There is no way to convert multiple repositories (repository with submodules)

Created by email from Eli Smaga:

Hello,

How do I use your lfs-migrate tool to convert a repo and the repo's submodule so that all of the branch, tag, and submodule links are updated with the new SHA's?

You mention doing that in the following post, but I don't see a way to do that. When I clone with the --> mirror option it doesn't get any of the submodule information so I can't convert the repo and submodule at the same time.

Thanks for your help,
Eli

I see two ways for this feature implementation:

1. mapping file for change remote commit SHA1;
2. batch configuration for convert multiple repositories in single run.

First one is likely for me.

Could you explain in a little more detail what you mean in option 1? I'm not really clear what your proposing. Thanks.

I found myself needing this feature today.

As a user, I'm all for option 1. It would allow me to migrate a submodule, then migrate repos one at a time that use the submodule. Perhaps the mapping file would be useful for other tasks as well?
