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 :( )
