From git config:
diff.ignoreSubmodulesis supposed to override any ‘submodule.<name>.ignore‘ settings.And it sets the default value of the
--ignore-submodulescommand-line option.However, Allan Jensen reports (in 2019, nine years later) that feature as not working, and proposes a patch, shown in this diff.
