This is due to a small bug in git-submodule.sh. In the
resolve_relative_url() function, when repeatedly unwrapping '../'s from
$url in the while loop, the line remoteurl="${remoteurl%/*}" removes
everything _after_ the last slash, which does not work for the
git@xxxxxxxxxx:xxx part of your URL.
This should be relatively easy to fix, although maybe not as
straightforwardly trivial as it might seem at first sight.
I don't have the time to look into this now, so feel free to take a stab
at it.
Have fun! :)
