"How to Develop" instruction no longer work with git ≥ 1.7.8

Post by o11c »

I was initially made aware of this in a PM, then did some research.

client-data/.git is no longer a directory, but a file containing a reference to a directory.

For details, see "When populating a new submodule directory" in https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/D ... /1.7.8.txt

Really busy right now, but it would be easy to create the new instructions for the .git/modules/ file, and either tell the user "if that fails" or use a compound command with test -f or test -d
