Nested git repos in Gerrit

[Sheik Farzand]

Hi,

Can anyone give me an insight about "what is nested git repo?" How is it different from submodules?

Thanks

Where did you read about "nested git repo"? Please provide a link for context.

I think in this context a nested repo is when you would have a git repositories nested in the file system, for example:

git://myserver.com/my-repository

and then a nested repository like:

git://myserver.com/my-repository/nested

Hi Gert and David,

I have a requirement for a project. I was told to use nested git repos. One top level project and inside this top level project, i need to have multiple child repos as nested git repos.
I googled "nested git repos" below is one of the link i got from google search.

Hi David,

This is nested filesystem. I am using this type of repos in gerrit. But here even though if i create a repo inside a nested filesystem [eg : git://myserver.com/my-repository/nested]
. The top level filesystem (my-repository) is just a directory and the repo content will be present in (nested.git).

Thanks
