[PATCH] git-gui: show staged submodules regardless of ignore config

Jens Lehmann· Apr 8, 2014, 19:30 UTC · lore

Currently setting submodule.<name>.ignore and/or diff.ignoreSubmodules to "all" suppresses all output of submodule changes for git-gui. This is really confusing, as even when the user chooses to record a new commit for an ignored submodule by adding it manually this change won't show up under "Staged Changes (Will Commit)".

Fix that by using the '--ignore-submodules=dirty' option for both callers of "git diff-index --cached" when the underlying git version supports that option.

I'll tentatively queue this on jl/git-gui-show-added-submodule-changes and park it on 'pu'.

I'll be tagging 2.0.0-rc0 later this week; if you have some accumulated changes (I saw that your public repository is at gitgui-0.19.0 which I already have), please plan to get them in by the end of next week.

Thanks.
