From df56607dff2d656043a1f77a647f97a0a6b5aec9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Kirillov Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 15:24:59 +0700 Subject: git-common-dir: make "modules/" per-working-directory directory MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Each working directory of main repository has its own working directory of submodule, and in most cases they should be checked out to different revisions. So they should be separated. It looks logical to make submodule instances in different working directories to reuse the submodule directory in the common dir of the main repository, and probably this is how "checkout --to" should initialize them called on the main repository, but they also should work fine being completely separated clones. Testfile t7410-submodule-checkout-to.sh demostrates the behavior.
