Hi All,

I need a help in order to parse the .gitmodules file generated on "git-submodule add". An entry for a submodule in that file looks like:

    [submodule "a"]
            path = a
            url = /home/imyousuf/projects/git-projs/smart-sip/submodules/a/.git

I want to parse this file to know the location of my module so that when I got git-commit on the parent project my script will also traverse the submodule hierarchy. I wanted to know whether path = a noted the relative path from the current directory or not.

Thanks in advance,
