git.detectSubmodules is not honored #254407
Description
Type: Bug
- create a git repository with a git submodule in it; clone it locally
- set git.detectSubmodules to False
- open VS code, add the folder containing the git repository
- go to the "Source Control" pane: you will see 2 entries, one for the main repository and one for the submodule, despite git.detectSubmodules being set to false
