10036,Submodules not cleaned,Niklas Angare <li51ckf02@…>,Noel Belcourt,"regression.py cleans the source directory of the super-project, but not the submodules. The ""git status"" command it runs just after cleaning shows this for me:

{{{
On branch develop
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use ""git add <file>..."" to update what will be committed)
  (use ""git checkout -- <file>..."" to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)

        modified:   libs/interprocess (modified content)
        modified:   libs/numeric/odeint (untracked content)
        modified:   tools/build (modified content, untracked content)

no changes added to commit (use ""git add"" and/or ""git commit -a"")
}}}

The changes in libs/interprocess were caused by my patch_boost script. The changes in libs/numeric/odeint were generated files. The changes in tools/build were generated files plus manual changes I made to test something between runs.

Adding the following command would appear to fix it:
{{{
git submodule foreach ""(git reset --hard; git clean -fxd)""
}}}

While researching this I stumbled upon the fact that orphaned submodule directories aren't removed by git clean unless you pass it -ffxd (see the help for the -d option). However this will remove submodules that are present in another branch but not the current one, which may or may not be a good idea.
