I do actually like that submodule is hoisted out of the scripts but as a matter of fact it seems that the openembedded folks relied on the "submodule--helper list" call and with later git versions that doesn't work anymore.

https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/commit/6d9364e5f3535954f65cbbc694ee7933ac1d664f

At the end of the day it's kinda their fault to depend on the submodule--helper but it does hinder adoption of new git versions for people using openembedded.

Cheers,
