I strongly support this feature, and many thanks for preparing the patch. It applies cleanly to master.

The way I would prefer to use this is when the top level is *not* a git repo - i.e. ~/.password-store is just a shell directory, and inside this are separate git checkouts (or symlinks to the git checkouts, which is how I'm testing this now). I'm just trying to avoid the complexity of another (unwarranted) git repo with .gitmodule cruft in it, and unnecessary commits.

I realise the following isn't going to work:

    pass git submodule add [email protected]:project/passdb.git Project

but I am quite happy to do:

cd ~/.password-store; git clone [email protected]:project/passdb.git Project

or:

    cd ~/.password-store; ln -s ../git/passdb Project

Quick testing shows:

- the functionality of reading passwords is fine:

pass   # lists all passwords

pass foo   # lists all passwords under foo only

pass foo/bar   # lists all passwords under foo/bar only

pass -c foo/bar/baz   # gets the password to clipboard

- "pass git pull" fails because the top level is not a git repo. That's fine (although ideally it would recurse and git pull each repo)

I guess that's my fault for not having a top-level repo, which would let me do: pass git submodule foreach "git pull"

- "pass git pull foo" fails with the same error (ideally it would cd into foo and "git pull")


Finally, if this is committed, will similar changes need to be made to qtpass? Or does qtpass just invoke the 'pass' script under the hood?

Regards,

Brian.
