Handle submodules?

[Esya]

Hi!

How would you handle submodules then? I have submodules in my project, but on the server in the receive script I cannot checkout the submodules as this is a front-end server and should not have access to our git repositories.

Any idea on how to manage this?

The receive script has to be able to access the submodules. There's sadly no way around this for submodules.

Just in case anyone has the same issue, I did this in my receiver, after unpacking

echo "----> Getting submodules"
rm -fr .git
unset GIT_DIR
git init .

git config -f .gitmodules --get-regexp '^submodule\..*\.path$' |
    while read path_key path
    do
        rm -fr $path
        url_key=`echo $path_key | sed 's/\.path/.url/'`
        url=`git config -f .gitmodules --get "$url_key"`
        #$3 is the username
        git submodule add $3@$url $path
    done

Can you put this on the wiki and then link it in the readme?

Of course although it seems like there is no wiki for the project
