Redo the prep work, the clone and now git submodule add dir0/dir1/init (i.e. don't expect dir0/dir1/init to be the clone of ./init, that was just a shortcut for the test. Expect it to be a clone of "something, somewhere") [~/tmp/test]% git-submodule add dir0/dir1/init Initialize init/.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/doudou/tmp/test/init/.git/ [~/tmp/test]% git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: .gitmodules # new file: init # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # dir0/ What it is supposed to do (according to the documentation) is register dir0/dir1/init as the submodule, not clone it and register init/.
