Hi PeterR, In short, "git submodule" is one git repository (submodule) inside another git repository (superproject). For more info you may check "7.11 Git Tools - Submodules" <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules>, gitsubmodules[7] <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules> and git-submodule[1] <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule>.
Do you have any ".git" file or folder inside your "ModelCtrl" directory? What does "git status" output?
