Perhaps the submodule is now used for something else (this is why it was moved) and that now you'd like to keep it? Anyway, you can just create several supermodules or implement generic partial tree support for git. I do not see any reason to special case submodules here. --=20 Martin Waitz --OFqRauS4h7B9gLIC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFceD8j/Eaxd/oD7IRAhVxAJ9Q2X8Ck0znmLAj6PbtvumpAA6ZzACeKStn IHmDEApV/omkeTA8HfZPEz0= =rgG0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
