Open Stack

Hi,

Really sorry, but I don't understand why using some specific oslo sync util
is simpler then git submodules?)

I mean this two things are almost the same but:
In case of oslo we are copy-pasting code
In case of submodules we are bumping commit hashs

So why submodules are terrible and oslo-sync is good?=)
Where is so big difference, and could somebody explain me? (I mean real use
cases from life where oslo sync is good and submodules are bad)
Thanks.



Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
