+1 from me. I only use it for `get` command after changing branches, and I think I can just as easily do same thing with `git submodule update --checkout`. (is that right?) 2015-07-21 6:45 GMT-04:00 Thomas Miedema :

Hello ghc-devs,

I would like to delete the file sync-all from the GHC repository. It should not have been necessary to use it for about a year now.

To get the sources:

git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git cd ghc git clone git://git.haskell.org/ghc-tarballs.git # Windows only

To update an existing tree: git pull --rebase

git submodule update --init

To update an existing tree, without the possibility to forget to run `git submodule update --init`: git config --global alias.pullall '!f(){ git pull --ff-only "$@" && git submodule update --init --recursive; }; f' # Run once git pullall --rebase

Please speak up if you want those 1000 lines of buggy Perl a.k.a. sync-all to stay for some reason, or if you have questions about a certain git submodules workflow.

The source code (./boot no longer suggests it) and the wiki are already sync-all free, except for a few historical pages.

Discussion period: 1 month.

Thomas
