Not on two machines, on single machine but with two OSes Windows + Linux + shared 'work' partition :) So both Windows and Linux use same repo clone that is stored on a 'work' partition. But due to those absolute paths, it gives '/cygdrive/d/work' on windows and '/media/work' on linux. Thus I have to keep 2 copies of each repository that uses submodules (and that is very inconvenient :( )
