Never set CE_FSMONITOR_VALID on the cache-entry of submodule directories. During a client command like 'git status', we may need to recurse into each submodule to compute a status summary for the submodule. Since the purpose of the ce_flag is to let Git avoid scanning a cache-entry, setting the flag causes the recursive call to be avoided and we report incorrect (no status) for the submodule. We created an OS watch on the root directory of our working directory and we receive events for everything in the cone under it. When submodules are present inside our working directory, we receive events for both our repo (the super) and any subs within it. Since our index doesn't have any information for items within the submodules, we can't use those events. We could try to truncate the paths of those events back to the submodule boundary and mark the GITLINK as dirty, but that feels expensive since we would have to prefix compare every FS event that we receive against a list of submodule roots. And it still wouldn't be sufficient to correctly report status on the submodule, since we don't have any space in the cache-entry to cache the submodule's status (the 'SCMU' bits in porcelain V2 speak). That is, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit just says that we don't need to scan/inspect it because we already know the answer -- it doesn't say that the item is clean -- and we don't have space in the cache-entry to store those answers. So we should always do the recursive scan. Therefore, we should never set the flag on GITLINK cache-entries.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
