Comment (by ken@…):
Wow, sub-modules are fun, aren't they ?
Current status (I'm not yet sure if this has really updated the
submodules!)
To pull (I had a qtwebengine tree from November, on the -dev i.e. main
branch),and then to change to origin/5.15.3
{{{
git submodule update --init
git pull --recurse-submodules
}}}
That showed that an origin/5.15.3 branch was created.
To fetch the remote branches and change to that:
{{{
git fetch origin
git checkout -b 5.15.3 origin/5.15.3
}}}
Which is as far as I've got (dated 20210224 which matches gentoo).
Using git-archive ignores the submodules, which results in a useless tiny
tarball.
Creating a combined tarball should be possible using
[https://github.com/fabacab/git-archive-all.sh/wiki] but although I've
managed to use that to create a qtwebengine.tar in the current directory
(2.0GB, it is named for the directory name) I have not managed to get that
to accept the switches it claims to accept.
Worst case I might have to create the big tarball, create an empty
versioned directory (qtwebengine.tar lacks a containing directory, and
everything is owned by root:root) untar there and recreate as .tar.xz.
I can see that the dist/changes-5.15.3 files has NOT been created, so for
the moment none the wiser about what changed.
