Handling of submodules and local changes about git-repo-updater HOT 2 OPEN

Well, it's an old script that I made while still playing around with git / Python packaging, and I haven't touched it much since, so it's devoid of many features that you would expect it to have. I believe submodules are ignored, and it won't update a repo if you have local changes since this would cause a conflict. I'm uncomfortable about automatically pushing. Isn't that something you generally do as you develop, not for multiple projects at the end of a session? Actually, I can see that being useful if you only have an internet connection for a very short amount of time. An idea for me to consider.

Anyways, glad to know the tool has some interest in it. Still, it'll have to remain low-priority for some time, since I have a number of other projects to work on first.

Thanks, Ben, for the quick response. For me the automatic pushing is the
flip-side of automatic pulling -- it keeps me from forgetting to push one
of the repos I've been working on during a session, working on the branch
from another machine, and then ending up with merge conflicts that prevent
an automatic pull. But this may be partly a symptom of my workflow --
largely working as sole developer but pulling and pushing from several
different machines.

Anyhow, I've thrown together an ugly bash script and if I get around to
integrating it with gitup I'll send you a pull request.

Cheers,

Ian
