Imho the git status output is a bit misleading, as I assume that I can git add stuff that's modified. Perhaps git add should print a warning / error if I try to add the changed submodule and not silently ignore it. Regarding the other problem > - Why does git checkout not remove modules/ethz_systems_private/, > when switching from the master to the private branch? > (the module is only registered in the private branch) I'm still not sure what's the reason for that.
