The above issue is being discussed at
|
||
|
|
[[bugs/Git_checkout_fails_using_--recurse-submodules]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DavidD's comment #2 is misleading, `git submodule update` does work fine when
|
||
|
|
you've checkout out a branch and want to update an existing submodule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When `git submodule update` does not work 100% is the case where you checked out
|
||
|
|
a branch, added a submodule in that branch, and then checked out another
|
||
|
|
branch that does not contain the submodule. What happens then is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
warning: unable to rmdir 'sub': Directory not empty
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the solution is to `rm -rf sub` manually. This is essentially the same
|
||
|
|
problem discussed above on this page where it talks about deleting a whole
|
||
|
|
submodule.
