Git unable to construct submodule's relative path

Git unable to construct submodule's relative path

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, All!

Checking out the https://gitlab.com/norganna-wow/all I've noticed a problem in
updating submodules after first init.
Inspecting the Git config area, I stumbled upon paths like

worktree = ../../../../../../../../../anrdaemon/Documents/Games/WoW/NorgannaAddons/auctioneer/Auc-Advanced

which is obviously wrong.
To begin with, there's not enough parent directories to fill the path, and
even if I correct the path to

worktree = ../../../../auctioneer/Auc-Advanced

the next run of "git submodule update --recursive --remote" trashes it again.

Works just fine for me.

Can you please explain, step-by-step, exactly what you're doing, what
commands you're running, what you're seeing, and how that differs from
what you expect to see?

For future reference, there's a good guide to providing useful
bug/problem reports at
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html, which is
linked from the Cygwin problem reporting guidance page at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
