Oops, hit "send" too early. We have support for a "gitdir:" facility that would work even on a filesystem that cannot do symlinks (see gitrepository-layout(5)), and both the higher-level submodule Porcelain and the more recent "worktree" experimental code do use it. -- 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
