Works fine here... $ git --version git version 1.5.3.6 $ ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=/home/padraig/git/gnulib $ git submodule status 8a4dc70a0d4efd5f53abb1f7a1c24fe67915f96b gnulib (v0.0-1958-g8a4dc70) cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
