+Hi,
+I already have told about that in a comment here <http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/submodule_path_problem/#comment-e86330d15b714a41a07b6548fbc79bb2>, but I am not sure it will be seen.
+
+Then here is an official bug report.
+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I have a problem with submodules when the git repository is not a submodule everywhere.
+
+For instance, if A is a git annexed repository and B another git repository. If B adds A as submodules. The symlinks added in A as submodule won't work in the original A.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+    # creating the master repository
+    mkdir annex_master
+    cd annex_master/
+    git init
+    # hack: adding a file to create the master branch
+    touch start
+    git add start
+    git commit -m "start"
+    cd ..
+    # create another repository
+    mkdir annex_sub
+    cd annex_sub/
+    git init
+    # hack: adding a file to create the master branch
+    touch start
+    git add start
+    git commit -m "start"
+    # it is a annexed repository
+    git annex init sub
+    # add the other repository as submodule of the master one
+    cd ../annex_master/
+    git submodule add ../annex_sub/ module
+    cd module/
+    git annex init sub_module
+    git annex sync origin
+    # add an annexed file
+    echo test > test
+    git annex add
+    git annex sync
+    # go back to the origin repository
+    cd ../../annex_sub/
+    git annex sync
+    ls -l
+This returns test -> ../.git/modules/module/annex/objects/w8/pv/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2/SHA256E-s5--f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
+
+Actually, the file committed is correct. But the fact it points to '../.git/modules/module/...' makes the link work only if the repository is also a submodule and if this submodule is also located in the modules folder in the parent git repository.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
