Yesterday I was discussing this in on G+, which lead me to conclude
this is actually a bug (or, at least, a very good improvement).
When you run push --recurse-submodules=on-demand, according to the push
manpage you would expect any submodule commit missing on it's default
remote to be pushed aswell. But this only works for the submodules of
the repo you run it in, it does not work in nested submodules (hence
not being recursive at all).
I could (with my very little understanding of C) confirm this in the
source code, and the boils down to the function push_submodule on file
transport.c explicitly calling push without any params, where I would
expect it to call with --recurse-submodules=on-demand when done so on
the parent repo (and then it will actually be trully recursive).
Any thoughts?
