I mean that if I have cloned a repository with submodules, cloning that repository with --recurse-submodules will either access the "central server" if absolute URLs are used, or requires additional clones for each submodule. For example git clone --recursive http://somewhere/projectA.git git clone --recursive file://$(pwd)/projectA projectA.tmp The second command will cause the submodules to be downloaded again, or expect them to be found in $(pwd). Or am I mistaken, or doing something wrong? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
