After staging the removal of a submodule, diff-index does not consider this when "--ignore-submodules" is being used:
# In a repository with submodule "sm":
% git rm --cached sm
% git diff-index --cached --quiet --ignore-submodules HEAD
% echo $?
0
% git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: sm
"git status --ignore-submodules" behaves the same.
>From the man page of "--ignore-submodules" it looks like the option is meant to prevent scanning of submodules itself, but in this case the main repository is affected.
This command is used by zsh's vcs_info module (in Functions/VCS_Info/Backends/VCS_INFO_get_data_git):
if (( querystaged )) ; then
if ${vcs_comm[cmd]} rev-parse --quiet --verify HEAD &> /dev/null ; then
${vcs_comm[cmd]} diff-index --cached --quiet --ignore-submodules HEAD 2> /dev/null
(( $? && $? != 128 )) && gitstaged=1
Is this a bug/oversight in Git or by design?
Is there a better way to detect if there are any staged changes?
Regards,
Daniel.
