Superproject branch tracking?
Guys,
Can someone tell me what the current best practice to have a Git supermodule maintain a branch that is actively tracking a similarly named branch in all of the submodules?
That is, I want have a scenario where I would like the master branch of a super-project to always (or on demand) reflect the current HEAD of the master branch in each of the submodules.
Does anyone have a script up their sleeve that I can use as a hook in the super to notice updates to a submodule and cause it to scurry around the sub-modules and create a new (updated) commit in the super?
Thanks,
jdl

Hello
Have you seen Shawn's repo tool?

It might not do *exactly* what you're looking for, but it is magical.
There's also a repo-discuss google group where repo-specific questions can be addressed.
