[PATCH v6 2/9] submodule: document failure to detect invalid submodule URLs

From
Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>
Date
May 27, 2012, 13:43 UTC
Message-ID
<1338126210-11517-3-git-send-email-jon.seymour@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<1338126210-11517-1-git-send-email-jon.seymour@gmail.com>

These tests document failures to detect submodule URLs that backtrack past the 'invariant' part of a superproject's origin URL.

For example: if the origin URL is ssh://hostname/repo, then currently if a submodule URL is specified as ../../subrepo, then git will construct a submodule url of the form ssh://subrepo/ without complaint.
