As described in [1], git-submodule is not correctly working with detached work 
trees.
git-submodule fails to add submodules, as it is confused by GIT_DIR and 
GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when it tries to work in the submodule.

Please see the upstream fix [2]:
be8779f git-submodule: work with GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE

Could we think about integrating it for the git version used in wheezy?
