Hello,

I have a submodule set up with a gitfile which points to an absolute path.

Trying to access the superproject from the network, running 'git diff --ignore-submodules' yields 'fatal: Not a git repository: <submodule-absolute-path>'.

It should really ignore submodules when requested...

Yes. I can reproduce that here and will look into it.
