I’m trying to deploy an app on engine yard. I’m using rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8.7

When I try to deploy it, 

~> Deploying revision 481f05e emergency commit

*** [Error] Git could not checkout (481f05e42f3e13b5eda7e598a1b797b031c9ca5e) ***

Is the git submodule sync causing the problem?

I do not have any submodules in my repository.

    I do not have any submodules in my repository.

    That means you shouldn’t see any .gitmodules file in your repo.
    If there is, that means that you have somehow a submodule declared (in which case you might want to remove it).

    If there isn’t any .gitmodules file, then something within the school path makes the deployment script believe it is a submodules, and tries to access the (non-existent) .gitmodules file of the parent repo.
    May be school has a .git directory in it?
