Yeah I was also surprised to find that this kind of functionality didn't already exist. Though I guess there are still many builtin's that don't play nice with submodules so maybe this kind of functionality just wasn't needed until now. > * It is somewhat surprising that [4/5] does not even use the > previous ls-files to find out the paths. The first attempt I made at this series used ls-files to produce a list of files which was then fed to the grep machinery. The problem I found with this approach was when I started moving to work on grepping history, at that point it seemed to make more sense to have a process for each submodule. -- Brandon Williams
