Why does git say a sub project is dirty if I do no

Question

Its a new git repository and all I've done is added a whole lot of code to it. However, it tells me:

+Subproject commit 62402f4a7e3aa34a5f22532c8c699836b7ae4967-dirty

Based on this question, this seems to imply that this has something to do with sub modules and is to be expected if you have sub modules.

However, I do not have any. Why am I getting this message and how do I get of it?

Answer 1

Make sure there aren't some unintended .git folders in subdirectories of your repo.
