For the hypothetical (planned?) future '--recurse-submodules' option to git-diff family, git-ls-tree and git-ls-files, git-fetch and git-push (but I think not git-pull), perhaps git-log (besides what it supports by the way of git-diff-tree), maybe even git-status and git-commit. Gitweb support is a special case of git-ls-tree support, of sorts. BTW I think this would need complementing "lightweight checkout" support, i.e. core.gitdir (overrideable by GIT_DIR and --git-dir) and perhaps core.objectdir (overridable by GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) in the subproject config itself. -- Jakub Narebski Poland - 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
