yes

simple `y2m clone ALL`

Yes, I have. I solve it by changing .y2m when I need new clone as I do
not use other options

no, always all

no as I touch almost all modules if needed and also want grep it if
needed

simple use case that for each clone do `git checkout master && git
pull` . Now I solving it using `for`
Also I miss generic support for do this for all modules. Useful e.g.
for mass changes or for mass add of maintenance branch.

Also filter for dropped modules will be nice ( quite easy to recognize
as it contain only README.md and something .gitignore )

I think we discuss it and it do not bring you enough flexibility and I
heard from many sides that git submodules sucks. Also it is not generic
enough as I want to checkout complete yast tree and not modify
yast-mass everytime we add repo.
