As Dscho put it, submodules are the "neglected ugly duckling" of git. Time to change that ...
-*Issues to be tackled in this repo:*
+*Issues still to be tackled in this repo:*
-* Better output of submodule diffs (Will be in git 1.6.6)
-* Adding tools to git gui and gitk for easier submodule handling (in progress)
-* Collecting hooks useful for submodules
-* Better support for merging and resolving merge conflicts of submodules
\ No newline at end of file
+* Teach @git mv@ to not only move the gitlink and the work tree but also update core.worktree and the gitfile
+* Let @am@, @bisect@, @checkout@, @checkout-index@, @cherry-pick@, @merge@, @pull@, @read-tree@, @rebase@, @reset@ & @stash@ work recursively on submodules (in progress)
+* Add functionality to move the .git directory of a submodule into the .git/modules directory of the superproject (either by adding a new @git submodule@ command or by providing a script in contrib/)
+* Add an option to @git submodule add@ to move the .git directory of a local repository to be added as submodule into the .git/modules directory of the superproject
+* Teach @grep@ the @--recursive@ option
+* Add means to specify which submodules shall be populated on clone (which I'd like to implement by teaching @git fetch@ to create submodule repos in .git/modules, recursive checkout will then do the rest)
+* 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
+* Make the @git submodule@ script run in non top-level directories too
+* @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.
+* 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*
+
+* @git fetch@ doesn't fetch referenced commits after a submodule rename
+* 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.
