Trying it\nnow I see the error in my thinking\n\n $ git submodule init bar\n Submodule 'bar' (bar.git) registered for path 'bar'\n\nI thought this meant that bar/.git (and .git/modules/bar) had been\ncreated but as you point out I was wrong.\n\n> Correction:\n>\n> I have to deinit the submodule then init again, then the submodule dir\n> is created (but empty).\n\nThat's the default state of an uninitialized submodule.\n\n> When I run the git config command inside the\n> submodule directory, it silently returns and does not indicate\n> failure, however the final git submodule update command shows failure\n> to access the remote and then subsequently the submodule empty\n> directory is removed by Git.\n\nSo it looks like the only solution to your problem right now is to use\ngit config --global for your proxy configuration.\n"}]}
