Carthage: Expected submodule commit SHA in ls-tree output - error

[richardPFisk]

Hi,

What version of git does Carthage run successfully against?

The command carthage update with git version 2.3.1 seems to always give the result, expected submodule commit SHA in ls-tree output regardless of which package or version of package is referenced in the Cartfile.

Any ideas welcome before I dive further into the code.

Thanks,
Richard

This sounds like #135, which is a repository configuration issue. If your repository contains a .gitmodules file, make sure that it only lists submodules which should actually exist.

Wow, that was fast. I can confirm that a clean directory runs carthage update perfectly fine. I will try to find the offending file or directory causing the error.

Thanks very much.

No problem!

I use Carthage 0.6.4 and do have submodules in the project, checking the .submodules file it shows that is only lists the submodules existing in the project. However running; 'carthage update' gives me after fetching:
Parse error: expected submodule commit SHA in ls-tree output:

@avdwerff Check that you don't have uncommitted changes to the .gitmodules file. We got some grey hairs just minutes ago with this, and Carthage wasn't very helpful.

[avdwerff]

There were no uncommitted files, ended up building the dependancies in some other folder outside the project for now.

In my case, I had to delete existing carthage entries from my .gitmodules file. I am using carthage 0.8.0.

@chrisco314 Deleting all entries from .gitmodules didn't help until I commited changes as @pyrtsa said. Thank you guys!
