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

Nobody can without knowing which version of Git you are using. I
suspect that we had discussed and addressed something related to
nested submodule's "gitdir" pointer in not-so-distant past.

Yeah there was a period in time where we had this bug.
(Or is it a different bug?)
See 90c0011619 (submodule: use absolute path for computing
relative path connecting, 2016-12-08), which is included in 2.12.
