Tbh, not sure, but if you know you have nothing important in
libraries/parallel, 

  rm -rf libraries/parallel

and retry a 'git submodule update --init'

This is essentially the suggested course of action according to

  http://www.gostai.com/downloads/urbi-sdk-2.0/doc/urbi-sdk.htmldir/faq.html#x22-10400014.1.4

and other results you may get if you google for that error
