Hi everybody,

I've got a question regarding submodules -

I'm working on a git project with submodules connected to it, and pulling changes from them every month (more or less).
Sometimes I need to checkout older versions of the project (tags or specific commits), that needs the older versions of the submodules as they were when I defined the tag. The problem is, that the checkout only changes the superProject directories, and not the submodules... I have to checkout the relevant submodules commit manually.

Have you came across the same problem? Any idea what can I do?

You run "git submodule update".
