Hi, Let's say I have a fairly simple submodule setup where I do 'git checkout' inside the submodule to check out a different commit, so the outer repo 'git diff' shows a submodule update.
In that case
git config submodule.<name>.ignore all
makes 'git diff' or 'git commit -a' ignore the change in the outer repo,
but not 'git add -u'.
Reading the git-config documentation if this is intentional behavior,
I'm a bit confused. It specifies that:
- "git status" and the diff family: handle this setting
- git submodule commands: ignore this setting
So that about 'git add -u', is it expected that it ignores this setting
as well?
I guess either the doc should say 'git add -u' doesn't handle this
setting or 'git add -u' should handle it. Happy to try to make a patch
that does the later, but I though better ask first. :-)
Thanks,
Miklos
