Subject: Reference a submodule branch instead of a commit
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:14:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <57F29FEF.30700@game-point.net> (raw)
At the moment, supermodules must reference a given commit in each of
its submodules. If one is in control of a submodule and it changes on
a regular basis, this can cause a lot of overhead with "submodule
updated" commits in the supermodule. It would be useful of git allows
the option of referencing a submodule's branch instead of a given
submodule commit. How about adding this functionality?
