Last time this was raised the conclusion was that there must be a handful of people on the planet knowing how to use git submodules in the right[tm] way, so using them on a project with as many developers as OpenStack would be a recipe for failure and raising the bar to contributing. For one person who understands and uses them correcly, you'd have ten that don't. Since today we have about 5 times as many contributors as we had last time this was brought up, I'm not sure the demographics of the project play in favor of that option. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
