Thank You. This is interesting. There seems to be also a config option submodule.recurse. I did not know that these options have such an effect on the checkout command.

Best Regards, Mike

The original behavior of checkout is to ignore submodules, hence it will be left alone. Can you retry this recipe with --recurse-submodules given to checkout. (Or rather run "git config submodule.recurse true" once)

Thanks, Stefan
