Re: [PATCH] allow commands to be executed in submodules

Martin Waitz, Sun, May 20, 2007 22:48:02 +0200:

Do we really have so many places where we want to execute commands
in a different directory or with different environment?  Is it worth
keeping run-command generic and having to introduce knowledge about
how to run submodule commands in multiple places?

Is there multiple places? Is it hard to create a specific function out
of a generic one? (which can be used from other places and your
specific can't and we would need the generic one anyway).

"Generic" is not about "multiple places". Generic is about "general"
as opposite to "specific". Gives you flexibility and wider application
range.
