Right now "git diff --submodule" doesn't show the dirty status of a submodule at all (like it does when using it without that option and having paid the cost to get the necessary information). So IMHO something like the patch below should go into 1.7.0 to fix that. When applied the output looks like this: Submodule sub 3f35670..3f35670-dirty: which is now consistent with the output of "git diff" without that option:diff --git a/sub b/sub --- a/sub +++ b/sub@@ -1 +1 @@ -Subproject commit 3f356705649b5d566d97ff843cf193359229a453 +Subproject commit 3f356705649b5d566d97ff843cf193359229a453-dirty
I think this is sensible; I queued it to 'pu' to give chance to submodule users comment on it, but I am inclined to say it should be part of 1.7.0 for consistency.
