Not sure if there is a proper, well-though workflow for this kind of case? I don't use submodules that much so I'll let people more experienced than me share their thoughts on this. However, you might be interested in knowing *git-submodule* has a foreach command, which itself has a very useful *--recursive* option for running commands on nested submodules. More infos on git-submodule's man page <http://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule>.
