Submodule update remote

[sarahamsaw]

From reading the documentation, I assumed that
git submodule update --remote
could be recreated in GitPython by the following
repo.submodule_update(to_latest_revision=True, recursive=False).

If I print out the progress, it looks like the latter one does a fetch, but doesn't update the submodule. Is there a way to do this in GitPython besides just calling repo.git.submodule('update', '--remote')?

Thanks!

I actually don't know (anymore) and would recommend to check the test suite via test_submodule.py or the likes - maybe it has invocations that show how to do certain things.

If in doubt, it can be assumed that it's not working, generally I wouldn't recommend using this submodule implementation as it's non-standard, tries to be smart and helpful, but due to lack of maintenance it might do the opposite by now.
