Is it possible to treat submodules as normal directories/files? I'm using Git not just for source code, but also for documents and my "projects" directory (mainly an Eclipse Workspace) in my home directory. Though Git may not be designed for this, it is an easy way do create a backup and sync my home directory between my machines :-). This works fine, except for Git repositories inside my home (projects) directory. Is there a way, to treat them like normal directories so I can add them via git add? Thank you and thanks for Git, which is just great :-). -- GMX DSL: Internet-, Telefon- und Handy-Flat ab 19,99 EUR/mtl. Bis zu 150 EUR Startguthaben inklusive! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
