Ha, that problem. Rrrr sorry about that. I'm in a catch 22 here, since I enabled support for http:// cloning the git:// people with old trees and old instructions have problems.
Here is what to do: - For new trees do []$ git clone --recursive git://git.open-osd.org/osc-osd/.git
Note the "/.git" at the end. If not supplied then the base tree will clone but the tgt submodule will fail. This is because for (dumb) http: clones you must supply the "/.git" at the end for it to be found and then a "./tgt" submodule path will fail. So I had to do a "../tgt" as path for submodule. When you clone as above all is fine but if you clone with out the "/.git" the server will be smart enough to find your tree by automatically appending the "/.git" directory. But the submodule command is no as smart and fails to try the silently added "/.git" directory
If you already cloned or you have an old tree. You can manually edit the osc-osd/.git/config file to: diff -Nurp .git/config.old .git/config --- .git/config.old 2010-09-12 13:24:59.218017002 +0200 +++ .git/config 2010-09-12 13:24:44.283784834 +0200

But if I revert to the old way then http:// access will not work at all. This way, I sacrifice git:// guys a bit but they still have a way to manage. (One solution I did not try is having bare trees at server but that will change every one's config files as well) Boaz
