It's possible that git is confusing them. There was a bug where git-status with some configurations would show submodules as untracked files. It was fixed by 98fa473 (refactor handling of "other" files in ls-files and status, 2008-10-16), which is in v1.6.0.4. Depending on your git version, you may be seeing that bug. Otherwise, it's hard to say without more information. Can you show us what commands you're running, what output you're seeing, and how it differs from what you expect? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
