if combining sphinx-last-updated-by-git with nbsphinx-link there is an obvious error occuring: The external linked file is not included in git and the path is therefore invalid

[jannefleischer]

Not really an issue for sphinx-last-updated-by-git because of the out-of-scope use via nbsphinx-link, nevertheless this may be important for some users and future reference.

sphinx-last-updated-by-git and nbsphinx-link are just not compatible with each other.

Thanks for the report!

This might be a bug in nbsphinx-link: vidartf/nbsphinx-link#14

Can you please try if that takes care of your error?

My fix for nbsphinx-link has not (yet) been accepted, but there is nothing we can do here, so I'm closing this.
