Because, if so, that's not possible with git. Branches are just nicknames for particular commits. They can come and go pretty much as they please without disrupting other things. Submodules reference a _commit_ and the commits remain in the repository regardless of what happens to the branches.
Then what does 'git gc' do?
Good point. I forgot about this. So, in general, the referenced submodule needs to include the commit in _some_ branch for the superproject to definitely reference a valid commit. However, I think the discussion was about a commit already merged to the submodule's master branch, so gc won't touch it. Alex -- Swish - Easy SFTP for Windows Explorer (http://www.swish-sftp.org)
