vcsh-modules filepath ignored by git

[Marko Rakamaric]

I have jessie, and archlinux distros. Issue started to happen few days ago when I was trying to
initiate submodules in my vcsh local branch on archlinux. Git is not using aynmore
gitmodules.d/repo for module file path
and always uses ~/.gitmodules

As a difference I can show you using GIT_TRACE on both systems

Archlinux: (v2.7.0)

As we can see in archlinux there is few diff in output. Executing on archlinux within repo,
git config -f .gitmodules.d/zsh 'submodule..zsh/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting.update'
doesn't help.

My point here is that I am not able to use vcsh-modules anymore! Aynone know what is going on here?

Hi,

is this still open? If yes, what vcsh version are you using, any other Git versions which are affected/unaffected?

[Marko Rakamaric]

It's fixed! Details can be found here: lierdakil/vcsh-modules#5!
