Subject: Git submodule first time update with proxy
Message-ID: <CAHd499BEmV2zeosE9th59QTWPA0CPsU8eyHnONhsZqEb=bH+rA@mail.gmail.com>

I have a submodule using HTTP URL. I do this:

$ git submodule init MySubmodule
$ git submodule update MySubmodule

The 2nd command fails because the HTTP URL cannot be resolved, this is
because it requires a proxy. I have "http.proxy" setup properly in the
.git/config of my parent git repository, so I was hoping the submodule
update function would have a way to specify it to inherit the proxy
value from the parent config.

How can I set up my submodule?
