submodule.$name.url is ignored during submodule update
Hi, I've noticed that the 'submodule.$name.url' config parameter from the main repository is ignored when a submodule needs to be updated, the submodule's 'remote.origin.url' is used instead. Is there any way to customize the submodule url for both the initial clone and for updates? -- Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: submodule.$name.url is ignored during submodule update
I want to use a custom url for both initial submodule clone and submodule update. Git submodule man page states that if I run 'git submodule init' and then change the 'submodule.$name.url' in the main repository config, git will use this url instead of url in .gitmodules. Git does use the custom url for initial submodule clone, but doesn't use it when cloned submodule needs to be updated. Is that by design?

It will synchronize the url in .gitmodules with to the remote.origin.url for each submodule. I'm not sure about the second part of your question: are you talking about using different URLs for the initial clone and updates? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Re: submodule.$name.url is ignored during submodule update
Sorry, my bad. I thought 'git submodule sync' changes only 'submodule.$name.url' in main repository config, but it also changes the 'remote.origin.url' in submodule's config. I indeed ran 'git submodule sync', that's why the default url was used even though 'submodule.$name.url' had a different value.
