Hi,
$ uname -a
Linux witiko 4.3.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.5-1 (2016-02-06) x86_64
GNU/Linux
$ git --version
git version 2.7.0
I tend to make `.git` a symlink, when I need to maintain several Git
repositories inside a single directory. This was always transparent to Git, but
problems arose, when working with submodules:
$ mkdir -p .repos/repoA
$ ln -s .repos/repoA .git
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/tmp.q3hkme6nm4/.repos/repoA/
$ git submodule add https://github.com/witiko/git-parallel
Cloning into 'git-parallel'...

Resolving deltas: 100% (120/120), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
fatal: Could not chdir to '../../../git-parallel': No such file or

Is this a bug, or is the ability to symlink `.git` just a happy coincidence?
Best Regards,
