Hi, Let's say I have a fairly simple submodule setup where I do 'git checkout' inside the submodule to check out a different commit, so the outer repo 'git diff' shows a submodule update. In that case git config submodule.<name>.ignore all makes 'git diff' or 'git commit -a' ignore the change in the outer repo, but not 'git add -u'. Reading the git-config documentation if this is intentional behavior, I'm a bit confused. It specifies that: - "git status" and the diff family: handle this setting - git submodule commands: ignore this setting So that about 'git add -u', is it expected that it ignores this setting as well? I guess either the doc should say 'git add -u' doesn't handle this setting or 'git add -u' should handle it. Happy to try to make a patch that does the later, but I though better ask first. :-) Thanks, Miklos
