I have no changes to be committed (tracked or untracked according to 'git status') and yet when I try and switch branches git complains that I have untracked working tree files that would be overridden and aborts before the switch.

The change I have just committed locally removes some files from the repository and adds a submodule in it's place to better organize the source for the project.

Shaka, when the walls fell. Anyone want to assist me with this issue? Feeling clueless.
