| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We support backslash escape, but we hide the details behind the phrase "a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3)". So it may not be obvious how one can get literal # or ! at the beginning of pattern. Add a few lines on how to work around the magic characters.

Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead to correct this. That means: If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to. If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch specified in the "--branch" option. If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all refs of the cloned repository. If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

This is a UI mistake that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that name, e.g. $ git submodule show error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its value is questionable. Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than promoting laziness and confusion.
