Subject: submodules: reuse .git/modules/... for multiple checkouts of same URL
Message-ID: <175C83AE67A6484B9A9351B9AE4D0662042809@smucm57a>

Hi,

I have a git superproject with 3 submodules. The submodules are cloned from the same URL but use different branches. Git clones the repo three times and I have three entries in .git/modules. Is it possible to reuse the first clone for the next submodule clones?

Stefan
