I was wondering the same thing about why 'git submodule sync
--recursive --quiet' succeeded, so I checked on it. The answer is
that "--quiet" sets GIT_QUIET=1, which is then inherited by the
recursive call. Indeed, Jens' new test passes even without the
accompanying fix. :-\
The 'status --recursive --cached' test passes for two reasons. The
first is that the test is checking for a cached change in a level-1
submodule, but it is the level-2+ submodules which do not get the
flags passed down correctly in "$@". The 2nd reason is that the
$cached variable is _also_ inherited by the recursive call to
cmd_status, specifically because it is a call to cmd_status() and not
to '$SHELL git submodule status', where the latter would have cleared
the flags at startup, but the former does not.
I'm a bit wary about "fixing" the flags for the recursion machinery.
I'm starting to think $orig_flags is moot in almost all cases. It
looks like clearing all the flags on each iteration would break 'git
submodule foreach --recursive --quiet' because it does not use
$orig_flags at all. Who knows what other surprises lurk there.
Here's a fix for the test, though, even though it still does not fail
in the absence of the $orig_flags patch.
