The summary and status commands only care about submodule commits, so it is rather pointless that they check for dirty work trees. This saves the time needed to scan the submodules work tree. Even "git status" profits from these savings when the status.submodulesummary config option is set, as this lead to traversing the submodule work trees twice, once for status and once again for the submodule summary. And if the submodule was just dirty, submodule summary produced rather meaningless output anyway: * sub 1234567...1234567 (0): Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@xxxxxx> --- git-submodule.sh | 6 +++--- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-submodule.sh b/git-submodule.sh index 8c562a7..d9950c2 100755 --- a/git-submodule.sh +++ b/git-submodule.sh @@ -580,7 +580,7 @@ cmd_summary() { cd_to_toplevel # Get modified modules cared by user - modules=$(git $diff_cmd $cached --raw $head -- "$@" | + modules=$(git $diff_cmd $cached --ignore-submodules=dirty --raw $head -- "$@" | sane_egrep '^:([0-7]* )?160000' | while read mod_src mod_dst sha1_src sha1_dst status name do @@ -594,7 +594,7 @@ cmd_summary() { test -z "$modules" && return - git $diff_cmd $cached --raw $head -- $modules | + git $diff_cmd $cached --ignore-submodules=dirty --raw $head -- $modules | sane_egrep '^:([0-7]* )?160000' | cut -c2- | while read mod_src mod_dst sha1_src sha1_dst status name @@ -760,7 +760,7 @@ cmd_status() continue; fi set_name_rev "$path" "$sha1" - if git diff-files --quiet -- "$path" + if git diff-files --ignore-submodules=dirty --quiet -- "$path" then say " $sha1 $displaypath$revname" else -- 1.7.1.757.g0ad3c.dirty -- 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
