They're the only ones who can know what they mean and how to solve it. cmn ``` ## salmanmanekia, 2012-06-29 07:18 Subject: Re: Git Submodule would not work.

But can you tell me two things: 1: How did you interpret that it was related to hook. Can you explain the error a bit 2: Am i creating the submodule correctly. Also, shall i create a new branch for it and init the submoduel there or is it a good idea to do this in master. -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Git-Submodule-would-not-work-The-push-does-not-work-tp7562323p7562328.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ```
