Hi,

I can reliably trigger a failed assertion in Git 2.4.3 by performing the following steps:

mkdir a; cd a git init touch a.txt git add a.txt git commit -m 'a' cd ..

mkdir b; cd b git init git submodule add ../a cd a rm -fr .git git add .

This results in: git: pathspec.c:317: prefix_pathspec: Assertion `item->nowildcard_len <= item->len && item->prefix <= item->len' failed.

Known issue, but no one stepped up to fix it yet

Oh, I see. Sorry for the duplicate report.

No, it's actually good. It reminded me about this bug again. Maybe I'll do something about it :)
