Ah, nice to see I'm not alone in looking at this. I was actually leaning towards reporting it against git(-submodule) itself; it strikes me as odd that there is no GIT_SUBMODULE environment variable I can set to control where stuff is recorded. It strikes me as a more obvious use case than the funky, but oh so useful, detachment that GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE allows :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
