+* Let am, bisect, checkout, checkout-index, cherry-pick, merge, pull, read-tree, rebase, reset & stash work recursively on submodules (in progress)
+* Teach grep the @--recursive@ option
+* Add means to specify which submodules shall be populated on clone
+* Showing that a submodule has a HEAD not on any branch in @git status@
+* @gitk@: Add popup menu for submodules to see the detailed history of changes
+* Teach @git prune@ the @--recurse-submodules@ option (and maybe honour the same default and options @git fetch@ uses)
+* Better support for displaying merge conflicts of submodules
+* @git gui@: Add submodule menu for adding and fetching submodules
+* @git status@ should call @git diff --submodule --ignore-submodules=dirty@ instead of @git submodule summary@ for providing a submodule summary when configured to do so.
+* Add an "always-tip" mode
+* Other commands that could benefit from a @--recurse-submodules@ option: archive, branch, clean, commit, revert, tag.
+* In the long run git-submodule.sh should be converted to a rather simple wrapper script around core git functionality as more and more of that is implemented in the git core.
+
+*Submodule related bugs to fix*
+
+* Cherry picking across submodule creation fails even if the cherry pick doesn't touch any file in the submodules path
+* @git submodule add@ doesn't record the url in .git/config when the submodule path doesn't exist.
+* @git rebase --continue@ won't work if the commit only contains submodule changes.
+
+*Issues already solved and merged into Junio's Repo:*
+
+* Since git 1.6.6:
+** New --submodule option to "git diff" (many thanks to Dscho for writing the core part!)
+** Display of submodule summaries instead of plain hashes in git gui and gitk
+* Since git 1.7.0:
+** "git status" and "git diff*" show submodules with untracked or modified files in their work tree as "dirty"
+** git gui: New popup menu for submodule diffs
+* Since git 1.7.1:
+** Show the reason why working directories of submodules are dirty (untracked content and/or modified content) in superproject
+* Since git 1.7.2:
+** Add parameters to the "--ignore-submodules" option for "git diff" and "git status" to control when a submodule is considered dirty
+* Since git 1.7.3:
+** Add the "ignore" config option for the default behaviour of "git diff" and "git status". Both .git/config and .gitmodules are parsed for this option, the value set in .git/config. will override that from .gitmodules
+** Add a global config option to control when a submodule is considered dirty (written by Dscho)
+** Better support for merging of submodules (thanks to Heiko Voigt for writing that)
+* Since git 1.7.4:
+** Recursive fetching of submodules can be enabled via command line option or configuration.
+* Since git 1.7.5:
+** fetch runs recursively on submodules by default when new commits have been recorded for them in the superproject
+* Since git 1.7.7:
+** git push learned the --recurse-submodules=check option which errors out when trying to push a superproject commit where the submodule changes are not pushed (part of Frederik Gustafsson's 2011 GSoC project)
+* Since git 1.7.8:
+** The "update" option learned the value "none" which disables "submodule init" and "submodule update"
+** The git directory of a newly cloned submodule is stored in the .git directory of the superproject, the submodules work tree contains only a gitfile. This is the first step towards recursive checkout, as it enables us to remove a submodule directory (part of Frederik Gustafsson's 2011 GSoC project)
