The change in behavior my patch introduced is that "git status" is called inside each submodule. So i would expect getting the same errors when using this command: git submodule foreach git status -s It should just show Entering '<submodule 1>' Entering '<submodule 2>' Entering '<submodule 3>' Entering '<submodule 4>' Entering '<submodule 5>' Entering '<submodule 6>' Entering '<submodule 7>' Entering '<submodule 8>' Entering '<submodule 9>' Entering '<submodule 10>' when the submodules are not dirty. What do you get? The error message "error: unable to find <sha1>" is only generated in sha1_loose_object_info() when map_sha1_file() fails. Its single caller being sha1_object_info(), which is called by many git commands. Does that ring a bell for somebody? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
