How to ignore –dirty in Git Submodules with Pathogen

It took some googling, but finally I found the secret:

[submodule "bundle/fugitive"]
	path = bundle/fugitive
	url = git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git

Just add a single line to it and be happy:

[submodule "bundle/fugitive"]
	path = bundle/fugitive
	url = git://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git
        ignore = dirty

Just as easy as that.

The reason is that pathgen generates tags. The tags change the directory. And that’s the story.
