Re: [BUG] git status doesn't handle submodules properly on OSX

["Lars Hoss" <lars@woeye.net>]

Hi!

I've cloned git this morning in order to try a build from this.
But chances are small that it will make a difference. Because from
the portfile I can see that macports just downloads 1.6.0.2 release
and builds it without any special patches or configure options.

As I said before, 1.5.6 works fine for me. But why 1.6.0.2 does not
work on my box - I don't know yet. Since Pedro uses a case-insensitive
volume as well, the problem seems not be related to sensitve/insensitive.

Now that I have a git clone on my box I might try bisect as well.

Yours,
Lars
