Subject: Submodules and branches
Message-ID: <810a540e0804041240p4efd0973g7f46a2021b352822@mail.gmail.com>

I've got a repository that uses submodules.  If I cd to the repo root
and create a branch, all the submodules are switched to that branch as
well.  All good so far.  I go into the submodules and do my work,
committing as I go along.  Then when I'm all done and want to merge
the changes into my master branch, I cd back to the repo root and do
"git merge new_topic"

That's where it breaks down.  The commits that I made go into the
master repo itself, and the submodules don't have them.  So when I
push from the submodule to its origin, nothing goes through.  The code
is now a part of the master repo.

Is it possible for me to use branches like usual, but with submodules?
