I concur: adding a change that is hidden from the user during the process is not a good idea. > That leaves the question of how to add explicitly. "git add -f"? > "git add --ignore-submodules=none"? I suspect "git add" and "git commit -a" have to learn the --ignore-submodules option anyway if we go that route. There are points in time (e.g. releasing a new version or having run an expansive test successfully) where some users want to update the submodules that are normally ignored to record the exact versions involved. -- 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
