SourceTree: Updating submodules when pulling from a repository

Andreas Tietz

When pulling from a repository containing a newly added submodule, the submodule subdirectory is empty. SourceTree neither updates the submodule contents upon pulling nor do I know how to update manually afterwards from within SourceTree. Currently I'm doing it with "git submodule init" and "git submodule update" on the command line. Is there a way for achieving this from inside SourceTree?

Hmm, yes this should be happening automatically but it's not, I'll look into it. It definitely works when cloning, and when you change the tracking options, but it seems pulling a new submodule needs some extra handling.

FYI this is now fixed for 1.3.2, and I also made SourceTree deal with uninitialised submodules from other sources better too (you can just double-click on an uninitialised submodule and it will update it automatically before opening it).

Thanks for your quick reply and fix. Looking forward to working with the new release!

I personally would like a way to manually update a submodule. I can't rely on automatic sometimes as a project is sensitive to another sub project's current code base.
