Well, if You (or Junio) really don't want my patch without another one for git add, I may try to do it. However, git add does not even honor the submodules' ignore setting from .gitmodules (just tested with git 1.9.1: "git add -u" doesn't honor it, while "git commit -a" does). So teaching git add the --ignore-submodules switch in current state doesn't seem right to me. You might propose to add also support for the ignore setting, to make "add -u" and "commit -a" more consistent. That seems like a good idea, but the effort needed is getting bigger, and nobody actually complains about lack of submodule ignoring facility in git add, while I know that the current behavior of commit really causes trouble. -- 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
