Re: RFC: display dirty submodule working directory in git gui and gitk

Hi,

The real problem is that submodules in the current form are not very well
designed.  For example, a submodule being at a different commit than in
the superproject's index is not as fatal as the submodule having changes.

So in the long run, IMHO a proper redesign of the submodules would not
make only a little sense (it does not help, though, that those who
implemented and furthered the current approach over other discussed
approaches do not use submodules themselves -- not even now).

Do you mean the complete workflow (submodules are links to other git repos)
or the current implementation? Do you have links to other design
approaches/threads? Would be nice if we could take that into account for any
decision.
