The SYNOPSIS section of gitattibutes and gitmodule fail to clearly specify the name of the in tree files used. This patch brings in the initial `.' and the fact that the `.gitmodules' file should reside at the top-level of the working tree.

|
|
gitmodules - defining submodule properties
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
$GIT_WORK_DIR/.gitmodules
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The `.gitmodules` file, located in the top-level directory of a git
|
|
working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements
|
|
of linkgit:git-config[1].
|
|
|
|
The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection value
|
|
is the name of the submodule. Each submodule section also contains the
|
|
following required keys:
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.path::
|
|
Defines the path, relative to the top-level directory of the git
|
|
working tree, where the submodule is expected to be checked out.
|
|
The path name must not end with a `/`. All submodule paths must
|
|
be unique within the .gitmodules file.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.url::
|
|
Defines an url from where the submodule repository can be cloned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Consider the following .gitmodules file:
|
|
|
|
[submodule "libfoo"]
|
|
path = include/foo
|
|
url = git://foo.com/git/lib.git
|
|
|
|
[submodule "libbar"]
|
|
path = include/bar
|
|
url = git://bar.com/git/lib.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
This defines two submodules, `libfoo` and `libbar`. These are expected to
|
|
be checked out in the paths 'include/foo' and 'include/bar', and for both
|
|
submodules an url is specified which can be used for cloning the submodules.
