Why does it make it more useful? With latest coreutils/gnulib, git diff now gives the following (I'm probably doing something wrong as I know little about submodules) diff --git a/.gitmodules b/.gitmodules index bb9e1ba..5a4e3d5 100644 --- a/.gitmodules +++ b/.gitmodules @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ [submodule "gnulib"] path = gnulib - url = git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git + url = /home/padraig/git/gnulib cheers, Pádraig.
