problem description
at present, git has supported the cloning of some codes as follows:
-sharp
git remote add -f origin <remote_url>
-sharp spare checkout
git config core.sparsecheckout true
-sharp
echo "subdir1" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
-sharp
git pull origin master this will only send / subdir1 Synchronize from the remote library locally.
now my question is: does git submodule add, also support sparse checkout?
looked up the help and didn"t seem to see anything about it.
desired effect
A typical scenario is that there is a python common library with multiple directories, such as
common-lib/ -sharp git://reposity/common-lib.git
doc/ -sharp
src/ -sharp
common/ -sharp
test-common/ -sharp then a project yasi-project, that uses this library expects to have the following structure:
yasi-project/ -sharp yasi git://reposity/yasi-project.git
doc/ -sharp
src/ -sharp
common/ -sharp -> common-lib/src/common
yasi/ -sharp
test-yasi/ -sharp can git support the above structure?
