+### Please describe the problem.
+When creating a simple "parent" git repo, creating another "child" repo with an annexed file, then adding the child repo as a submodule of the parent, the symlink path of the large file contained by the submodule is incorrect.
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Here are the exact steps for this simple use case (I have removed unrelated output for brevity, and setting up the repos is error-free):
+
+# Create "parent" repo
+$ mkdir parent
+$ cd parent/
+$ git init
+$ touch parent_start
+$ git add parent_start
+$ git commit -a -m 'New parent repo'
+$ cd ../
+
+# Create "child" repo
+$ mkdir child
+$ cd child/
+$ git init
+$ touch child_start
+$ git add child_start
+$ git commit -a -m 'New child repo'
+$ git annex init
+$ cp ~/Desktop/some_big_file child_big_file
+$ git annex add child_big_file
+$ git commit -a -m 'Added big file'
+$ cd ../
+
+# Add "child" repo as a submodule of "parent" repo
+$ cd parent/
+$ git submodule add ../child ./submodule
+$ git commit -m 'Added submodule'
+
+# Try to get annexed file
+$ cd submodule/
+$ git annex init
+$ git annex get
+$ ls ./
