Hi all,

Starting with git v2.7.0,

submodules two levels deep get a .git contents of:
 gitdir: /absolute/path/name

This breaks repos that are moved or copied:

fatal: Not a git repository:
/tmp/tmp.gIyxKWIC26/repo/.git/modules/sub/modules/sub
fatal: 'git status --porcelain' failed in submodule sub

The script https://gitlab.com/snippets/17301 reproduces the issue.

git bisect points to commit ee8838d1.

thanks,

I think that this is $gmane/290491

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/290491

and queued as sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix topic,
currently included on the 'pu' branch.  Can you try it and see if it
fixes your issue?

Thanks.
