Hello there,
Using MSysGit 1.7.9 on Win7 (64 bit), I have a repo with the following
structure:
main/
src/
ext/
submodule/
modules/module1
modules/module2
submodule is... a submodule, having itself submodules.
When I query submodule status --recursive in main/, no problem.
But when I query submodule status in ext/submodule, I get error "You need to
run this command from the toplevel of the working tree.", which is a wrong
error message.
Searching for message in git source I found the test triggering the message to
be an empty result for "git rev-parse --show-cdup". Running the command in
ext/submodule strangely returns the *absolute* path of ext/submodule, which
should not happen because this command returns path of current dir relative to
the containing working tree.
Is there something wrong with my repo? Or have I found a bug? Any help
appreciated
Charles

Things are OK if I run the commands from Windows' CMD, but it fails when run in
MinGW shell, so I believe the problem is related to MsysGit, discussion follows
up on their list.

I'm having the same issue. Did it ever get resolved, or is there a hack to
fix it, or is there some link I can track it on?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Without having looked at the code itself this smells like an issue with
the newly introduced gitlink files and git rev-parse --show-cdup not
taking this into account.
I will have a look at this issue.
Cheers Heiko

Actually the issue went away once I upgraded from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10, and
re-cloned my repo. I guess it was fixed in 1.7.10, but some stuff in the
config files had to be rewritten during the new clone to fix the issue b/c
just switching to 1.7.10 and trying to use the existing repo still had the
same issue.
Thanks for all the work you guys do!
