Of course you are right, the change you quoted should have been in my
patch in the first place. So squashing it seems to be the right thing to
do (but AFAICS the tests i added might be a problem, as they use
expect_from_to() which your intermediate patch added. Maybe squash these
tests into your patch and the diff you quoted above into mine?).

Good idea, i've been already exploring this line of thought too and came
to the same conclusion (i noticed that when calling plain "git diff" in a
repo with submodules, is_submodule_modified() gets called *three* times
for each submodule, which is not /that/ good for performance ;-). But i
intended to do this optimization in a subsequent patch (and in preparation
for "git diff --submodule" being able to print /how/ the submodule is
dirty without having to scan it again).
