My guess is somewhat different. It is not used because the right semantics for such a use case hasn't been defined yet (in other words, what you suggested is _wrong_ as is). You need to remember that a particular clone may not be interested in all submodules, and it is far from "the closest match". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
