Submodule using different repository URLs

Hi,

I want to use the git submodule feature to move part of my code to a different repository at github.

The issue is that developers should use different repository URLs for the submodule depending on whether they have commit rights or not.

At the beginning I was using the public URL to set-up the submodule: git submodule add git://github.com/x/mymodule.git mymodule

The issue is that some developers are working behind a firewall that blocks the git protocol. These could only use the git@github.com:x/ mymodule.git URL to get access. But other developers can only go through the public URL git:// github.com/x/mymodule.git. So whatever I use it won't work for everybody.

What's the best way to deal with that? Could I set-up different repository URLs for one and the same submodule and use which one is appropriate?

Thanks, --Peter
