Hello Sergey, I am currently unable to check out the last tar commit, c5c6440ba "Accept relative file names in recursive exclude files", from you, if I include submodules when checking out (and one needs them).
The error is: $ git pull --recurse-submodules warning: redirecting to https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/tar.git/ Fetching submodule gnulib warning: redirecting to https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/ Fetching submodule paxutils warning: redirecting to https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/paxutils.git/ Already up to date. warning: redirecting to https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/ warning: redirecting to https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/ fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 8d8198fa1efa3e33f3712afff2e99f98d44db468 fatal: Fetched in submodule path 'gnulib', but it did not contain 8d8198fa1efa3e33f3712afff2e99f98d44db468. Direct fetching of that commit failed. The problem seems to be that you referenced an unavailable commit of the gnulib submodule, because the gnulib feature that you need was committed only later by Paul, but has a different commit ID: a5072659 "exclude: new function excluded_file_name_status". Please fix. Regards, Pavel
