I think it should leave out the execute part. The command, say
ls-repo, lists repositories in specified state. The execute part could
be easily done by
xargs -I{} git --git-dir={} status blah
I haven't thought it through. I know xargs does not support chdir'ing
into a repo, so maybe a new git-xargs could be introduced for that.
But there's still a problem with git-xargs (or git-all), printed paths
are relative to the subrepos, not where the git-all/xargs command is
executed. This could be confusing. Personally I'd like to do it
without chdir. That is
xargs -I{} git --git-dir={}/.git --work-tree={} status blah
should print paths relative to current working directory even if cwd
is outside the repo.
