Hi,
First, thanks for the great tool that is git-annex!
I have a problem with submodules when the git repository is not a submodule everywhere.
$ git-annex version
git-annex version: 4.20130802
...
$ git --version
git version 1.8.3.2
I try to have a repository has a submodule of another.
# creating the master repository
mkdir annex_master
cd annex_master/
git init
# hack: adding a file to create the master branch
touch start
git add start
git commit -m \"start\"
cd ..
# create another repository
mkdir annex_sub
cd annex_sub/
git init
# hack: adding a file to create the master branch
touch start
git add start
git commit -m \"start\"
# it is a annexed repository
git annex init sub
# add the other repository as submodule of the master one
cd ../annex_master/
git submodule add ../annex_sub/ module
cd module/
git annex init sub_module
git annex sync origin
# add an annexed file
echo test > test
git annex add
git annex sync
# go back to the origin repository
cd ../../annex_sub/
git annex sync
ls -l
This returns
test -> ../.git/modules/module/annex/objects/w8/pv/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
Actually, the file committed is correct. But the fact it points to '../.git/modules/module/...' makes the link work only if the repository is also a submodule and if this submodule is also located in the modules folder in the parent git repository.
I would expect, since this repository is not an annex:
test -> .git/annex/objects/w8/pv/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
Do you think that is possible?
Thanks.
