Re: [PATCH v2] Fix status of initialized but not cloned submodules

Peter Kästle [off-list ref] writes:

...  I mean, the outer git repo should treat the inner one as standard
file structure and not as a submodule until the user explicitly calls
the "git submodule add" command.  And thus "git submodule status"
should completely skip it.  Calling "git status" in the outer repo
should list the inner one as "untracked" or?

I agree that is a sensible expectation.
