[PATCH 5/7] git mv: Support moving submodules

From
Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
Date
Jul 16, 2008, 19:11 UTC
Message-ID
<20080716191129.19772.41903.stgit@localhost>
In-Reply-To
<20080716190753.19772.93357.stgit@localhost>

This patch adds support for moving submodules to 'git mv', including rewriting of the .gitmodules file to reflect the movement.

The usage of struct path_list here is a bit abusive, but keeps the code simple and hopefully still reasonably readable. The horrid index_path_src_sha1 hack is unfortunately much worse, however the author is currently unaware of any more reasonable solution of the problem.
