> Git 1.8.2 includes an option to have submodules track a branch tip, rather than specific commit IDs.
> {code:title=https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt#L186-L188}
>  "git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the
>    tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit
>    recorded in the superproject's gitlink).
> {code}
> Therefore, while the solution [~dgolovin] has for his https://github.com/dgolovin/jbosstools-submodules project is a decent option, it requires updating to stay current with branch tips. It's therefore only really as useful as it stays current.
> If we can get Git 1.8.2 or newer installed on the Jenkins slaves, we could do a submodule build against whatever branch we wanted - master, 4.2.0.Alpha1x, etc.
