Hi,

I'd like to get information about the submodule commits used by a given super project commit.

The information I'm looking for is quite similar than the one you can get with "git submodule status" but for any revs not only the current head of the super project.

Someone on #git kindly suggested me to use git-ls-tree, but I'm wondering if an option or a new command to git-submodule could be added to achieve that.

Thanks
