Branches

- master: Development (default)
- hooks: Local commit hooks (place in .git/hooks)
Release branches converted from CVS have been artificially merged into master. Actual releases have tags named by the release version number.
Submodules
ParaView references a few other projects as submodules. They can be obtained using the git submodule command. First use the 'init' subcommand to register the submodules:
$ git submodule init
This configures the submodules to fetch from their default URLs, such as git://vtk.org/VTK.git for VTK.
Next one may optionally configure a different URL, perhaps to use the http protocol:
$ git config submodule.VTK.url http://vtk.org/VTK.git
(and similarly for other submodules if necessary). Finally, use the 'update' subcommand to get the submodules:
$ git submodule update
Whenever you update your work tree to some revision of ParaView then 'git status' may report that the submodule directories are modified. This is because commands like 'git checkout' do not automatically update submodules. Use 'git submodule update' at any time to ensure that the submodule directories are updated to the versions referenced by the parent project.
