git-up .git of Submodule not followed

.git of Submodule not followed

Open Erhannis opened this issue 11 years ago • 10 comments

So, I have a repo with some submodules. I wanted to use git-up in one of the submodules, but rather than a .git folder, it had a .git FILE containing a relative path to the actual .git folder (like "../../.git/modules/SomeFolder/SubmoduleName"). Git itself seems to be ok with it, but git-up complains "Not a directory". Now, if I renamed the .git file and instead made a symbolic link to the relevant git folder, git-up worked fine. It SEEMS like maybe this shouldn't be too hard to fix, just to follow the link in the .git file if it isn't a directory.

https://github.com/mojombo/grit/pull/145 :(

Maybe it's time to vendor Grit...

The grit devs recommend https://github.com/libgit2/rugged

Oh, interesting! If someone wants to take a crack at converting git-up to use rugged, that'd be incredible - I'm afraid I'm far too busy right now ;_;

+1 for this issue.

Looks like Grit is no longer maintained so a migration to libgit2/rugged is eventually necessary.
