Hi, I recently ran into an issue with git submodules because my clone.defaultRemoteName is not "origin": > fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository > fatal: Could not read from remote repository. > > Please make sure you have the correct access rights > and the repository exists. > fatal: Fetched in submodule path 'submodule', but it did not contain <redacted>. Direct fetching of that commit failed. This appears to be due to the builtin/submodule--helper hard coding "origin" in "repo_get_default_remote". I am unsure what the best way to fix this is. I could have the function read the clone.defaultRemoteName, or I could have it check if there is only one remote then use that.. or maybe add a new submodule remote name option? Thoughts on what the best solution is here? I'm thinking the following: 1) check if there is only one remote, then use that 2) check clone.defaultRemoteName and use that otherwise 3) fall back to origin otherwise? Perhaps we could insert a step 0 where we add a config option which will have submodule clones use the given remote name + use that as the default when in detached head state? Thanks, Jake
