[TYPO3-dev] Git checkout tag with submodules

Hello,

Probably a newbie question but I have a little worry when cloning a fresh repository. I can not 
checkout a tag without getting an error.

# git clone --recursive git://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core.git typo3_src
# git tag
# git checkout TYPO3_4-5-3

ERROR MESSAGE
=============

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
         typo3/sysext/extbase/ChangeLog.txt
         ...
         ...
Aborting

What is missing? Shall try something with "--force"? Didn't find information on the Wiki.

# git --version
git version 1.7.4


Fabien
