From the other thread:
I think the underlying config needs updating:
.git/modules/tests/fp/berkeley-testfloat-3/config
I'm surprised the git config for submodules doesn't carry the metadata.
Yeah, in my local repo that I merge stuff with that file
does still have a github URL:
url = git://github.com/cota/berkeley-testfloat-3
So I guess my questions are:
(1) why hasn't this been a problem up til now ?
Well this is the first time we've had to tweak testfloat since Emilio
introduced it when we first added the fp tests.
(2) does this mean that if I merge this then everybody will
need to manually go in and update this file somehow
to be able to pull the updated qemu master ?
It will depend on how old their checkout is. I don't know why git does
just honour the metadata in .git-submodules - maybe there is a command
line stanza to reset the origin repo of submodules?
git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]
Synchronizes submodules' remote URL configuration setting to
the value specified in .gitmodules. It will only affect those
submodules which already have a URL entry in .git/config (that
is the case when they are initialized or freshly added). This
is useful when submodule URLs change upstream and you need to
update your local repositories accordingly.
If --recursive is specified, this command will recurse into the
registered submodules, and sync any nested submodules within.
