correct

The submodules don't even exist in server.
okay, let me continue the example, then:
vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client2$ git clone ../client/main Initialized empty Git repository in /home/vmiklos/git/test/client2/main/.git/ remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 11 objects. remote: Deltifying 11 objects... remote: 100% (11/11) done Indexing 11 objects... 100% (11/11) done Resolving 2 deltas... 100% (2/2) done remote: Total 11 (delta 2), reused 3 (delta 0) vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client2$ ls main/ vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client2$ cd ../client/main/ vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client/main$ git pull Already up-to-date. vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client/main$ cd libfoo vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client/main/libfoo$ git pull remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 5 objects. Result has 3 objects. remote: Deltifying 3 objects... 100% (3/3) done Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta remote: 0) Unpacking 3 objects... 100% (3/3) done * refs/remotes/origin/master: fast forward to branch 'master' of /home/vmiklos/git/test/server/libfoo/ old..new: 5979d36..07ceadb Updating 5979d36..07ceadb Fast forward libfoo.c | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client/main/libfoo$ cd ../../../client2/main vmiklos@vmobile:~/git/test/client2/main$ git submodule update
so the submodule exists now on the server and there would be something, to update in the submodule, but git submodule update seem not to do anything
thanks, - VMiklos
