+--ignore-submodules[=<when>]::
+	Ignore changes to submodules when looking for changes. <when> can be
+	either "untracked", "dirty" or "all", which is the default. When
+	"untracked" is used submodules are not considered dirty when they only
+	contain untracked content (but they are still scanned for modified
+	content). Using "dirty" ignores all changes to the work tree of submodules,
+	only changes to the commits stored in the superproject are shown (this was
+	the behavior before 1.7.0). Using "all" hides all changes to submodules
+	(and suppresses the output of submodule summaries when the config option
+	`status.submodulesummary` is set).
+
 -z::
 	Terminate entries with NUL, instead of LF.  This implies
 	the `--porcelain` output format if no other format is given.
