Hi brian,

I checked it by replacing the printf line in my example with this one: printf '#!/bin/bash\necho GIT_DIR is: $GIT_DIR\ncd git-submodulerepo\necho Git says my files are:\ngit ls-files\necho ---------------\necho Filesystem says my files are:\nls -w1\necho ---------------\n' > .git/hooks/post-commit

In both hooks, GIT_DIR is empty, so this shouldn't be the problem. Thanks anyways.
