Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) git status cd submodule git checkout origin/HEAD cd .. git status What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) the second git status showing that a submodule changed What happened instead? (Actual behavior) second git status also shows up to date What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Anything else you want to add: I have core.fsmonitor set to true in ~/.gitconfig If I run `git status` with git version 2.32.1 then 2.36.1 will also correctly report the submodule as changed after the next git status (because I don't have an fsmonitor script named true, using git 2.32.1 will reset my cache) Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.

(Actual behavior) > second git status also shows up to date I believe that this should be fixed by one of the active FSMonitor patches that are lined up for getting merged into Git: https://lore.kernel.org/git/d0c8fecd1a0d622b1a6cce0aa79fdcdc2771db1d.1653601644.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ Do you have a setup where you could apply this patch and build Git so that you can verify whether this fixes the bug you reported?
