"git clone --recursive" does not seem to suffer from the same problem at clone time, but will still fail to add recursive submodules. Hmm, I don't understand how that is different from what t7407 does, it uses "git submodule update --init --recursive" in to populate recursive submodules in a freshly cloned repository whose path contains a space (in the trash directory name) in test number 8. Does the git test suite succeed for you? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
