Re: [PATCH v4] submodule: allow tracking of the newest revision of a branch in a submodule

Hi,

Submodules currently only allow tracking a specific revision and each 
update in a submodule leads to a new commit in the master repository. 
However some users may want to always track the newest revision of a 
specific (named) tag or branch or HEAD. For example the user might want 
to track a staging branch in all submodules.

I wonder how you want to deal with "git bisect".  Or for that matter, with 
"git checkout HEAD^500".
