This is the reason why I prefer 'git subtree' to 'git submodule': with subtree the content of the ext/... directories become an integral part of the parent repo. A simple git pull/git fetch is enough to receive the dependencies at the correct version. At the same time, it is possible to 'split out' the sub-repo, e. g. to push a patch to upstream. Kambiz
