Let's inline the recipe one finds after decrypting this link:

~/Projects/MAINMODULE/platform/SUBMODULE [master]$ git difftool -tool=3D=
meld --dir-diff --cached
  fatal: Could not switch to '../../../../platform/': No such file or d=
irectory
  diff --raw --no-abbrev -z --cached: command returned error: 128
~/Projects/MAINMODULE/platform/SUBMODULE [master]$ cd ..
~/Projects/MAINMODULE/platform [master]$ cd ..
~/Projects/MAINMODULE [master]$ git difftool -tool=3Dmeld --dir-diff --=
cached
  // NO PROBLEM, works.
~/Projects/MAINMODULE [master]$ git version
  git version 1.8.4

- Does this only happen when you use difftool? E.g. what does
  "git status" inside the submodule say?

- What does "git config core.worktree" print when run in the
  submodule?
