DESCRIPTION
-----------
correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by
working around this bug.
---verbose::
+-v, --verbose::
Report progress to stderr. By default, only a message about the
current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
additional information to be reported.
When no `--whitespace` flag is given from the command
line, this configuration item is used as the default.
+Submodules
+----------
+If the patch contains any changes to submodules then gitlink:git-apply[1]
+treats these changes as follows.
+
+If --index is specified (explicitly or implicitly), then the submodule
+commits must match the index exactly for the patch to apply. If any
+of the submodules are checked-out, then these check-outs are completely
+ignored, i.e., they are not required to be up-to-date or clean and they
+are not updated.
+
+If --index is not specified, then the submodule commits in the patch
+are ignored and only the absence of presence of the corresponding
+subdirectory is checked and (if possible) updated.
