Oops, I read too quickly. Sorry. > So this is for projects that do not have a git submodule. There is no > requirement to use git submodules for bootstrap or gnulib-tool, is > there? Correct. We don't want to force 'git submodule' into everyone's throat. By the way, the cases of with / without submodules are treated symmetrically (transparently) in gitsub.sh (gnulib/top/gitsub.sh). I've switched to using this helper script in my projects, so that I don't need to remember whether I need to use submodule commands or not. The comments in this script also discuss the advantages vs. drawbacks of using gnulib as a git submodule. Bruno
