Hi,

seems to be a bug: If adding a submodule from an https URL with a certificate issued by StartSSL (or even a private/self-signed one?) leads to the following error:

  $ git -c http.sslverify=false submodule add https://example.com/git/xxx.git
  Cloning into 'xxx'...
  fatal: unable to access 'https://example.com/git/xxx.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
  Clone of 'https://example.com/git/xxx.git' into submodule path 'xxx' failed

Performing a simple clone works well:

  $ git -c http.sslverify=false clone https://example.com/git/xxx.git
  Cloning into 'xxx'...
  Password for 'https://example.com':

Cheers,
  Gerd
