This doesn't seem to be related to submodules.

There error messages come from a hook being run on the bitbucket servers. They're the only ones who can know what they mean and how to solve it.

Re: Git Submodule would not work. The push does not work

Thank you Carlos, I will ask my question at bitbucket forums. But can you tell me two things: 1: How did you interpret that it was related to hook. Can you explain the error a bit 2: Am i creating the submodule correctly. Also, shall i create a new branch for it and init the submoduel there or is it a good idea to do this in master.
