From 53e4c5dcab33d2718476867b865da9679bd2c24a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Lehmann Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2012 23:32:26 +0100 Subject: Teach rm to remove submodules when given with a trailing '/' Doing a "git rm submod/" on a submodule results in an error: fatal: pathspec 'submod/' did not match any files This is really inconvenient as e.g. using TAB completion in a shell on a submodule automatically adds the trailing '/' when it completes the path of the submodule directory. The user has then to remove the '/' herself to make a "git rm" succeed. Doing a "git rm -r somedir/" is working fine, so there is no reason why that shouldn't work for submodules too. Teach git rm to not error out when a '/' is appended to the path of a submodule. Achieve this by chopping off trailing slashes from the path names given if they represent directories. Add tests to make sure that logic only applies to directories and not to files.
