This would take us a *long* way towards usability (of > course, in addition to adding the missing features, as you mention). And that is exactly what I am currently doing: - I already teached diff and status to always recurse (and just sent a patch to add a config option for that behavior, as some users either can't pay the performance costs or don't want to see submodules show up as modified just because they contain untracked files). - I posted a WIP patch doing recursive checkouts (that is basically working but I still have to put in the safety checks so that no modifications to submodules are accidentally discarded unless -f is used). - I am working on a recursive fetch too. And then there is other stuff on my list to be tackled; I try to fix these issues so that the most annoying problems get solved first. Unfortunately that does not proceed as fast as i wished, but hopefully I can show some progress in the near future. Of course any help would greatly be appreciated ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
