yes.

Yes the actual output is wrong, too.
But that is not because Git is wrong, but the test suite is.
test_must_fail git -C super submodule update >../actual &&
contains 2 errors:
* we are interested in stderr, so make it 2>
* the -C switch doesn't apply to redirection. (obviously!)
So if you have run the test suite in a normal setup, you may have
a file "t/actual" which is empty. This is scary as it managed to break
out of the test suite and overwrote a potential file in your git.git.
I'll send a patch on top of the one under discussion momentarily.
Thanks,
Stefan
