I don't get it. If the goal is to keep the old behavior, then "git status" shouldn't be changed either. Fixing bugs needs to change the behavior. IOW, why was it a bug that "git status" showed ignored submodules and not a bug that "git submodule summary" did the same? > Fine by me, what would you propose to clarify that? (Though I have the > suspicion that the explanation will be three years late ;-) I have no idea, as I do not understand the reason myself yet. I'm not a frequent user of submodules and not a user of the ignore option at all, so I can't tell what's best. I'd just like the new behavior to be justified somewhere. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
