Subject: [PATCH v4 1/5] read-cache: update add_files_to_cache take param ignored_too

From: "Claus Schneider(Eficode) via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:22:56 +0000

From: "Claus Schneider(Eficode)" <[email-masked]>

The ignored_too parameter is added to the function
add_files_to_cache for usage of explicit updating the index for the updated
submodule using the explicit patchspec to the submodule.
