Subject: Add submodule specifying depth and branch at the same time won't work
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 16:48:09 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAELgYhcmzDEVRH9neGwZeqVBduL-nb=d+XoSMwRGKpmLUeX83g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

For example, I can do:

git clone --depth 1 --branch devel git@gitlab.com:memeplex/bash.git

But if I try:

git submodule add --depth 1 -b devel git@gitlab.com:memeplex/bash.git

I get:

fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'devel' at the same time.
Did you intend to checkout 'origin/devel' which can not be resolved as commit?
Unable to checkout submodule 'src/aur/bash'


I think the devel branch is left outside the update because depth is
just 1, but then the same could be said for the clone, which just
works. The request should be interpreted as depth 1 inside devel
branch.
