git add --force'. Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to `git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it. So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then try again with the --force option. That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out `git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-06-25Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"Libravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+11
In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content. Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before 1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter. And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the output of the submodule summary). A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already knew it.
