git: list of all changed files including those in submodules

Question

I would like to get a list of all files, which have changed betweet two commits including those in submodules.

I know I can do this:

git diff --name-         


        

Answer 1

So, the very straightforward script that lists all changes compared to a revision

#!/bin/sh
echo "Listing changes for super module"
git diff $1 --name-only
subs=(`git submodule | awk '{print $2}'`)
for sub in ${subs[*]}; do
   lastrevision=`git diff  $1 $sub | fgrep "Subproject" | head -n1 | awk '{print $3}'`
   cd $sub
   echo "Listing changes for $sub"
   git diff $lastrevision --name-only
   cd ..
done

it takes one argument - revision you want to compare with. Make sure that there is fgrep "Subproject", not fgrep "Submodule".
