Hi Alex,

I have not tested this, but read this mail. Just to make sure: It's wanted (but annoying) behavior, that a submodule always points to a commit hash and not to a branch. So it's a common and wanted (but annoying) situation, that submodules fall in a detached head state. To avoid this, I'd recommend using pre-commit hook, to stop a commit, if there is not branch checked out. Otherwise the Oxygen Git Client would work diffently than the Git CLI client. This may lead to unexpected results. However Oxygen should warn, that the head is detached and ask the user to pick a branch, because that's what he always wants. But Oxygen should not checkout a random branch, because that would also lead to unexpected results. If something else is meant here, please excuse to make you read this text.

Cheers,
Stefan

Those of you that are using Git might be interested to know that
there is a new Git plugin for Oxygen [1].

I installed version 1.1.6, thank you.

I have an oXygen project that has a Git repository with a submodule,
where the submodule has work done in it that has been committed and
pushed fairly often but the parent project hasn't been touched for a while.

By some combination of events, when I configured the Git plugin to use
the Git repository, the submodule was switched to '(no branch)' and with
contents seemingly corresponding to the last time that the parent
project was committed.

Quite apart from the confusion that this caused, it also lost some
changes in the submodule that had not yet been committed.

Regards,


Tony Graham.
