I thought more about that, and also played with the code a bit.
First, I was confused when I wrote that git add doesn't honor
submodules' ignore setting only from .gitmodules, but it does from
.git/config. It doesn't, from neither. Sorry for the confusion. However,
that doesn't change anything on the fact that it would be nice if add
would honor the ignore setting, from both places.
Second, there are some differences between adding standard ignored
files, and ignored submodules:
1) Already tracked files are never ignored, regardless of .gitignore.
However, tracked submodules should be ignored by "add -u", if told so
by their ignore setting.
2) So .gitignore seems to only do something when adding new files to
the repo. However, when adding new submodules, they are probably never
ignored (setting the ignore setting for non existent submodule seems
like non-sense, although possible).
3) Ignored files can be ignored less explicitely (in global gitignore,
or using a wildcard, or by ignoring parent folder). So it makes sense
to warn the user if he tries to explicitely add an ignored file, as he
might not be aware that the file is ignored. Submodules, however, can
only be ignored explicitely. And when user explicitely specifies the
submodule in an add command, he most probably really wants to add it,
so I don't see the point in warning him and requiring the -f option.
So, I think that the use cases are completely different, for submodules
and ignored files. So trying to make add behave the same for both, might
not be that good idea.
I would propose - let's make add honor the ignore setting by just
parsing if from config like the other commands do, and pass it to
underlying diff invocations. And at the same the, let's override it for
submodules explicitely specified on the command line, to never ignore
such submodules, without requiring the -f option. That seems to be
pretty easy, see below.
