Description Sascha Scholz CLA 2012-01-13 06:50:38 EST 
In case a submodule points to a path relative to the master Git repo, the SubmoduleUpdateCommand fails because it tries to access the relative path starting from the submodule repo and not from the master repo.

msysgit resolves all relative paths when submodule init is called. I'll upload a patch that solves the issue for the SubmoduleInitCommand (at least for my use-case). Due to lack of knowledge it's for sure not perfect, but may be used as a base for the real implementation.
