Hello, I encountered this message in "git submodule init": "No url found for submodule path '<submodule>' in .gitmodules" But when I look at .gitmodules, the <submodule> url is there. Subsequently, I cannot do "git submodule update" Here's the full log: rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/myproj$ ~/bin/git --version git version 1.5.3.rc2.g11308 rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ mkdir flash rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ mkdir flashboard rnite@linuskarl :~/git_dev$ cd flash rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flash$ echo "foo" > flash.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flash$ ~/bin/git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flash$ ~/bin/git add flash.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flash$ ~/bin/git commit -a -m "initial commit of flash module" Created initial commit c19874e: initial commit of flash module 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 flash.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flash$ cd ../flashboard rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flashboard$ echo "foo" > flashboard.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flashboard$ ~/bin/git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flashboard$ ~/bin/git add flashboard.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flashboard$ ~/bin/git commit -a -m "initial commit of flashboard module" Created initial commit 45dff87: initial commit of flashboard module 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 flashboard.v rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/flashboard$ cd .. rnite@linuskarl :~/git_dev$ mkdir myproj rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ cd myproj rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/myproj$ ~/bin/git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/myproj$ ~/bin/git submodule add ~/git_dev/flash Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rnite/git_dev/myproj/flash/.git/ remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 3 objects.
