Subject: Bug: submodules of submodules use absolute gitdir in .git file (instead of relative)
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 13:16:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0d924a0671b642d2b8ba79af8d4fa0d7@rohde-schwarz.com> (raw)


Hello everyone,

$ git submodule foreach cat .git

...shows that the gitdir registered in the .git file of submodules is relative. But if you run 

$ git submodule foreach --recursive cat .git

...shows that submodules of submodules (if you have any) have an absolute gitdir starting with a slash.

1) Can you confirm that behavior?
2) Am I right that this is a bug (at least because of inconsistency)?


Regards,
Robert
