Re: [PATCH 0/2] [git-gui] "Open existing repository" with submodules

Remi Rampin [off-list ref] writes:

I'm resubmitting this patch series, hopefully someone takes notice
this time.

The GUI cannot currently open a submodule because it fails to recognize
the git link file (regular .git file with content "gitdir: ...").

Previous thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/263199

I'm really not sure if/how git-gui is maintained but I do hope somebody
cares about this component, that is still AFAIK distributed with Git.

 Fixes chooser not accepting gitfiles
 Makes chooser set 'gitdir' to the resolved path

Thanks. I've applied these onto git-gui's upstream repository with minor
changes to the commit comment to clarify where this becomes useful.
