From 47dc5d5fda291bc399da54648ca27e8df4ddfd2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:41:55 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] gitmodules.5: url can be a relative path There is already excellent documentation for this facility in git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable. Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the same repository over multiple protocols, for example. Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.
