When -u|--use-gitmodules is given the update command uses the .gitmodules config file instead of the .git/config file to obtain the track parameter. This makes it for example possible to change branches for all submodules at the same time without having to sync up .git/config first. Signed-off-by: Fabian Franz <redacted>
Once you start doing that, doesn't it force you to always bypass .git/config, making the current mechanism even less useful? If you find that "having to sync up .git/config first" is inconvenient, wouldn't it be more useful for your patch if it made it easier and more convenient the procedure "to sync up .git/config first", instead of bypassing the current setup? -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/
