The change in behavior my patch introduced is that "git status" is
called inside each submodule. So i would expect getting the same
errors when using this command:
   git submodule foreach git status -s

It should just show
   Entering '<submodule 1>'
   Entering '<submodule 2>'
   Entering '<submodule 3>'
   Entering '<submodule 4>'
   Entering '<submodule 5>'
   Entering '<submodule 6>'
   Entering '<submodule 7>'
   Entering '<submodule 8>'
   Entering '<submodule 9>'
   Entering '<submodule 10>'
when the submodules are not dirty. What do you get?


The error message "error: unable to find <sha1>" is only generated in
sha1_loose_object_info() when map_sha1_file() fails. Its single caller
being sha1_object_info(), which is called by many git commands. Does
that ring a bell for somebody?
