This change takes another step towards ensuring Git can understand repo's submodules to some extent. Replace the old '.git' symlink with gitfile[1] pointing to the bare checkout of the submodule. This is required for Git's 'recurse submodules' opts to work with repo's submodules as '.git' is expected to be writable by Git when recursing over submodules.

repo
Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact
Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.
You can file a new bug report under the "repo" component.
Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.
