Title
Body
I have a git repository with an attached working tree that I'm pushing to a bare repo on a remote. The repository includes a submodule. At the remote end : I check out the repo to a working tree git checkout -f having set GIT-DIR and GIT-WORK-TREE env vars. In the working tree I now see all the expected files and an empty directory for the submodule ('MySubmodule'). I then do: git submodule init git submodule update This errors with a message like: working tree '../../workTree/' already exists Clone of 'git@github.com:user/MySubmodule.git' into submodule path 'MySubmodule' failed The empty submodule directory has now also 'vanished' from the working tree... I'm not sure where I'm going wrong with this, basically I just want to check out the submodule files as I would with 'git submodule update'.
