[feature request] submodule support

[Autoplectic]

i think legit could grow some sort of submodule support -- perhaps legit sync would update all submodules? or maybe a dedicated command to work with submodules.

+1000. submodules are my biggest pain point for the git interface today.

I think it should be a separate command.

[kennethreitz]

Some pretty serious thought will need to go into this.

What would your ideal git submodule interface look like?

[cayblood]

I think it would be nice to have an optional arg to the sync command to also update submodules, which could be set as the default option if desired, using either a dotfile or environment variable.

[franciscolourenco]

to start with, make the existent commands work when inside a submodule. right now it refers to the main repo instead of the submodule repo

[kennethreitz]

This is fixed actually and will be included in the next release.

[franciscolourenco]

can it be easily updated with pip?

[kennethreitz]

Yes:

$ brew install legit --upgrade

You should git submodule update --init --recursive after each switch and sync so that people don't have to think about submodules in most cases. Not a separate command!
