+ * it in the repository. The list is built from the .gitmodules file, the
+ * .git/config file, the index, and the HEAD tree. Items in the working
+ * directory that look like submodules (i.e. a git repo) but are not
+ * mentioned in those places won't be tracked.

+/**
+ * Return codes for submodule status.
+ *
+ * A combination of these flags will be returned to describe the status of a
+ * submodule. Depending on the "ignore" property of the submodule, some of
+ * the flags may never be returned because they indicate changes that are
+ * supposed to be ignored.
+ *
+ * Submodule info is contained in 4 places: the HEAD tree, the index, config
+ * files (both .git/config and .gitmodules), and the working directory. Any
+ * or all of those places might be missing information about the submodule
+ * depending on what state the repo is in. We consider all four places to
+ * build the combination of status flags.
+ *
+ * There are four values that are not really status, but give basic info
+ * about what sources of submodule data are available. These will be
+ * returned even if ignore is set to "ALL".
+ *
+ * * IN_HEAD - superproject head contains submodule
+ * * IN_INDEX - superproject index contains submodule
+ * * IN_CONFIG - superproject gitmodules has submodule
+ * * IN_WD - superproject workdir has submodule
+ *
+ * The following values will be returned so long as ignore is not "ALL".
+ *
+ * * INDEX_ADDED - in index, not in head
+ * * INDEX_DELETED - in head, not in index
+ * * INDEX_MODIFIED - index and head don't match
+ * * WD_UNINITIALIZED - workdir contains empty directory
+ * * WD_ADDED - in workdir, not index
+ * * WD_DELETED - in index, not workdir
+ * * WD_MODIFIED - index and workdir head don't match
+ *
+ * The following can only be returned if ignore is "NONE" or "UNTRACKED".
+ *
+ * * WD_INDEX_MODIFIED - submodule workdir index is dirty
+ * * WD_WD_MODIFIED - submodule workdir has modified files
+ *
+ * Lastly, the following will only be returned for ignore "NONE".
+ *
+ * * WD_UNTRACKED - wd contains untracked files
