add ability to report on submodules #169

Are you able to build a mechanism to create a report from parent repos with submodules. This way you can see summary of all repos including parent and see per repo breakdown?

Hi @wildone. It's definetly doable. I am not sure a per-repo breakdown is of any interest though, as you might as well run gitinspector mutliple times for that.

The default behavior we have gone with is to combine statistics. To combine statistics from the parent repo and include submodules you can just specify the submodules on the command line to gitinspector. It will then happily merge the stats together and generate a joined report.

Adding this to the todo list as a preliminary task.
