Thanks.  The slashes were going the wrong way, e.g.

	[submodule "Source\\Shared\\Aardvark"]
		url = //tx01fs01/SYS/dev/git/repositories/Aardvark.git

It did not work at all when I first created it with "submodule add", and manually fixed the .modules file.  I need to do the same with the entry in .git/config.

I did give the Unix-style slashes when I called submodule add.  It must have code somewhere that gets a listing or something from an OS primitive and didn't reverse it.  A bug in msys, or some code that bypasses the abstraction layer, or something in a Perl program, perhaps.
