FWIW we could alternatively update the submodules manually, but we'd have list them explicitly, IOW: $ git clone qemu ... $ cd qemu.git $ scripts/git-submodule.sh ui/keycodemapdb dtc slirp
We could avoid hardcoding the names of the submodules by using something along the lines of $ ./scripts/git-submodule.sh update $(git submodule | awk '{print $2}' | grep -Ev '^(meson|roms/.*|tests/.*)$') A bit of a mouthful, but should be solid enough.
$ mkdir build && cd build $ ../configure ... --with-git-submodules=ignore
Using --with-git-submodules=validate would work too, since we'd have updated the submodules beforehand. I think I would prefer this approach to changing the git configuration for the root user. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
