What do you mean?  As far as I can tell, if you have

    [submodule "var"]
        path = var
	ignore = dirty

in $GIT_DIR/config, a work-tree-dirty submodule "var" is not reported by "git status" and "git commit" without your patch, and your patch does not seem to break that. The only difference your patch makes is that if you had the above three-line block in the .gitmodules file and not in $GIT_DIR/config, "git status" ignored the dirtyness in the working tree, but "git commit" did notice and report it.

What am I missing?
