Hi,
this is a series I have been working on and off. My plan is that it
might be part of a slightly bigger series also implementing on-demand
clone of submodules into the .git/modules folder if a submodule is
configured like that.
This is needed as preparation for the final goal of automatic
checkout/deletion of submodules when they appear/disappear. My plan
is to introduce a new .gitmodules variable
submodule.<name>.init
to specify whether a submodule should be initialized (and thus cloned)
by default or not. If not configured it will default to off to stay
closed to the current behavior. If it proves useful we can maybe change
that default later to on.
That way we would get much closer to "clone/fetch and get everything you
need to work on a project".
I send this series mainly to inform people what I have been working and
to maybe get some early feedback about the approach. Let me know what
you think.
Cheers Heiko
