Re: Submodule status inside nested submodule fails

I'm having the same issue. Did it ever get resolved, or is there a hack to
fix it, or is there some link I can track it on?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Using MSysGit 1.7.9 on Win7 (64 bit), I have a repo with the following 
structure: 

main/ 
  src/ 
  ext/ 
    submodule/ 
       modules/module1 
       modules/module2 

submodule is... a submodule, having itself submodules. 

When I query submodule status --recursive in main/, no problem. 
But when I query submodule status in  ext/submodule, I get error "You need
to 
run this command from the toplevel of the working tree.", which is a wrong 
error message. 

Searching for message in git source I found the test triggering the
message to 
be an empty result for "git rev-parse --show-cdup". Running the command in 
ext/submodule strangely returns the *absolute* path of ext/submodule,
which 
should not happen because this command returns path of current dir
relative to 
the containing working tree. 

Is there something wrong with my repo? Or have I found a bug? Any help 
appreciated

Things are OK if I run the commands from Windows' CMD, but it fails when
run in
MinGW shell, so I believe the problem is related to MsysGit, discussion
follows
up on their list.
