I *think* that it would be a great benefit if "git submodule update" would leave you on a branch if (a) you were on that branch before, and (b) pulling on that branch would update it to the commit that the superproject specifies for that submodule. Or maybe there should be a "git submodule fetch" which fetches from the remote, and replaces FETCH_HEAD with the superproject's index entry, and "git submodule pull" would merge it? (With the model being that the entry in the superproject is an additional remote that you both track and publish to) -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - 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
