      Source Tree has stopped displaying my submodules. When I go into terminal and type:
      git submodule status
      i get:
      bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
      C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local/libexec/git-core\git-submodule: line 159: /usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory

            I tried re-installing git but it failed. I tried deleting git_local folder but it said some one still had it open. I re-booted, deleted the folder, and started SourceTree, which asked me to re-install git. I did this time successfully. SourceTree now displays my submodules!
            Thank you.

            it sounds like you embedded git installation might be corrupted.

            You can try re-installing from the Tools/Options/Git tab. If that does not work try shutting down SourceTree and deleting the %localappdata%\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local folder.

            when you restart SourceTree it should prompt you to re-install git.
