Hi!
Is it possible to treat submodules as normal
directories/files?
I'm using Git not just for source code, but also for
documents and my "projects" directory (mainly an
Eclipse Workspace) in my home directory. Though Git
may not be designed for this, it is an easy way do
create a backup and sync my home directory between
my machines :-).
This works fine, except for Git repositories inside my
home (projects) directory. Is there a way, to treat
them like normal directories so I can add them via git
add?
Thank you and thanks for Git, which is just great :-).

See [1] for a similar question. Though the answer in your
case is likely to be completely different; I suspect you
might find bup[2] interesting.
Hope that helps,
