What do you mean by "local commit?" With no arg documented, my understanding was that I should first "git remote add" and fetch the repo in which the branch to be added as subtree lived. This when running "git subtree add", the commit was indeed existing locally. > > As a sidenote it someone wants to do some maintainance, using "." as > > repository when > > the branch to subtree-add is already locally available does not work well > > either > > (fails with "could not find ref myremote/myhead"). > > Seems to work for me.

Specifying a local branch works fine, though, as does a raw commit hash. What do you mean by "local commit?" I have updated the documentation and will submit it tonight or tomorrow. Any invalid refspec should be caught early and a more useful message will be displayed. > Furthermore, the doc paragraph for add, aside from mentionning , > also > mentions a which the synopsis does not show either.

Seems to work for me. Can you give me the command you're using when you see the problem?

As soon as there is one patch per feature that applies cleanly to contrib/ and testcases use the native git test facility. These patches should be submitted to the mailing list for review. -David -- 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

Any plans to get them merged anytime soon ? I guess you may want to rebase the patches from https://github.com/helmo/git-subtree, the subtree-updates patch looks like a "subtree merge --squash" result, and is not really suitable for reviewing on the list. > The documentation issue is also fixed in there. > -- Yann Dirson - Bertin Technologies -- 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
