Is this something that could be covered in tests, or should I be patient and rely on patch 3/3 for that? I think this would be easier to understand if it were two patches: one that switched to --porcelain=2 with no change in behavior, and another that took advantage of --porcelain=2 to return richer information. As is, I had trouble verifying that this isn't going to break anything --- there's not enough local information here and in submodule.h to tell what callers may rely on and I didn't audit callers. Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
