the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running
`git-commit`), the command exits with non-zero status.
-If any paths have been touched in the working tree (that is,
-their modification times have changed) but their contents and
-permissions are identical to those in the index file, the command
-updates the index file. Running `git-status` can thus speed up
-subsequent operations such as `git-diff` if the working tree
-contains many paths that have been touched but not modified.

OUTPUT
------
paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current
directory.
+If `status.submodulesummary` is set to a non zero number or true (identical
+to -1 or an unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
+summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see --summary-limit
+option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]).
