Maybe worth reporting to the git list as an enhancement request to 'git grep' to search the textual representation of submodules? At any rate, 'git log -p gnulib' will show you that commit id. >> >> How do I configure 'bootstrap' to use my (possibly modified) gnulib sources >> instead of a particular commit?

You don't even have to make a commit. It is sufficient to do: cd coreutils git syncsub git add gnulib ./bootstrap && ./configure && make check and, if the results are to your liking, finally do the 'git commit'. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
