COMMANDS
checkout the commit specified in the index of the containing repository.
This will make the submodules HEAD be detached.
+summary::
+ Show commit summary between the given commit (defaults to HEAD) and
+ working tree/index. For a submodule in question, a series of commits
+ in the submodule between the given super project commit and the
+ index or working tree (switched by --cached) are shown.
OPTIONS
-------
Branch of repository to add as submodule.
--cached::
- Display the SHA-1 stored in the index, not the SHA-1 of the currently
- checked out submodule commit. This option is only valid for the
- status command.
+ This option is only valid for status and summary commands. These
+ commands typically use the commit found in the submodule HEAD, but
+ with this option, the commit stored in the index is used instead.
+
+-n, --summary-limit::
+ This option is only valid for the summary command.
+ Limit the summary size (number of commits shown in total).
+ Giving 0 will disable the summary; a negative number means unlimited
+ (the default). This limit only applies to modified submodules. The
+ size is always limited to 1 for added/deleted/typechanged submodules.
<path>::
Path to submodule(s). When specified this will restrict the command
