It looks like as if submodule configs ("submodule.*") for submodules with upper case names are ignored. The test cases shows that skipping a submodule during a recursive clone seems not to work. Signed-off-by: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx> --- I observed the bug on Windows, macOS, and Linux and at least on v2.11.0 and v2.11.1: https://travis-ci.org/larsxschneider/git/builds/201828672 Right now I have no time to fix it but I might be able to look into it next week (if no one else tackles it before that).
