fatal: not a git repository: ../../.git/modules/modules/PX4Firmware
fatal: could not reset submodule index

will need a lot more info on what the issue is...this is not an ArduPilot module

+1 on this. Seems like the repo is in a bad state. Repro steps:

1. Clone the ardupilot repo. (local will be set to master branch)
2. Try to checkout a subbranch on the local (I used origin\Plane-4.4)

Checkout fails with this git error:

fatal: not a git repository: ../../.git/modules/modules/uavcan
fatal: could not reset submodule index

did you clone using the command given in the wiki?

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/your-github-userid/ardupilot

I don't think the PX4Firmware module is used anymore so I'm surprised that there are any errors related to this unless a very old version of AP is being used.
