Another issue is that the V8 repository has files checked in with CRLF line endings (intentionally or otherwise), which makes git think there is always a modified file if core.autocrlf=true in git config. Among other things, this blocks the "git submodule update" It can be worked around like this: $ git submodule update error: You have local changes to 'tools/visual_studio/d8_arm.vcproj'; cannot switch branches. Unable to checkout 'd28b6a024826aaa48a8b3e69c096d01c91aff2c9' in submodule path'src/3rdparty/v8' $ cd src/3rdparty/v8/ $ git reset --hard d28b6a024826aaa48a8b3e69c096d01c91aff2c9 Checking out files: 100% (894/894), done.
