From 619acfc78c526bc9df17b7704e60d0512ab7a84c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Beller Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2016 12:37:24 -0700 Subject: submodule add: extend force flag to add existing repos Currently the force flag in `git submodule add` takes care of possibly ignored files or when a name collision occurs. However there is another situation where submodule add comes in handy: When you already have a gitlink recorded, but no configuration was done (i.e. no .gitmodules file nor any entry in .git/config) and you want to generate these config entries. For this situation allow `git submodule add` to proceed if there is already a submodule at the given path in the index.
