Thank you for your answer and sorry for the delay (I was on vacation...).

I am using git 2.9.0.windows.1 (run on Windows 7 via git bash).

I tested it on this repo: https://github.com/githubtraining/example-dependency.git The same problem occurs. Here a small script to reproduce the error on my PC: #!/bin/bash git clone https://github.com/githubtraining/example-dependency.git cd example-dependency git submodule deinit js

It ends with this error: fatal: Please stage your changes to .gitmodules or stash them to proceed Submodule work tree 'js' contains local modifications; use '-f' to discard them

Is the script working on your PC?

Thank you in advance.

Thomas
