Hello again, I guess more than half a year can be considered "some time" but, anyhow, better late than never, so here is a minimal patch implementing what I suggested. I'm not sure if using submodule_from_path() with the global the_repository is the right thing to do, it looks like there is an attempt to move away from it, but I couldn't find another reasonable way to get the config option -- using open_submodule() doesn't seem right and I don't know what else to do. If you can propose a better way to do this, please do. I also couldn't find a simple way to add a test for it, I hoped to find an existing test checking that using symlinks for submodules failed and amend it, but either no such test exists or I've failed to find it. Again, if I missed it, please point me to it. But for now I've just tested this manually, with and without the option in gitconfig file. Please let me know if you have any other comments, thanks in advance! VZ --------------------------------- >8 --------------------------------------
