Very nice!! I wasn't aware of that... I must be behind the times. :-P @Andrei: I think this nullifies about 50% of the naysayers' arguments against git submodules. Another issue is also that people used git submodules for things it wasn't intended for, and got burned as a result. Not really the fault of the feature. There *are* still some things to be desired, though, so it's not quite perfect yet. But it should be a lot more usable than before. T -- What are you when you run out of Monet? Baroque.
