Hi. I have a git repository where I include several submodules. This seemed to work fine until the server I push to got (finally) updated from 1.5.something to 1.6.4. Now I get an error if I try to push. The issue is easily reproducible with a minimal repository for me: Creating an empty repository on server: flichtenheld@git-test:~$ git version git version 1.6.4 <---- Directly compiled from git flichtenheld@git-test:~$ mkdir test.git flichtenheld@git-test:~$ cd test.git/ flichtenheld@git-test:~/test.git$ git init --bare Initialized empty Git repository in /home/flichtenheld/test.git/ Creating repository on client: frl@dhcp-rnd-054:~/tmp$ git version git version 1.6.3.3 <--- From Debian Package frl@dhcp-rnd-054:~/tmp$ mkdir test frl@dhcp-rnd-054:~/tmp$ cd test/ frl@dhcp-rnd-054:~/tmp/test$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/frl/tmp/test/.git/ Add a random submodule: frl@dhcp-rnd-054:~/tmp/test$ git submodule add git://repo.or.cz/git-browser.git subdir/git-browser Initialized empty Git repository in /home/frl/tmp/test/subdir/git-browser/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 131, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (67/67), done. remote: Total 131 (delta 63), reused 131 (delta 63) Receiving objects: 100% (131/131), 105.98 KiB, done.
