Git diffing crashes on Windows when submodules exist

Question

Using msysgit on windows, whenever I do git diff on a repository that has a submodule or several, the command prompt (and also PowerShell) crash.

Is this a known but and is there a fix/workaround? Can I exclude submodules from diff?

Also:

PS Z:\www\gittest> git --version
git version 1.7.6.msysgit.0

EDIT: This has also been reported on the msysgit google group.

Answer 1

我通过安装Microsoft kb2458000解决了这个问题（当Windows 7或Windows Server 2008 R2上的应用程序退出时，conhost.exe进程崩溃） 。

Answer 2

我不能用diff和子模块重现这些问题，但如果你不关心子模块diff，你可以这样做：

git diff --ignore-submodules
