If you have a lock file, there's no problem. I was arguing about what happens when there isn't a lock file.

I may have inferred something that wasn't in the original comment, by reading too many of the other comments on this page.




Sort but given that we're relying on git mostly, what are the advantages of lock files over submodules/subtrees ?


Well, that would lock all of the projects into git. What if some libraries are in git, and others are in mercurial and darcs?

I think it’s better to have a package manager that’s not reliant on a particular source control system.
