Hmm, I guess this was the reason, when I did that, I got

fatal: Needed a single revision Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'libraries/parallel'

so the other submodules were not initialized.

What might be wrong with 'libraries/parallel' ?

Tbh, not sure, but if you know you have nothing important in libraries/parallel, rm -rf libraries/parallel and retry a 'git submodule update --init' This is essentially the suggested course of action according to http://www.gostai.com/downloads/urbi-sdk-2.0/doc/urbi-sdk.htmldir/faq.html#x... and other results you may get if you google for that error

Thanks,

Hi herbert,

I followed your instructions, and one of my repos converted well:

e8a901fddc88c6560af34e18a5201deeb8d51557 libraries/stm (stm-2.4.3-release-3-ge8a901f)

the other gave:

-e8a901fddc88c6560af34e18a5201deeb8d51557 libraries/stm

How can I salvage the situation?

That (the '-'-sign) simply means the 'libraries/stm' submodule wasn't properly initalized;

running 'git submodule update --init' should usually take care of initializing newly added submodules.
