Subject: [PATCH] gitmodules.5: url can be a relative path
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:41:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100715074155.GA22244@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1007150745340.13735@perkele.intern.softwolves.pp.se>
There is already excellent documentation for this facility in
git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.
Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the
same repository over multiple protocols, for example.
Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.
