Subject: Submodule using different repository URLs
Message-ID: <5BE6F3DC-4B00-4D84-8D0E-41057735483F@petervoss.org>

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
