I've just started taking a closer look at vcsh for keeping my dot-files in git. Currently I'm keeping them all in a single git repo, which I check out straight into my $HOME (i.e. I have a $HOME/.git). I think I like the approach of vcsh better, but there is one little detail that I can't seem to work out: how can I control where submodules are recorded?
I have a few submodules in my $HOME for the solarized colour scheme:
~~~~
[submodule ".solarized/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized"]
path = .solarized/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
url = https://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git
[submodule ".solarized/ls-colors-solarized"]
path = .solarized/ls-colors-solarized
url = https://github.com/sigurdga/ls-colors-solarized.git
[submodule ".solarized/mutt-colors-solarized"]
path = .solarized/mutt-colors-solarized
url = https://github.com/altercation/mutt-colors-solarized.git
~~~~
I would like to record them in separate vcsh-repos, so that the colour
schemes are kept in the most obvious repo, e.g. the mutt colour scheme
is a submodule of ~/.config/vcsh/repo.d/mutt.git. But I can't find
any way to tell `git submodule` where to record the information, it
always uses $GIT_WORK_TREE/.gitmodules. Is there something I've
missed here?
/M
I am aware I could just skip using submodules, just clone them, and
then use something like `mr` to keep them up-to-date. The only limit
is I'd like to be able to use it in cygwin too.
