Subject: git add after changing a submodule
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 13:50:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <810a540e0804041350u7fe4a5c4t7e86274e188e3e91@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
If I make a change to a submodule and commit it, I then have to add it
to the parent repo. If I do
git add path/to/submodule
then it works fine. But if I do
git add path/to/submodule/ (with trailing slash)
then it blows away the submodule and adds all the files in that directory.
Seems pretty dangerous to me. I know that I can just use git commit
-a to do it, but I'd like to prevent the mistake of adding the path
and screwing up the repo. Is it possible to protect the submodules a
bit more?
Pat
