Hi Jens, (sorry for the dup. gmail insists on sending html)
I know I saw a few threads regarding support for moving submodules but I lost track of the discussion. At $dayjob we were discussing a potential re-org of our super-projects to introduce a bit of hierarchy to the submodules (at the moment it's fairly flat). One downside of this is the potential loss of locally committed work. There is also a cost in terms of additional fetching but we think that will be OK (fetches from local servers with smallish repos). I was just wondering where things were at with git detecting submodule moving/renaming? Will our developers be able to keep any local commits when they happen to pull in the super-project commit that moves a commit. I think some people with older clones will suffer without the newer .git/modules layout but those can be manually fixed prior to the re-org. FYI our current stock workstation install uses git version 1.7.9.5 but I'm recommending we update to 1.8.x before this re-org to pick up some of the recent submodule improvements.
