Re: [PATCH 08/15] submodule--helper list: respect submodule groups

Stefan Beller [off-list ref] writes:

As submodule--helper list is the building block for some submodule
commands (foreach, deinit, status, sync), also add tests for those.

The title is slightly misleading, isn't it?

This step only teaches the commands to limit the operation to the
defaultGroup instead of operating on everybody.  There is no
mechanism (yet) to ask for arbitrary group(s) from the command line,
which was my expectation of "respecting submodule groups", i.e. "the
only way to limit the operation to subset of submodules used to be
by giving pathspecs to match, but now a more general submodule group
mechanism can be used" is yet to come at this point in the series.
