*Welcome to the git-submod-enhancements wiki!*

As Dscho put it, submodules are the "neglected ugly duckling" of git. Time to change that ...

*Issues still to be tackled in this repo:*

* Add a config option to control when a submodule is considered dirty (in progress)
* Showing that a submodule has a HEAD not on any branch in "git status" (in progress)
* gitk: Add popup menu for submodules to see the detailed history of changes
* Check before a push in the superproject that all submodules HEADs are pushed
* Let stash work recursively on submodules
* Let checkout, checkout-index, read-tree & reset work recursively on submodules (in progress)
* Let fetch run recursively on submodules (in progress)
* git gui: Add submodule menu for adding and fetching submodules
* Better support for merging and resolving merge conflicts of submodules (Heiko Voigt is working on the merge part)
* Add means to specify which submodules shall be populated on clone
* Add an "always-tip" mode

*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
* Expected in 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
