This is my submodule redmine_dashboard config file:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
Yes, you should be able to update the config file with a relative path. You should also update the worktree dir in the .git
file in the submodule root to be a relative path back to that module.
I believe this is fixed in (at least) the most current version of git (1.7.10.1). I can't seem to find a changelog, so I have no idea when it got fixed. I was able to have git fix the issue by deleting both the submodule and the folder in the .git/modules
folder and then redoing git submodule init
and git submodule update
.
