I hadn't realized before that the worktree_status usually is taken verbatim from diff_filepair. Now I understand better what you were talking about offline earlier today (sorry for the confusion). We probably don't want the diff machinery to have to be aware of the various status_format modes, so doing this here seems sensible to me. Unfortunately it's also a reminder that "git diff --name-status" and --diff-filter could benefit from a similar change. (Unfortunate because that's a harder change to make without breaking scripts.) > + else if (d->dirty_submodule & DIRTY_SUBMODULE_MODIFIED) > + d->worktree_status = 'm'; > + else if (d->dirty_submodule & DIRTY_SUBMODULE_UNTRACKED) > + d->worktree_status = '?'; > + } > + } Given the above, this implementation looks good. So for what it's worth, this patch is Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrineder@xxxxxxxxx> Patch 1/3 is the one that gives me pause, since I hadn't been able to chase down all callers. Would it be feasible to split that into two: one patch to switch to --porcelain=2 but not change behavior, and a separate patch to improve what is stored in the dirty_submodule flags? Thanks, Jonathan
