Greetings all,

two days ago I posted about an issue: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/98171

After more testing I can confirm it is indeed a bug.

1.6.0.2 on OSX Leopard doesn't work. After adding a submodule the folder of the submodule will always get listed under "Untracked files" when calling git status.

1.5.6, however, works fine. I have not tested trunk yet.
So as a workaround I have to go back to 1.5.6 for now.

Yours, Lars
