I second plugins as git submodules. My company has built up a suite of standard plugins we use in apps for various things, and with git submodules it's easy to cascade updates to those plugins to all the apps that use them.
I'll give you a piece of advice that took me forever to sort out. The two following commands are not equivalent: (Assuming vendor/plugins/my_plugin is the root of your submodule) $ git add vendor/plugins/my_plugin $ git add vendor/plugins/my_plugin/ The trailing slash (often added my tab completion) gives you all sorts of problems with submodules. Beware! ;) Cheers, Darrik On Feb 16, 4:10 am, Peter De Berdt <[email protected]> wrote: > On 16 Feb 2009, at 05:56, ericindc wrote: > > > But aren't plugins packaged with the application?
