Considering a situation with 1 submodule:

   $ git submodule status
   SHA1 /some/path (REFERENCE)

Would it not be more useful if it reported the REFERENCE as reported by:

   git describe --all SHA1

rather than the current implementation, which I believe shows the  
result from:

   git describe -SHA1

Does this make sense, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
