Subject: [PATCH] diff: allow --recurse-submodules as an synonym for --submodule
Date: Thu,  6 Sep 2018 11:23:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180906182353.114453-1-sbeller@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAN0heSpOG8c5En_YVvtkcwBmOrnS72cTXSw9YRJP4FG-M8dWag@mail.gmail.com>

Many commands have flags to recurse into submodules, which is named
--recurse-submodules. The diff family also has a submodule recursion flag,
but that is named differently. Add a synonym --recurse-submodules, which
means the same as the --submodule flag, such that across all git commands
supporting submodules we have the --recurse-submodules flag available.
