Bug#773014: git-buildpackage: please support git submodules

2014-12-13 Thread Ian Campbell 
Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.22
Severity: wishlist

The grub packaging git tree[0] uses a git submodule for the debian/grub-extras
directory. However git-buildpackage is unaware of this and ignores it, the
.debian.tar.xz ends up containing the directory itself but not its contents.

It would be really useful if gbp could support this scenario.

Thanks,
Ian.

 Check the --git-submodules option.

Thanks, I must have searched the wrong manpage or typo-ed something,
because I can't explain how I missed it otherwise!

Ian.
