The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"
git submodule: ignore dirty submodules for summary and status

In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.
And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).
A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

This was already the case before commit 9e4b7ab6 (git status: not
"commit --dry-run" anymore, 2009-08-15) with the difference that it died
at failure.
It got lost during the new implementation of "git status", which was
meant to only change behaviour when invoked with arguments.

When the configuration variable status.submodulesummary is not 0 or
false, "git status" shows the submodule summary of the staged submodule
commits. But it did not show the summary of those commits not yet
staged in the supermodule, making it hard to see what will not be
committed.
The output of "submodule summary --for-status" has been changed from
"# Modified submodules:" to "# Submodule changes to be committed:" for
the already staged changes. "# Submodules changed but not updated:" has
been added for changes that will not be committed. This is much clearer
and consistent with the output for regular files.

This removes tentative "git stat" and make it take over "git status".
There are some tests that expect "git status" to exit with non-zero status
when there is something staged. Some tests expect "git status path..." to
show the status for a partial commit.
For these, replace "git status" with "git commit --dry-run". For the
ones that do not attempt a dry-run of a partial commit that check the
output from the command, check the output from "git status" as well, as
they should be identical.

In order to selectively skip tests, the environment variable GIT_SKIP_TESTS
can be set like this:
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1301 t4150.18' make test
That is, its value can contain only the test script numbers, but not the
full script name. Therefore, it is important that the test scripts are
uniquely numbered. This makes it so.
