Changing branches in supermodule does not affect submodule?

Hi!

If I have a repository with submodules that is in a clean state, and switch branches in the super repository, the submodules are left in the state they were in before I switched branches (with 1.6.4, at least). Is this the expected behaviour?

# Create submodule with commit. mkdir sub cd sub git init echo C > c.txt echo D > d.txt git add c.txt d.txt git commit -m Created. cd ..

# Create commit and branch in supermodule. echo A > a.txt echo B > b.txt git add a.txt b.txt sub git commit -m Created. git tag branchpoint git checkout -b branch1

# Create branch1 in submodule and commit. cd sub git checkout -b branch1 echo E > c.txt echo F > d.txt git add c.txt d.txt git commit -m Branched. cd ..

# Commit to a branch in the supermodule. git add sub git commit -m Sub-update.

# Status should now be clean. git status

# Create a new branch in supermodule, from the original commit. git checkout -b branch2 branchpoint

# I now expect the submodule to be up-to-date and the state clean. git status --->8--8<---
