Git and Submodules
Ohloh fails on many Git repositories
because they are using sub-modules.
Do you plan updating Git version soon?
Thanks,
Pascal.
Hi Pascal,
We do plan to update our Git version, but I can't make any promises about how soon we can get to it. It seems we are always busy with priority-one fixes.
It does seem like a simple thing to roll out the new code (and I'm running the latest Git on my development box), but given how much code we have stored in Git, we need to be very careful about rolling out any new code to our servers.
Thanks for pinging this issue; it definitely help gets features done when people ask for them :-)
This is quite important for me as most of my Git repositories are using submodules.
I understand that this must be taken carefully. Though latest Git release
is quite stable and should be ok. I'm
following the Git development and I'm
using the git-du-jour
without trouble
since some time.
Anyway, looking forward for this improvement.
Thanks,
Pascal.
Thanks for your patience; I do really want to make this move.
I agree that the later Git version is probably very stable (and probably of better quality than the old version we are using!) but I'm most concerned about unexpected behavior changes. Git has surprised me many times in the past, and terabyte-scale surprises tend to be expensive :-)
