Thanks again for your feedback, guys! Ok, I've done it and tracked it down. Unfortunately my MacBook has no access to the company network or internet (must get an iPhone ;-), so I cannot copy&paste my finding. For now I can you give this: 1.5.6.rc1.24.gd629 fails 1.5.6.rc1.23.g6c2ce works The commit was on Jun 5, 14:47:50 by Marius Storm-Olsen and the relevant file is wt-status.c. Ok, I think I found the issue. I enabled showUntrackedFiles in my gitconfig: status.showUntrackedFiles = all On the one hand it makes sense to list submodule folder as untracked files. Then again it feels wrong because it is a registered submodule. Hm :-) Anyway, bisect is really impressive!
