Question

I have a repository on github:

[e-mail]:daviddoria/InteractiveImageGraphCutSegmentation.git

It has several submodules. When I clone it (on linux) and then do 'git submodule update --init --recursive', everything works fine.

However, a friend of mine on windows gets an error:

"fatal: Not a git repository: ../../../../..//d/Repo/InteractiveImageGraphCutSegm" . 

Does anyone know what would cause that? I tried changing the submodule URLs (in .gitmodules) to all of the different protocols, but the errors persist.

Answer 1

It was a actually a bug in msysgit. I believe it has been fixed in master.
