Hello everyone, There's been some informal discussion in #php.doc on EFnet about how the transition from Subversion to Git will be achieved, and what the resulting structure will look like.

We can't use submodules. Submodules in git reference a specific commit, not "last commit" like it does in svn by default. If we use git submodules in means; Every time we update doc-base, you have to update the submodule in _all_ translations to the last commit and commit the change. -Hannes

Hi Hannes, I was actually thinking of that issue, and thought that it would be a simple matter to use a client-side post-checkout hook to run "git submodules foreach git pull". That'd update each submodule. Not sure of the specifics in that regard, but I can't think of any other solution to that problem than submodules. Thanks, Justin Martin
