Subject: git submodule update strange output behavior.
Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 19:20:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200109192040.46aaa01e@hikaru> (raw)
In a project containing submodules, one of the submodules
contains a submodule itself, which in turn also contains
a submodule.
Overview:
project/foobar [submodule]
project/cwm4 [submodule]
project/evio [submodule]
project/evio/protocol/matrixssl [submodule]
project/evio/protocol/matrixssl/cwm4 [submodule]
('protocol' is a normal subdirectory)
Running (with or without the --quiet),
$ git submodule --quiet update --init --recursive --remote
Fetching submodule protocol/matrixssl
Fetching submodule protocol/matrixssl/cwm4
Fetching submodule cwm4
This is odd (a bug imho) because
1) it seems to only print this fetching information for submodules inside submodules,
not for the top-level submodules.
2) it even prints this when using --quiet
3) it prints this every time (also when there is nothing more to fetch).
