So you have two private projects. One is the main project, the other is a submodule of that project. > 1. Cloned an external repo and added it to my local repo as a > submodule.

When you tried to update the submodule, it failed. If that's the case, you may want to update the ".gitmodules" file in the root directory of your main project.
