Ask HN: Why Are Git Submodules So Bad?
26 by ghoward | 15 comments on Hacker News.
I have been a git user for a long time, but I've never used Subversion or any other VCS more than a little. I also hardly use Git submodules, but when I do, I don't struggle. Yet people talk about Git submodules as though they are really hard. I presume I'm just not using them as much as other people, or that my use case for them happens to be on their happy path. So why are Git submodules so bad?
