DESCRIPTION
add::
Add the given repository as a submodule at the given path
to the changeset to be committed next to the current
- project: the current project is termed termed the "superproject".
+ project: the current project is termed the "superproject".
+
This requires two arguments: <repository> and <path>.
+
in the submodule between the given super project commit and the
index or working tree (switched by --cached) are shown.
+foreach::
+ Evaluates an arbitrary shell command in each checked out submodule.
+ The command has access to the variables $path and $sha1:
+ $path is the name of the submodule directory relative to the
+ superproject, and $sha1 is the commit as recorded in the superproject.
+ Any submodules defined in the superproject but not checked out are
+ ignored by this command. Unless given --quiet, foreach prints the name
+ of each submodule before evaluating the command.
+ A non-zero return from the command in any submodule causes
+ the processing to terminate. This can be overridden by adding '|| :'
+ to the end of the command.
++
+As an example, "git submodule foreach 'echo $path `git rev-parse HEAD`' will
+show the path and currently checked out commit for each submodule.
