This series introduces labels which you can attach to submodules like so:
$ cat .gitmodules
[submodule "gcc"]
path = gcc
url = git://...
label = default
label = devel
[submodule "linux"]
path = linux
url = git://...
label = default
$ git submodule add --name emacs --label "editor" --label default git://...
# If upstream has submodules properly labeled, you can make use of them:
$ git config --add submodule.actionOnLabel "*default"
$ git config --add submodule.actionOnLabel ":name"
$ git config --add submodule.actionOnLabel "./by/path"
# The prefix * denotes a label as found in .gitmodules
# : goes before names
# path are prefixed ./ currently
# both path and names need work
# no --init necessary, partially initializes submodules (only those which
# were specified by label, name or path)
$ git submodule update
# time passes, upstream may have added new submodules and we get them without
# extra commands!
$ git submodule update
# The above configuration can be given to git clone directly via:
$ git clone --init-submodule=*labelA ...
# diff/status only apply to label-selected submodules
git status
New since last round:
* Renamed to submodule.actionOnLabel as it is generic enough to be applicable
for lots of commands (submodule update, status, diff, etc)
* Restructured the code to have a generic "Given these labels, would I
want to operate on this submodule", which made the implementation for
"submodule update" easier, as well as the new WIP patch for diff/status.
Any feedback would be welcome!
Thanks,
Stefan

Stefan Beller (7):
git submodule: teach `add` to label submodules
submodule-config: keep labels around
submodule-config: add method to check for being labeled
submodule init: redirect stdout to stderr
submodule update: respect submodule.actionOnLabel
clone: allow specification of submodules to be cloned
WIP status/diff: respect submodule.actionOnLabel
