I guess it was fixed in 1.7.10, but some stuff in the\nconfig files had to be rewritten during the new clone to fix the issue b/c\njust switching to 1.7.10 and trying to use the existing repo still had the\nsame issue.\n\nThanks for all the work you guys do!\nDAVE\n\n--\nView this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Submodule-status-inside-nested-submodule-fails-tp7314413p7545109.html\nSent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.\n"}]}
