[boost] [git] confusion setting moduler-boost to 'master'

Somehow my local modular-boost is confused. I have set the top-level to 
'master' and each of the sub-modules to 'master'. Yet git still shows it 
wants to commit each of the submodules at the library level as all are 
marked dirty.

So I try:

git reset --hard master
git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hard master

But still the end result is that git has marked each submodule as 
'dirty' and needing to commit.

Anybody have any ideas how I straighten out this mess ?
