Strictly speaking, this patch should add the 'on-demand' value to the first patch's --submodule-default option. Perhaps I'm being a bit too uptight though... > Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@xxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/fetch-options.txt | 16 +++++++-- > Documentation/git-pull.txt | 2 +- > builtin/fetch.c | 22 ++++++++++-- > git-pull.sh | 3 ++ > submodule.c | 8 +++- > submodule.h | 2 +- > t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 7 files changed, 114 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/fetch-options.txt b/Documentation/fetch-options.txt > index ae22f75..f28c0b1 100644 > --- a/Documentation/fetch-options.txt > +++ b/Documentation/fetch-options.txt > @@ -65,9 +65,19 @@ ifndef::git-pull[] > specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.

Nit: Replace that last sentence with Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a submodule when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's reference. Also, this has to change again with patch 5 (Don't recurse into a submodule when commits are already present).
