Do you refer to cloning a repository in another repository, and running `git add path` (no trailing /) so that a gitlink is created without a .gitmodules file? Because that's not what Heiko is referring to. What this is about that when doing `git add path/` (with trailing /), git will add the files of the cloned repository to the parent repo, and basically ignore that it's another repository. And I guess no one complained because it looked like a feature rather than a bug. Kevin
