Svn externals and git submodules

Testing RSpec
1

This is a request to split up the repository into at least two
repositories

rspec
rspec_core (loaded as svn_external or git submodule)
rspec_on_rails (loaded as svn_external or git submodule)

We could load the plugins the same way as before
ruby script/plugin install
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rspec_core
ruby script/plugin install
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rspec_on_rails

but it would be easier to install from git using git submodules

using git and calling from RAILS_ROOT

git submodule add git//github.com/dchelimsky/rspec_on_rails.git
vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails
git submodule add git//github.com/dchelimsky/rspec_core.git
vendor/plugins/rspec

I forwarded this to

future feature requests there instead of this mailing list.

Wow, a short command line to type, putting that into my brain will
push out of the stack my 3 years old memories…

Wouldn’t be better submit some patches to Rails and make script/plugin
Git-aware?

rails/plugin is git aware already in trunk for cloning a git repository.
However, you can only clone from the git repository root (the directory
which contains the .git directory). You can’t clone from a
subdirectory.
That’s why the project needs to be split to install both rspec and
rspec_on_rails in the vendor/plugins directory using git.
