Yes.  Fetch the revision of interest from that "mirror of the super
project" and then either run something like `git submodule status` on
it or parse the file '.gitmodules' contained in that revision which
actually maps submodule names to their repositories.

See the "git-submodule" and "gitmodules" manual pages for more info.

If you don't want to get the full clone, look at the "--depth" and
"--single-branch" command-line options of `git clone` or look at
`git archive` if your mirror supports it.

If the superproject knows it's submodules( which it does), is there a way
to extract that info from a mirror of the super project?

  Hello,



  Is there  way to get a list of submodules from a mirror?
  I dont want to clone the mirror, init submodules and then get the list.

  On a related topic:


  git clone --recursive  --mirror https://git.openstack.org/openstack/openstack


  This does not work either.  is there way to accomplish this? ( and then to 
keep submodule mirrors list current? )

  Thanks


Remember that submodules are complete projects in their own right. Ther is no 
flag or other markings that will, within a project repo, indicate if it is used 
as a submodule.

The sub-module data is carried with the super-project.

[git-users] Submodules list from a mirror.

[Anand Desai]

Hello,



Is there  way to get a list of submodules from a mirror?
I dont want to clone the mirror, init submodules and then get the list.

On a related topic:


git clone --recursive  --mirror 
https://git.openstack.org/openstack/openstack


This does not work either.  is there way to accomplish this? ( and then to 
keep submodule mirrors list current? )

Thanks
