Hey! Thanks for the reply. Exactly the right option... except it doesn't work :-(

$ git --version
git version 1.7.1
$ git config status.submodulesummary
false
$ git status -uno
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#   (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
#
#       modified:   ffmpeg (modified content)
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
