Hi,

I'm working on a custom theme which is using a bunch of external css and js libraries, and I thought I'd try using git submodules for adding them into the theme because it makes updating really easy...

After adding the theme to my feature server and creating an initial release tag, I tried to package it using drush fserver-package. This works mostly (apart from #1181972: Warnings and errors when running drush fserver-package), but unfortunately only my theme files are put into the resulting tarball; all folders for external libraries remain empty -- content from git submodule repositories is not added to the tarball.

So my request is to support git submodules; i.e. check them out when drush fserver-package is run and include them in the tarball that is created.

I know there's probably other issues taking priority, and I just wanted to add this to the queue anyway because I'm guessing this might become more important with more people getting used to using git for drupal development...

Regards
Ben

patches are welcome :)
I dont think to many people will work on this, because you can cover that issues very easily with the fserver itself, by creating projects for those extern libs or using makefiles :)

Anyway, if you want this to happen iam pretty sure you have to get the work done, but maybe iam wrong :)

Well then, definitely not critical at the moment.
