The usefulness of the output in the current implementation of the "summary" itself is not even proven at this point. Nobody other than you has jumped up-and-down and said "submodule summary is great and should be in status, I did not know what I was missing!" yet. I hope we verified the code well enough to make sure that people who use "git submodule" command but do not type "git submodule summary" would not get hurt by the addition. For a new feature, that is more important than how well the new feature works and how useful the new feature is. And by shipping a release with it will give it a wider exposure and hopefully a chance for it to mature to get more useful. The series just got into a "harmless to others and is releasable" shape. Recall how many rounds "submodule summary" took to get into that state, and how much time and effort were spent on it. Use it as a yardstick to guesstimate how much further effort and time will be needed to get the changes to git-status into a reasonable shape. It may happen eventually, but not before 1.5.5. -- 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
