Ability to get the latest difference for submodules

Open dmodoomsirius opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hello I would like the ability to get the difference for a submodule even if its from a point in the commit history.

Would this be possible. I did not see a way in any of the documentation.

You can specify 2 commits and have a changelog generated between them.

Is you problem how to find which those 2 commits are?

What i am wanting to do is get the latest commits for every submodule in a repo say every submodule in https://github.com/VoltzEngine-Project/Build I would like to get the latest commits for. after running a git pull on it.

This would be ideal. At Wikimedia, we generate a weekly changelog of all repositories we deploy--this includes a lot of submodules and we'd like to scrap our custom script for the Jenkins plugin implementing this changelog you've got here.
