I looked at the tests, and the tests expected git status to respect the ignore settings, but there were no tests that expected git submodule summary to work this way. Perhaps this is a failure in the tests. I got feedback that git submodule summary should *not* change, and nothing until now to contradict that. If the decision is that this should change both, then fine, I'll reroll. But it's not reasonable to keep going back and forth: we should make a decision and stick to it. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
