[PATCH v2 1/2] treat_directory(): do not declare submodules to be untracked

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Message-ID

When the working tree walker encounters a directory, it asks the function treat_directory() if it should descend into it, show it as an untracked directory, or do something else. When the directory is the top of the submodule working tree, we used to say "That is an untracked directory", which was bogus.

It is an entity that is tracked in the index of the repository we are looking at, and that is not to be descended into it. Return path_none, not path_untracked, to report that.

The existing case that path_untracked is returned for a newly discovered submodule that is not tracked in the index (this only happens when DIR_NO_GITLINKS option is not used) is unchanged, but that is exactly because the submodule is not tracked in the index.
