[PATCH 03/15] add, reset: ensure submodules can be added or reset

From
BWBrandon Williams <bmwill@google.com>
Date
Jul 25, 2017, 21:39 UTC
Message-ID
<20170725213928.125998-4-bmwill@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170725213928.125998-1-bmwill@google.com>

Commit aee9c7d65 (Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status) introduced the ignore configuration option for submodules so that configured submodules could be omitted from the status and diff commands. Because this flag is respected in the diff machinery it has the unintended consequence of potentially prohibiting users from adding or resetting a submodule, even when a path to the submodule is explicitly given.

Ensure that submodules can be added or set, even if they are configured to be ignored, by setting the `DIFF_OPT_OVERRIDE_SUBMODULE_CONFIG` diff flag.
