Hi,
with

$ git --version git version 2.12.0.windows.1

I'm getting

$ git config --global diff.ignoreSubmodules all $ git diff

diff --git a/scanners/scancode-toolkit b/scanners/scancode-toolkit
index 65e5c9c..6b021a8 160000

+Subproject commit 6b021a8addf6d3c5f2a6ef1af6245e095c21d8ec

but with

$ git diff --ignore-submodules=all

I'm getting the expected empty output.

I can reproduce the same on Linux with "git version 2.11.0". Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Regards,
Sebastian
