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

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).

 In ths short run, we can paper over the shortcomings of the submodules by
 introducing a command line option "--include-submodules" to
 update-refresh, diff-files and diff-index, though.

Incidentally I was just drafting git-super.sh it see how far it goes.
The goal was to implement some cross-module operations over time. "git
super status", "git super commit" and others could be handy.
