When you trying to add submodule, that already has submodule, it craches. For example you could try: git clone --recursive http://github.com/Exsul/al_server

Its happens because git dont create `modules` directory. al_server/.git/modules

Workaround for it wont work to: git submodule update --init It init only first level of subrepos. When you do: cd chat git submodule update --init It crashes cause missed `modules` directory for submodule: al_server/.git/modules/chat/modules

Final workaround is create this directory and try last command again.

Which version of Git were you using? I was not able to reproduce this with 1.8.3-rc3.
