works for me :)

backgrounder:
I'm currently importing a large cvs repo (multiple projects, shared
modules, shared environment) into cvs-tracking git "superprojects".
Incremental import of the cvs modules using periodic invocations of
"git cvsimport" seems to be working, although there were some messages
(I suspect cvsps - will post later).  I was adding modules into the
superprojects when I hit this submodule init issue.

It will also be nice to have some kind of "superproject browser" in gitk..
