[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] use absolute URLs for .gitmodules

[Paolo Bonzini]

The relative URLs do not work when cloning a fork of qemu or when
cloning from the Savannah URL.

Is the slash at the end of the URL really wanted?

It works either with or without.

Relative URLs are more friendly for users of proxies.

Users of proxies can still customize their .git/config file.  This
bug caused (or contributed to) a real problem in the qemu-kvm
releases (they do not include seabios/vgabios references).

That's odd because Avi's the one who has historically advocated relative 
URLs.

If we also get rid of the savannah git repo, or plan to do so, I have no 
issue with reverting this patch.

If someone can suggest a solution for mailing list hosting, I'd be happy 
to leave Savannah tomorrow.

I'm not overly eager to do a mailing list migration though so if we do 
the migration, we ought to ensure that we only have to do it once.

Savannah requires you to keep the main source repo on Savannah.  We're 
currently mirroring the git tree on git.qemu.org so it is possible to 
clone directly from there.

vger.kernel.org has been hassle free since we moved to it.

Does anyone object to moving the mailing lists to vger.kernel.org?

We would then start pushing directly to git.qemu.org.

There is still the problem that

   "git.savannah.nongnu.org" qemu -site:savannah.nongnu.org

returns 6 times more hits than

   "git.qemu.org" -site:qemu.org

On one hand, this would be in favor of keeping my patch (savannah users 
cannot get submodules correctly); on the other hand, it means that 
leaving Savannah is not so easy.

If you prefer that, go ahead and revert it.
