I assume you know the "--rebase" option and the "update=rebase" config setting for "git submodule update" and they don't work for you? > Developers would probably want the fetch-if-super-gitlink-has-changed > behaviour. Yeah, I think we need to support the fetch-if-super-gitlink-has-changed, always-fetch-all and never-fetch behavior. So in your example you could set fetch-if-super-gitlink-has-changed in the global config and use fetch-all for the submodule you are hacking on by changing its config if you want that. > Hope that is a useful use-case. Sure, thanks!
