Package: devscripts
Version: 2.25.19
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi,
I'm just trying to use git-modules, and it doesn't do anything. Looking
into the source code, it seems that this is handled only when making a new
clone, not when being called from a checkout.
That's probably not much of a valid use (although there is special handling
for using the current checkout otherwise), so minor severity. Having at
least a warning would be nice though.
Simon
