Hi, I've recently upgraded to git from 2.20.1 to 2.21 and now my projects with submodules show a access error when pulling recursively. I have a couple of projects on gitlab.com that use two or more submodules. The .gitmodules file is slightly changed for gitlab.com compatibility. The paths are relative as described in: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/git_submodules.html Before updating git I could pull the submodules recursively within the main repository. Now I get a "Could not access submodule 'foo'" error. Example: $ git -v git version 2.20.1 $ git pull --recurse-submodules=true Fetching submodule 'foo' Fetching submodule 'bar' Already up to date. $ git -v git version 2.21.0 $ git pull --recurse-submodules=true Fetching submodule 'foo' Fetching submodule 'bar' Could not access submodule 'foo' Could not access submodule 'bar' This only happens in projects with two or more submodules. A project with one submodule does work as expected. Additionally I have a password protected ssh key if this is relevant. $ uname -a Linux box 4.19.28-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 10 08:32:42 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux Is this a regression in git or is there a error on my end/gitlab.com? My workaround currently is to downgrade to git v 2.20. I've already filed a bug with gitlab.com: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/58891 Thanks & best regards Moritz
