Hi,
in my trial to use a submodule, it seems that I messed up my repo.

I've put both repos at http://git.koch.ro clone url is http://git.koch.ro/git/REPONAME

I wanted to have the git-php-wrapper repo as a submodule inside wigit, which did not work at all. I always ended up with a git-php-wrapper subdir and a .git inside it, but no workdir files.

Now I wanted to start from scratch, to clone wigit again to my local machine. But when I try git clone http://git.koch.ro/git/wigit it says: Initialized empty Git repository in /var/checkouts/wigit/.git/ warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

Is there a way to resque my wigit repo? And how to get the submodule working afterwards? 

Best regards,
