-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.
-
-I tried playing with making the repository direct and then indirect, hoping that would fix the symlinks, but it did not work.
-### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
-
- $ git-annex version
- git-annex version: 4.20130802
- ...
-
- $ git --version
- git version 1.8.3.2
-
- $ uname -a
- Linux konixwork 3.9-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.9.8-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-
-### Please provide any additional information below.

-[[!tag confirmed]]
-
-> [[fixed|done]] -- with a current version of git, git-annex now supports
-> [[/submodules]]. NB: Filesystem must support symlinks, or this won't
-> work.
