This repository uses submodules and I need to\ninclude the submodlule's source code in the archives too. However,\ngit-archive does not have any option to do so.\n\nI've taken a quick look at the GMANE mailing list archives and it\nseems this provoked quite a discussion in 2009 and that Lars Hjemli\neven wrote a patch (in several flavors) for archive.c to include\nsubmodule-aware processing. The lastest source code at\n`git.kernel.org` does not contain any traces of this patch (or\nsubmodule aware logic for that matter). The mailing list archives are\nnot very convenient to browse and I can't figure out what the status\non this submodule-aware git-archive idea is. Has this idea been\ncompletely rejected, or is it still work in progress?\n\nIn case you're wondering, I don't seem to be the only one needing to\ndo this. I found at least two scripts on GitHub that implement this\nlogic with various levels of accuracy/completeness[1][2] and I've\nhacked an icky Windows batch file version [3] for minimal Windows\nsupport until this feature can be implemented in Git itself. I don't\nmind putting in some time into a real patch if I need to, but I'm\ncurious about the fact that this has been requested before, a patch\nwas proposed and yet this is still not merged 4 years later.\n\nSo, what's the status on a submodule-aware git-archive command?\n\nThanks,\nAndré\n\n[1]: https://github.com/meitar/git-archive-all.sh\n[2]: https://github.com/Kentzo/git-archive-all\n[3]: https://github.com/AndreLouisCaron/git-archive-all.bat\n"},{"id":"189742","messageId":"4F911A2C.4070306@web.de","threadId":"30289","inReplyTo":"CALKBF2gwVr0rPn0y8=cvwqOsUb7eQPH7EdK5U+gfZMzh=RpiKw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: git-archive and submodules","fromName":"Jens Lehmann","fromEmail":"jens.lehmann@web.de","sentAt":"2012-04-20T08:11:24Z","receivedAt":"2012-04-20T08:11:24Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jens.lehmann@web.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/135220?v=4"},"body":"Am 19.04.2012 22:10, schrieb André Caron:\n> Hi,\n> \n> I've recently needed to create a source code archive as part of a\n> custom build target.
