The amended commit IS already added to the superproject (and pushed to the remote). Please have a look at my script, this happens here: # Correct that in the parent too: pushd parent git add subm git commit -m 'Updated subm.' popd The commit from before the amend was added to the super project (but never pushed) but has now been completely replaced. I still think this is a flaw in git. It shouldn't not complain and simply push. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@xxxxxxxxxx>
