Re: submodule init problem

This problem doesn't seem to occur if I rename my submodules (but I
really don't want to):

rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ mkdir moduleA
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ mkdir moduleB
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev$ cd moduleA
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/moduleA$ echo "foo" > moduleAtop.v
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/moduleA$ ~/bin/git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/moduleA$ ~/bin/git add moduleAtop
rnite@linuskarl:~/git_dev/moduleA$ ~/bin/git commit -a -m"imitial commit"

Hello,

I encountered this message in "git submodule init":
"No url found for submodule path '<submodule>' in .gitmodules"

But when I look at .gitmodules, the <submodule> url is there.
Subsequently, I cannot do "git submodule update"

Here's the full log:

[submodule "flashboard"]
        path = flashboard

I can add more submodules, but the message stays the same after "git
submodule init" and I cannot do "git submodule update"
