PowerShell Editor-Syntax

Hi,

I believe that the Editor-Syntax repository has had a few bug fixes upstream since it was copied for use in this repo. Would it make sense to have it as a git submodule, to make it easier to see which version is currently being used by this package, and easier to update this package to use the latest version?

ST package manager currently uses master for install. Can it work with submodules? If so, we should do that.

Good question - Package Control just uses GitHub's zip download feature, so I guess it depends whether submodules are included in the zip or not. I will try to investigate this, thanks.

Thank you, Keith, for taking a look at it. I was too lazy to investigate it properly. If it turns out that it doesn't, we can include a file with a commit sha and a script to auto-update it, something like that.

I have tested, and GitHub doesn't include submodules in the zip file. Your auto update script idea sounds like a good one.

Could you (hard|soft|sym)link to the file that lives in the submodule such that GitHub adds it to the zip? And make a script to convert the file (if Git thinks the link is a file) into a link to be run after clone?

Not sure is it possible or not. Currently there is no submodule because I don't know how sublime packages with submodules work.
