To reproduce, run 'git submodule' from within a bare repo. Result:
$ git submodule
fatal: $program_name cannot be used without a working tree.
Looks like the intent was for $program_name to be interpolated.
Which version of git do you use?
$ git version
git version 2.11.0

As an aside, I sent a message a few days ago about a segfault when
working with a filesystem with direct_io on, but it appears not to
have made it to the archives on marc.info. Am I perhaps still
greylisted?
Both emails show up in my mailbox (subscribed to the mailing list),
so I think that just nobody answered your first email as the answer
may be non trivial.
Thanks for the confirmation.
