(This happens with 0.7.1; yet unavailable in version picker)

When I try to clone an existing repository I get a NullPointerException somewhere late in the process:

Detail: I try to clone a repo that holds a single project. It is a nonbare repo (the bare ones are out of reach w/o ssh & ProxyCommand). Access is via file:/// url, and the repo has submodules defined. I suspect the latter to be the cause.

(I would not mind if the submodule is simply ignored.)
