Not at all!

This is what I did.  I cloned msysgit.git, which contains one submodule.  
To initialise that, I did "git submodule init" and "git submodule update".  
It went and cloned the submodule.  Fine.

Then I committed in the submodule, a well-needed fix.

If I now go to the superproject again, and say "git submodule status", it 
will not find the newest commit, and complain that it cannot access that 
object.

Ciao,
Dscho
