Just a heads-up. This took me by surprise. And I suppose it will be
the same even if the subrepo is a real subproject.
To illustrate:
(
mkdir super && cd super
git init
echo 0 > a; git add a; git commit -m0
echo 2 >> a; git commit -a -m1
echo 3 >> a; git commit -a -m2
cp -a .git sub
cd sub
git --bare config --bool core.bare true
git repack -a -d
)
I think what is happening is that in that bare repository 'sub',
the sequence we find where a git repository is is defined so
that the current directory is checked way after "one of my
parents with .git/ subdirectory" check.
If super (a directory) has a subproject sub as its subproject,
then you would be copying .git to sub/.git, not sub/, wouldn't
you? What are you trying to achieve?
