+ 'git subtree rejoin' option to do the same as --rejoin, eg. after a
+ rebase
+
+ --prefix doesn't force the subtree correctly in merge/pull:
+ "-s subtree" should be given an explicit subtree option?
+ There doesn't seem to be a way to do this. We'd have to
+ patch git-merge-subtree. Ugh.
+ (but we could avoid this problem by generating squashes with
+ exactly the right subtree structure, rather than using
+ subtree merge...)
+
+ add a 'push' subcommand to parallel 'pull'
+
+ add a 'log' subcommand to see what's new in a subtree?
+
+ add to-submodule and from-submodule commands
+
+ automated tests for --squash stuff
+
+ "add" command non-obviously requires a commitid; would be easier if
+ it had a "pull" sort of mode instead
+
+ "pull" and "merge" commands should fail if you've never merged
+ that --prefix before
+
+ docs should provide an example of "add"
+
+ note that the initial split doesn't *have* to have a commitid
+ specified... that's just an optimization
+
+ if you try to add (or maybe merge?) with an invalid commitid, you
+ get a misleading "prefix must end with /" message from
+ one of the other git tools that git-subtree calls. Should
+ detect this situation and print the *real* problem.
+
+ "pull --squash" should do fetch-synthesize-merge, but instead just
+ does "pull" directly, which doesn't work at all.
+
+ make a 'force-update' that does what 'add' does even if the subtree
+ already exists. That way we can help people who imported
+ subtrees "incorrectly" (eg. by just copying in the files) in
+ the past.
+
+ guess --prefix automatically if possible based on pwd
+
+ make a 'git subtree grafts' that automatically expands --squash'd
+ commits so you can see the full history if you want it.
