Subject: Question - .git subdirectories
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:26:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABf25VhaqrbtRTpL5ZNRy59o4JSsiKpF3pk3+54sDCkvzdgAmw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello. I'm not sure it's correctly to write to this email address.
Sorry if it doesn't.
Copy of my home directory stores on external disk under git control. I
have devel/ directory that contains some of my old projects with git
repositories. But main git repository in root of disk is not tracking
and storing their contents. I don't want to use submodules or crutches
such as renaming all .git/ in subdirectories. I just want that git
treats my .git/ subdirs as plain dirs with any other names.
It was already described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2317652/nested-git-repositories-without-submodules.
It's very simple functionality but I can't find any simple and right solution.
I just want to know is this possible or not? If not possible, then why?
Thank you in advance.
