should git subrepo status show difference to upstream?

[Hades32]

I have a repository with several subrepos. On a branch of my project repo, I make changes to several subrepos.

Now, before I merge the project branch into project master I want all subrepos to be clean and to point to their respective master branches. Therefore I first want to create PRs to all the subrepos, describe the respective change, merge them and then update the project repo to point to master of the subrepos.

Now, my issue is that I can't remember which subrepos I touched. I expected that git subrepo status would show me which subrepos have changed since the last pull (just like git status tells me branch is 3 commits ahead).

Is this a missing feature or am I using it wrong?

Missing feature. Since this information has to be deduced by evaluating the full history of the git repo, this can a very expensive operation. I do think it would be a very valuable addition. I personally would like to see it added as a flag, maybe added when -v is passed in.
