Update org submodule to reflect new repo about emacs-starter-kit HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for pointing this out, I've just pushed up a fix for this issue.

from emacs-starter-kit.

Still getting a similar error as of 9:30 PM

hmm, it looks like you don't have the latest value of .gitmodules, maybe you will need to re-run git submodule init to re-read the .gitmodules file. Here's what I get when I run git submodule update in my repository.

~/emacs $ git submodule update
Submodule path 'src/org': checked out 'ca0e61d7848e7ec1f49f2076e4a120c3e7722147'
~/emacs $ cat .gitmodules
[submodule "src/org"]
        path = src/org
        url = http://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
[submodule "src/magit"]
        path = src/magit
        url = http://github.com/philjackson/magit.git
[submodule "snippets/text-mode/org-mode"]
        path = snippets/text-mode/org-mode
        url = http://github.com/eschulte/yasnippet-org-mode.git
[submodule "src/auctex"]
        path = src/auctex
        url = http://github.com/eschulte/auctex.git

OK. I'm not sure what's going on.

1. I cloned into a new directory.
2. I issued rm -r .git* in my ~/.emacs.d directory.
3. I rsync'd the new clone to my ~/.emacs.d (which copied the fresh git index and .gitmodules)
4. (working directory now ~/.emacs.d) Issued git submodule init and observe the expected output.
5. Issued git submodule update and get the same error again.

How do I start over without losing my local files? Am I doing something wrong?

Ok, I just tried a fresh clone of the repository on my local machine into a new directory and both git submodule init as well as git submodule update worked without problem (although the checkout of org-mode did take a long time.

I have a couple of questions.

what are the contents of your .gitmodules file?

can you clone the org-mode repository directly as it's own repository i.e. not as a submodule?

To answer your first question:

[submodule "src/auctex"]

[submodule "src/zenburn-emacs"]

And as for cloning org-mode by itself, I can do that. Playing around, I issued rm -r .git* in the src/org directory. That broke updating further. So, I cloned a new repo, issued git submodule init and git submodule update in the new clone, then rsync'd the files into ~/.emacs.d/ and everything seems in order now.

I'm happy everything worked out.

I am still confused as to how/why your install is still trying to use the http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode.git url for the org-mode repository. That url is no longer in your .gitmodules file, and should not exist anywhere in your fresh checkout.

Also, I would be very careful with commands like rm -rf .git and only use them if you have backed up your repository separately. Generally such a drastic step should not be required, generally stepping into a new branch should be a sufficient change to "start fresh".

Thanks for the tips, Eric. One last question: what if the master branch is dirty? How do I start over in that branch?

So far, I've only been making branches when I make changes, and I've been locally ignoring files that aren't part of the master branch. I found sitting in a "local" branch instead of master a bit tedious when it came to updating.

I found this git book to be very useful http://progit.org/book/
