[gnulib 530dd174]
The `git submodule' is a very nice feature, however, there are two
issues.
. First of all, there is some user-unfriendliness: Without
installing a gnulib submodule for project `foo', just invoking the
`bootstrap' script in the `foo' directory' without any arguments
gives
./bootstrap: line 610: gnulib/gnulib-tool: No such file or directory
This looks like a bug in the script, which it isn't actually.
Maybe `bootstrap' can be improved to emit a suggestion how to
proceed.
. Writing
git submodule add -- git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git .gnulib
for a project `foo' adds 55MByte. If I have another project with
the same setup, I need 55MByte again. Not optimal, obviously.
How can I save space, for example, by referencing a separately
checked out `gnulib' repository as a submodule instead of cloning
it? Of course, the default method of `bootstrap' should be not
changed.
