Keep in mind that submodule interactions may be triggered from other non-submodule commands. So "git fetch", for instance, may end up caring about whether you pass "http.*" or "credential.*" down to the submodules. I do not think "fetch" should grow submodule-specific options, so that pretty much leaves "git" options as the only place left. -Peff -- 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
