For 'add -i' and 'add -p' the only action we can take on a dirty submodule entry (from the superproject perspective) is its SHA-1. The content changes inside do not matter, at least until interactive add has --recurse-submodules or something. Ignore all dirty changes to reduce the questions 'add -i' and 'add -p' throw at the user when submodules are dirty. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx> --- $DAYJOB started to use submodules and this annoys me so much when I use 'git add -p'. I'm neither very familiar with add--interactive nor submodules code but this seems to work. Hopefully it's a correct change. git-add--interactive.perl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/git-add--interactive.perl b/git-add--interactive.perl index 28b325d754..964c3a7542 100755 --- a/git-add--interactive.perl +++ b/git-add--interactive.perl @@ -262,7 +262,7 @@ sub list_modified { } } - for (run_cmd_pipe(qw(git diff-files --numstat --summary --raw --), @ARGV)) { + for (run_cmd_pipe(qw(git diff-files --ignore-submodules=dirty --numstat --summary --raw --), @ARGV)) { if (($add, $del, $file) = /^([-\d]+) ([-\d]+) (.*)/) { $file = unquote_path($file); -- 2.15.1.600.g899a5f85c6
