Dirty submodule is not highlighted in super-project file status view

[Murie Antoine]

I recently added submodules to one of my repository project, and i cannot see uncommitted changes in my submodules on the main repo file status view.

On my main repo: No change is detected
If I browse into my submodule: uncommitted changes are detected ↓↓↓

I would expect a dirty flag on my submodule on my main repo file status view.


Is there a configuration or an option to be notified that a change has been done on the submodule side directly from the main repo file status view?

Note: my submodules configuration does not have the "ignore = dirty" option

Not sure if you still need help.

Hello @Tinker Fadoua, thanks for looking at my subject !

To be honest, I moved my git GUI to another one, mainly because of this topic. I'm not sure if it is a question of git philosophy from Sourcetree or just an option I was missing.

For me, not seeing the submodule status in the unstaged changes is a quite disturbing choice.
If you have a simple answer, I'm curious to have it, but I don't think I will change my git GUI as I'm used to another one from SourceTree now.
