Description ain 2013-03-04 01:07:09 UTC 
How to reproduce:
1. Add a submodule to a cloned Git repository
2. Commit everything

What happens: 
1. Files in the submodule folder show up as Added.
2. After removing a submodule (git rm --cached submodule), all files still show up as Added even if the folder gets removed.

What should happen: all files in a submodule should be disregarded.

I know there have been tickets on this topic before and unfortunately I do agree that one can't work with submodules in NetBeans right now. Esp. in big projects it's a blocker.

Comment 3 Ondrej Vrabec 2013-03-04 06:33:21 UTC 
i suggest upgrading to 7.3, some issues regarding submodules were fixed in that release: e.g. #224524
Comment 4 ain 2013-03-04 08:47:29 UTC 
I'd love to upgrade but I'm dependant on Rails support in 7.2. Any workarounds?
Comment 5 ain 2013-03-05 00:46:04 UTC 
Reopening for 7.3. I've tested it on the latest NetBeans release (as we communicated on email), same failure, throws "No files available for commit".

This is specific to submodules and must be fixed as part of #207067. Simply initialize submodules on commandline and after that (assuming you restart the IDE because you basically create another local Git repository externally) committing modifications in submodule's *files* will work.
