If I set git config --global submodule.recurse true and run git via: git pull --progress -v --no-rebase "origin" The command will fail with following output (Errorlevel is 1) Fetching submodule submodules/tstemplates From http://10.0.102.194:7990/scm/mcc/tstemplates = [up to date] feature/robin -> origin/feature/robin = [up to date] master -> origin/master Already up to date. usage: git submodule [--quiet] add [-b <branch>] [-f|--force] [--name <name>] [--reference <repository>] [--] <repository> [<path>] or: git submodule [--quiet] status [--cached] [--recursive] [--] [<path>...] or: git submodule [--quiet] init [--] [<path>...] or: git submodule [--quiet] deinit [-f|--force] (--all| [--] <path>...) or: git submodule [--quiet] update [--init] [--remote] [-N|--no-fetch] [-f|--force] [--checkout|--merge|--rebase] [--[no-]recommend-shallow] [--reference <repository>] [--recursive] [--] [<path>...] or: git submodule [--quiet] summary [--cached|--files] [--summary-limit <n>] [commit] [--] [<path>...] or: git submodule [--quiet] foreach [--recursive] <command> or: git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [<path>...] or: git submodule [--quiet] absorbgitdirs [--] [<path>...] seams that the “verbose” parameter “-v” is also sent to “git submodules” wich does not support it. If I remove “-v” it will work. Problem is, I use TortoiseGit, wich will automatically create this command!
