I'm not sure exactly what's going on here but AFAICT you are trying to
do dgit push on a branch which contains git submodule metadata - ie,
where the complete source tree depends on these other modules.
Have I understood this right ? I don't think this is going to work
without a significant amount of extra thought, and then probably lots
and lots of work.
Thinking about it, it's going to be very troublesome. dgit would need
to ensure that the submodules were available in the dgit-repos,
somehow, and decide how their branches were to be managed. Also, you
have the problem that dgit wouldn't know how to convert non-dgit-based
uploads into the submodule structure. How do you think dgit should
handle these problems ?
(I tried a dgit clone of bugs-everywhere and found it was only in
squeeze, and the clone seemed to work just fine.)
