Hi I have a repo with submodule, like: % git submodule status --recursive +834b7a0fb6de03c8e584256af2ecb7889b568343 tools/OpenROAD (v2.0-15587-g834b7a0fb) aafee90f8a21bf7867cef2e159929440cf45b2e5 tools/OpenROAD/src/sta (v2.2.0-1106-gaafee90) ef5389d31526003c2ebd7e6d6d6fe3848a20f0a2 tools/OpenROAD/third-party/abc (remotes/origin/HEAD) 80ba43d26264738c93900129dc0aab7fab36c53f tools/yosys (yosys-0.44) 28d955ca97a1c4be3aed4062aec0241a734fac5d tools/yosys/abc (yosys-0.44) If I try to grep the output I get a fatal error: % git submodule status --recursive | grep -q "^+" fatal: failed to recurse into submodule 'tools/OpenROAD' I didn't expect any output but did want the return status (0). I'm guessing git is unhappy that grep -q exits on the first occurrence of the pattern. I don't feel fatal is appropriate here. I can work around this by writing to a tmpfile but would like to see this addressed. Thanks! Matt
