Submodules
==========

The dose Git report uses submodules to reference external repositories. In
particular:

    cudf/         points to the cudf Git repo of mancoosi-tools
    tests/        points to the dose-testdata Git repo of mancoosi-tools

After cloning the dose Git repo, just use the following to populate the
submodules:

    git submodule update --init

See the git submodules documentation for more usage information [1,2].

[1] http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html
[2] http://man.cx/git-submodule


Note that the submodules are configured using the public git clone URL of
external repositories (i.e. https://gforge.inria.fr/... instead of
git+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr//...). This is to allow people checking out the
dose code to easily retrieve the submodules. The drawback is that by default
you cannot push your changes via those URLs. Just add a separate git+ssh remote
and push to it.
