[TYPO3-dev] local git mirror og TYPO3 core & submodules

[Lieuwe Hummel]

Hi list,

In the past months we've migrated our projects from SVN to Git as the 
SCM tool. In this process, I encountered that cloning the typo3 core 
takes a while. For this, I had the idea to have a local mirror for 
internal usage. Advantages/goals to achieve:
  - Somewhat faster cloning
  - Lower load on the git.typo3.org server
  - increased security due to more restrictive firewalls

I managed to setup a local mirror for the TYPO3 core, which we can 
clone. The issue I am encountering is this: the submodules in the core 
are still pointing to git.typo3.org, thus the advantage of this setup is 
marginal while adding more maintenance.

Is there a solution to have the submodules mirrored as well? Or is there 
a workaround or best practice for this? Or should we just ignore the 
case and keep cloning from git.typo3.org?

(NB: not sure where to post this.... Hope this list fits)
