Re: how to checkout proper submodules

Hi,

I think you've to differentiate the case of merging a feature branch into the master branch and the case of merging a local with a remote branch, like just calling git pull/push on the master branch.

I just wanted to say that first forward merge loses information about which sequence of commits was a topic branch. As far as I'm concerned, I rebase my topic branch by myself before I send a pull request.

Therefore I'm using 'git pull --rebase' to prevent the creation of these merge commits.

I think this is a good practice for puller side. :-) --Kazu
