Multiple Git repos into source/ with subdir

[linuxmail]

Hi,

I have a project, which inherits five other Git repos, which is checked out to source/ . I have now idea to get it working with the latest JDG.

For Example:

• Git 1 source/foo/
• Git 2 source/foo/bla
• Git 3 source/foo/foobar
• Git 4 source/debian

How I have to configure the plugin, to get "/usr/bin/generate-git-snapshot" working ?

i had the same too with olsr project, main source lying on github, debian catalog with older upstream source lying on salsa.debian.org - wanted to use them both to build the package but while studying google how this is acomplished, i learned that this is bad practice, so its better to get everything together in one git repository which then is used for building.
so i forked the salsa.debian.org repo, pushed upstream changes to it, added new version tag, now building from my forked repo.
