When a "git submodule --update" fails, e.g., due to a dirty working
directory in one of the submodules, nothing is printed out indicating
the submodule or directory in which the failure occurred. This seems
like a usability bug to me.
Thanks,

I assume you mean 'git submodule update'. What git version is this, and
how do you reproduce? I get a message like
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
foo
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting
Unable to checkout '1fac3675a8c65b14e0a98e0136b5c43db97706fe' in submodule path 'sub'
in a simple test. I am using a development version, but a brief glance
at the history seems to indictate that the 'Unable to ... in submodule
...' has always been there.
