I made a change inside mod, git status doesn't report its dirtiness, while git commit does. git status: # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: foo # # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: .gitmodules # git commit: # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: foo # # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules) # # modified: .gitmodules # modified: mod (modified content) # Now I get it! That's because I don't have submodule.mod.path! config_name_for_path only gets initialized if path exists. Apparently git submodule init doesn't configure 'path', so it stays uninitialized. - Orgad -- 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
