[RFE]: git submodule commit push

Hi All,

I'm finding that I have a frequent need to commit and push submodule changes because the submodule is currently subject to a whole bunch of changes. The submodule is pretty deep down in the java path of a maven project - so 7 directories down from the git root. It's a bloody pain to constantly change directories to get down there and back up to where I am working. If IntelliJ supported submodules explicitly, I might not be whining about this, but I'm having to swap to the CLI.

My suggestion is that provision be made for the support of

git submodule commit [ --recursive ] [--] [<path>.]

and

git submodule push [ --recursive ] [--] [<path>.]

with all the trappings that come with commit and push. I have a feeling this is a pretty big ask, as it will really pulling in a lot of other commands, including add.

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks, Randall
