Git: can I suppress listing of 'modified content'/dirty submodule entries in status, diff, etc?

Question

Somewhen (around the 1.6.x releases, I think) git became aware of changes inside submodules. That only serves to annoy me:

$ git status vendor | grep modified:
#

I've answered this question here in greater detail.

Just run

git config --global diff.ignoreSubmodules dirty

to add a local config option to ignore those changes.
