If I remember correctly Coreutils has instructions on how to update Gnulib in README-hacking. I always use that since I never use git submodules. Not sure if it mentions ./bootstrap --bootstrap-sync though.

I will try to remember > that the --bootstrap-sync option exists! That most likely works fine too. The build-aux/bootstrap script is autogenerated from some files in top/* in Gnulib's Makefile. Packages can copy all of the files from top/* into their sources or alternatively just the single build-aux/bootstrap script. The --bootstrap-sync option should work correctly in either of those cases so I suppose there is less work if you decide to reorganize things. Collin
