As Dscho put it, submodules are the "neglected ugly duckling" of git. Time to change that ...
-*Issues still to be tackled in this repo:*
+*Issues currently being worked on*
+* [[Recursive submodule checkout]]: teach all work tree manipulating commands to update the submodule work trees according to the commit recorded in the superproject.
* 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)
+* Teach @git fetch@ to also fetch commits for submodule not currently in the work tree into .git/modules/<name>
+* Make the @git submodule@ script run in non top-level directories too
+
+*Issues still to be tackled in this repo*

* 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
* @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.
