Specifically, the proper way to do this (for an initial 'sync-all get'; it gets more complicated for non-initial 'sync-all get's) is: - before invoking 'git submodule update', iterate over the entries in "git config --get-regexp ^submodule" and - rewrite the repo URLs (by using 'git config' again), assuming that 'http://git.haskell.org/' is the original repo-base/prefix which is to be replaced by the current $repo_base - proceed with 'git submodule update' Btw, the implementation in sync-all at https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/sync-all#L897-L912 seems a bit confusing; the "submodule init" in the "if ($command eq "get" or $command eq "pull")" branch is probably never invoked. cheers, hvr _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
