Hi,

The series at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/241455 is a
start.  I'm hoping to get a reroll done soon and then I can talk about
later steps.

https://github.com/jlehmann/git-submod-enhancements/wiki has a rough
roadmap, but really there's lots of commands that could be improved to
recurse into submodules and not many interdependencies involved so
anyone can bite off a chunk.

Thanks,
Jonathan
