This config option is overridden if 'git submodule update' is given
the '--merge' or '--rebase' options.
+submodule.<name>.ignore::
+ Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
+ a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
+ modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
+ takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
+ recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
+ let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
+ Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
+ submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
+ If this option is also present in the submodules entry in .git/config of
+ the superproject, the setting there will override the one found in
+ .gitmodules.
+ Both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
+ "--ignore-submodule" option.
