In module_clone() the rel_gitdir variable was computed differently when "git rev-parse --git-dir" returned a relative path than when it returned an absolute path. This is not optimal, as different code paths are used depending on the return value of that command. Fix that by reusing the differing path components computed for setting the core.worktree config setting, which leaves a single code path for setting both instead of having three and makes the code much shorter. This also fixes the bug that in the computation of how many directories have to be traversed up to hit the root directory of the submodule the name of the submodule was used where the path should have been used. This lead to problems after renaming submodules into another directory level. Even though the "(cd $somewhere && pwd)" approach breaks the flexibility of symlinks, that is no issue here as we have to have one relative path pointing from the work tree to the gitdir and another pointing back, which will never work anyway when a symlink along one of those paths is changed because the directory it points to was moved. Also add a test moving a submodule into a deeper directory to catch any future breakage here and to document what has to be done when a submodule needs to be moved until git mv learns to do that. Simply moving it to the new location doesn't work, as the core.worktree and possibly the gitfile setting too will be wrong. So it has to be removed from filesystem and index, then the new location has to be added into the index and the .gitmodules file has to be updated. After that a git submodule update will check out the submodule at the new location. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"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/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
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.
