No, as the second issue solved by the shell loop still holds true: $ git ls-files --error-unmatch submodule/ error: pathspec 'submodule/' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? That would be really awkward, don't you think? BTW I have been asked about this behavior _easily_ a 50 times. I just finally broke down and went for the easiest solution. A proper solution would most probably involve a rewrite as a builtin.
