Mark Levedahlsubmodule foreach <command-list> will execute the list of commands in each currently checked out submodule directory. The list of commands is arbitrary as long as it is acceptable to sh. The variables '$path' and '$sha1' are availble to the command-list, defining the submodule path relative to the superproject and the submodules's commitID as recorded in the superproject (this may be different than HEAD in the submodule).
This utility is inspired by a number of threads on the mailing list looking for ways to better integrate submodules in a tree and work with them as a unit. This could include fetching a new branch in each from a given source, or possibly checking out a given named branch in each. Currently, there is no consensus as to what additional commands should be implemented in the porcelain, requiring all users whose needs exceed that of git-submodule to do their own scripting. The foreach command is intended to support such scripting, and in particular does no error checking and produces no output, thus allowing end users complete control over any information printed out and over what constitutes an error.
