Hi all,
Starting with git v2.7.0,
submodules two levels deep get a .git contents of: gitdir: /absolute/path/name
This breaks repos that are moved or copied:
fatal: Not a git repository: /tmp/tmp.gIyxKWIC26/repo/.git/modules/sub/modules/sub fatal: 'git status --porcelain' failed in submodule sub
The script https://gitlab.com/snippets/17301 reproduces the issue.
git bisect points to commit ee8838d1.
thanks,
