[egit-dev] Automatic submodule updating

Hi,

we're sparingly using submodules to share certain things between repositories, but they really
are a pain to use. It's always an extra round trip that you have to do after every pull, reset, checkout.

Very few people will change the submodules, they just need to be there, in the correct state.

We'd like to automatically update the submodules after operations like pull, reset, checkout.
For a start we have an implementation for pull.

This will probably never become a 100% solution to keep everything in sync, but more a convenience
thing for the common cases.

Now there are two questions:
1) is anyone interested in this?
2) if not, would you be willing to accept changes so that we could implement this behavior externally
without distributing a custom egit version?

Thanks
Carsten
