Re: Different behaviours when update externals based on the folder or subfolder selected

Hello Stefan and Ben,

thanks for both replies.
If it is documented then it is okay, it means that it is no more ambiguous.
I like the idea that I can do commit in my externals and probably also the
update part could make sense if used in the correct way.

I will let people at my company know better about the reason why it is so.

Thanks again and kind regards,

Mauro
