First of all, I think the behavior with this patch is already much better than the previous status quo. I'm using the patch now and am very happy with it. Second, what if we store the pathname in config? We already store the URL there: [submodule "plugins/hooks"] url = https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/hooks So we could (as a followup patch) do something like [submodule "plugins/hooks"] url = https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/hooks gitdirname = plugins%2fhooks and use that for lookups instead of regenerating the directory name. What do you think? Thanks, Jonathan
