I know this question is similar to: Git diff says subproject is dirty but it does not display that the diff is dirty. The diff on one of my super project commits for a file shows:
diff --git a/xxxxxxx b/xxxxxxx
index 9e3b445..1a0c23c 160000
--- a/xxxxxxxx
+++ b/xxxxxxxxxx
@@ -1 +1 @@
-Subproject commit 9e3b44599d56c87bae711ba47ea103e79afe5049
+Subproject commit 1a0c23c8b90c8053286d1b13d3ec63f7768d39a7
Shouldn't it show something like:
Submodule xxxxxx Change

Every time I commit something or look at the diff on the unstaged local changes, I see this same problem on this submodule. I have other submodules in this superproject but don't have this problem. Any ideas on how to fix?
Check if xxxxxxx is actually a submodule, registered in your .gitmodules, or if it is a simple gitlink (SHA1 entry in your main project index).
A gitlink would generate that kind of diff, since it does not know its upstream repository and is not considered as a submodule.
