After cloning a repository with 'git clone --recurse-submodules' I
should be able to add a file with 'git add --recurse-submodules' to
avoid worrying about submodule boundaries.
This is not like normal 'git add' since to avoid lots of meaningless
commits it would not create a commit in the submodule and the change
therefore could not be immediately reflected in the superproject
index. Maybe something like the following would work:
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
[...]
$ echo hi >plugins/cookbook-plugin/greeting
$ git add --recurse-submodules .
M plugins/cookbook-plugin
$ git commit --recurse-submodules
# Please enter a commit message for your changes to
# plugins/cookbook-plugin.
# Lines starting with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message
# aborts the commit.
