[Mageia-dev] git 1.7.9 submodule support broken

[Mika Laitio]

Hi

I encountared major bug in 1.7.9's submodule handling that caused at
least for me a problems with projects having submodules.

I asked from git irc list and got reply that it was a known annoying bug
that was fixed in newer git versions. I rebuilded and tested the 1.7.10
and the submodules were working with that version ok again.
(patched mageia's git src.rpm to build 1.7.10-rc4...)

Is there any changes to get git updated to 1.7.10 before the release?
I opened a bug for this one:
