That's hardly > cleaner... The submodule I have are the ./debian and ./debian/common directories. So, evey time I change ./debian/common (once or twice a year), the ./debian directories for all packages are updated (about 30 or so branches). For every debian release, the ./debian dir is changed, and the integration branch is updated. This is mostly automated. I change ./debian, and commit, git_rel does a cd..; git add debian, git commit -s; and I am done. After testing, I just run tag_release <package> from anywhere on my home machine, and it does the tagging and the pushing. One tag. Now, if I have 5-6 branches, I can perhaps write something up that goes to each branch, and tags the base/tip. This is another 10-12 tags. Seems more messy to me. YMMV. manoj -- "Little else matters than to write good code."
