From: Paulo Vital <pvital(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; After update or change any of the Wok submodules, the modifications will be listed as Wok changes. Add configuration to ignore all changes of in Wok submodules. The value for each submodule can be "untracked", "dirty" or "all". When "untracked" is used submodules are not considered dirty when they only contain untracked content (but they are still scanned for modified content). Using "dirty" ignores all changes to the work tree of submodules, only changes to the commits stored in the superproject are shown (this was the behavior before 1.7.0). Using "all" hides all changes to submodules (and suppresses the output of submodule summaries when the config option status.submodulesummary is set). This patch sets "ignore = all" for all Wok submodules.
