My knee-jerk reaction would be "subtree would break submodules badly, don't use it" ;-). After all, I invented subtree merge as an ugly interim workaround before submodule subsystem got into a usable shape, hoping that new projects can use submodules without resorting to subtree merges. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
