Subject: git-submodule: Fix "Unable to checkout" for the initial 'update'
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0.3~58
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9b378a001d35a64a30a652a45f8084ee2be6cdf;p=git.git

git-submodule: Fix "Unable to checkout" for the initial 'update'

Since commit 55218("checkout: do not lose staged removal"), in
cmd_add/cmd_update, "git checkout <commit>" following
"git clone -n" may fail if <commit> is different from HEAD.

So Use "git checkout -f <commit>" to fix this.
