Correction:

I have to deinit the submodule then init again, then the submodule dir
is created (but empty). When I run the git config command inside the
submodule directory, it silently returns and does not indicate
failure, however the final git submodule update command shows failure
to access the remote and then subsequently the submodule empty
directory is removed by Git.
