Hi Marc,
are there any plans to support branches in submodules for 18.2?
Greetings,
Shina
No, it's not planned for 18.2.
It would help in managing flows using many submodules.
Example:
- the submodule is branched off to support a new hardware platform XYZ
- the parent repository should now also branch off a branch XYZ (named like in the submodule) and then link to the submodule of branch XYZ.
The mentioned proposal could help in such a flow, if the submodule is fleshly added to the parent and a user want to jump directly to branch XYZ for the new variation.
This option will be present in upcoming version 22.1 Preview.
