Agreed. The problem is that git submodule update does not only fetches the new refs but *also* checks out the commit currently registered in the superproject. Therefore git-submodule status *and* git-submodule summary cannot tell you anything after a git-submodule update. What I was missing is, given the current discussion, a git-submodule fetch alike to what Avery was proposing, which fetches all submodules in one command. Having to do the fetch/update manually for each submodule is really cumbersome -- I have around 30 modules in the superproject.
