Description Timo A. Hummel

GIT clone fails. I used "import git repository", then entered "git://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2.git" as address. It checks out, but at the end it shows "Cloning Git Repository failed".

I'm using 0.8.4, but the bug tracker doesn't let me choose that version.

This is because we don't support submodules yet...

If you try this using a 0.9 build, you should see a message indicating this.
