Reported by JohanAt...@gmail.com, Sep 8, 2015
Affected Version: 2.11.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Approve commit of subproject
2. Look at generated superproject's subject of the commit message

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see:
updated <superproject>
But I already know it is the superproject for which the subproject is updated, because I am looking at the log of the superproject.
It would be more informative to see which subproject is updated in the subject line of the commit message.
Something like:
Update <subproject>
Or maybe:
Update <subproject>: (truncated?) subject line of commit message

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/67352/ should have fixed this in master.

Thanks for your reply.

I've looked at the patch. It seems to change the subject line to
Updated git submodules

That is still strange I think, because first of all it is only 1 submodule, and second of all, it is still not very informative. I'd rather have it tell _which_ submodule is changed.
