[PATCH] filter-branch: do not consider diverging submodules a 'dirty worktree'

From
Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date
Feb 4, 2009, 14:40 UTC
Message-ID
<alpine.DEB.1.00.0902041540130.10279@pacific.mpi-cbg.de>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1233758410u.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

As filter-branch could not care less about submodules' actual contents, it does not make sense to check if the checked-out submodules are up-to-date before running filter-branch. So do not do it.
