From: Stefan Beller Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 23:34:25 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/4] submodule: fix recursive path printing from non root directory Message-ID: <1458862468-12460-2-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> In-Reply-To: <1458862468-12460-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com> Recursing into submodules currently works by just calling (cd $submodule && eval ) for update, sync and status command. Say you have the following setup repo/ # a superproject repository repo/untracked/ # an untracked dir in repo/ repo/sub/ # a submodule repo/sub/subsub # a submodule of a submodule When being in repo/untracked/ and invoking "git submodule status" you would expect output like: repo/untracked/$ git submodule status --recursive ../sub (version) ../sub/subsub () We need to take into account that we are in the untracked/ dir, so we need to prepend ../ to the paths. By using relative_path to compute the prefix, we'll have that output.
