git clone does not complain if a trailing '/' is included in the origin URL, but doing so causes resolution of a submodule's URL relative to the superproject to fail. Trailing /'s are likely when cloning locally using tab-completion, so the slash may appear in either superproject or submodule URL. So, ignore the trailing slash if it already exists in the superproject's URL, and don't record one for the submodule (which could itself have submodules...). The problem I'm trying to fix is that a number of folks have superprojects checked out where the recorded origin URL has a trailing /, and a submodule has its origin in a directory sitting right next to the superproject on the server. Thus, we have: superproject url = server:/public/super submodoule url = server:/public/sub1 However, in the checked out superproject's .git/config [remote "origin"] url = server:/public/super/ and for similar reasons, the submodule has its URL recorded in .gitmodules as [submodule "sub"] path = submodule1 url = ../sub1/ resolve_relative_url gets the submodule's recorded url as $1, which the caller retrieved from .gitmodules, and retrieves the superprojects origin from .git/config. So in this case resolve_relative_url has that: url = ../sub1/ remoteurl = server:/public/super/ So, without any patch, resolve_relative_url computes the submodule's URL as: server:/public/super/sub1/ rather than server:/public/sub1 In summary, it is essential that resolve_relative_url strip the trailing / from the superproject's url before starting, and beneficial if it assures that the result does not contain a trailing / as the submodule may itself also be a superproject.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
