Well, it only needs to be new enough to understand enough of submodules so that it can play the server part. So once we are in that part to be stable we can merge it to master, so that kernel.org can use it. Full submodule support should then mature until the next major version after which git.git could use it itself. --=20 Martin Waitz --osDK9TLjxFScVI/L 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) iD8DBQFGKaquj/Eaxd/oD7IRArGbAJ0Wia1sYkaQQhu803MatmcVVl78vQCeMCuw MQMamatrZ+Q5/96AULFTGkw= =9e9t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --osDK9TLjxFScVI/L--
