Title Body

I use git (TortoiseGit 1.7.5.0) and have a repo with submodules, which are referenced via absolute paths in a manner: [submodule "common/sub"] path = common/sub url = ssh://localhost/lib/common/sub While the super-repo is cloned as ssh://user@localhost/super , the username shouldn't go into each submodule url, because different users should work with the code using their own credentials. When pulling/pushing submodules I had to enter my login (the password is not needed because I'm running Pageant): the username isn't passed to TortoisePlink via command line. Surfing the Web, I found several posts mentioning relative urls for submodules , but apparently such approach doesn't work well with TortoiseGit: I tried several formats - the program often crashes. Anyway I succeeded with the format like: [submodule "common/sub"] path = common/sub url = ../common/sub The file .git/config is populated with the proper absolute urls, but after that TortoiseGit just crashes... I've reviewed other options including: use gitolite (as proposed here ) or sdorra (as proposed here ), but this looks like an overcomplicated solution. follow subtree merge strategy (as proposed here ). It looks like a nice approach. One of the working workarounds is to initialize the submodule with a "non-standard" URL as explained at the end of <a href="http://longair.net/blog/2010/06/02/git-submodules-explained/"
