Hi,
I have a closed source Git repo which references an Open Source Git repo as
Submodule. The Open Source Git repo references yet another Open Source repo as
submodule. In order to avoid failing builds due to external services I mirrored
the Open Source repos in my company network. That works great with the first
level of Submodules. Unfortunately it does not work with the second level
because the first level still references the "outside of company" repos. I know
I can rewrite Git URLs with the git config "url.<base>.insteadOf" option.
However, git configs are client specific. I would prefer a solution that works
without setup on any client. I also know that I could update the .gitmodules
file in the Open Source repo on the first level. I also would prefer not to do
this as I want to use the very same hashes as defined by the "upstream" Open
Source repos.
Is there yet another way in Git to change URLs of Submodules in the way I want
it?
If not, what do you think about a patch that adds a "url" section similar to
the one in git config to a .gitmodules file?
Example:
----------
[submodule "git"]
path = git
url=git://github.com/larsxschneider/git.git
[url "mycompany.com"]
insteadOf = outside.com
----------
Thanks,
Lars--
