-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi.
My network connection at times is rather unstable, so I can experience all sort of network problems. Today I tried to clone the qemu repository, and then to update all submodules. I'm using git from a recent master (790c83 - 14 December). This is what happened: $ git submodule update --init pixman Submodule 'pixman' (git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pixman) registered for path 'pixman' Cloning into 'pixman'... fatal: Unable to look up anongit.freedesktop.org (port 9418) (Name or service not known) Clone of 'git://anongit.freedesktop.org/pixman' into submodule path 'pixman' failed $ git submodule update --init Submodule 'roms/SLOF' (git://git.qemu.org/SLOF.git) registered for path 'roms/SLOF' Submodule 'roms/ipxe' (git://git.qemu.org/ipxe.git) registered for path 'roms/ipxe' Submodule 'roms/openbios' (git://git.qemu.org/openbios.git) registered for path 'roms/openbios' Submodule 'roms/qemu-palcode' (git://repo.or.cz/qemu-palcode.git) registered for path 'roms/qemu-palcode' Submodule 'roms/seabios' (git://git.qemu.org/seabios.git/) registered for path 'roms/seabios' Submodule 'roms/sgabios' (git://git.qemu.org/sgabios.git) registered for path 'roms/sgabios' Submodule 'roms/vgabios' (git://git.qemu.org/vgabios.git/) registered for path 'roms/vgabios' fatal: unable to connect to anongit.freedesktop.org: anongit.freedesktop.org[0: 131.252.210.161]: errno=Connection timed out Unable to fetch in submodule path 'pixman' $ git submodule update --init fatal: Needed a single revision Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'pixman' The problem is easy to solve: manually remove the pixman directory; however IMHO git submodule update should not fail this way since it may confuse the user. I'm sorry for not sending a patch.
