Error while checking out git repository with submodules

I faced the same issue. Delete all submodules from their physical locations and try again:

git submodule update --init

git jenkins bitbucket git-submodules

The error has nothing to do with jenkins or bitbucket but a git misconfiguration. .git/config is not tracked, but .gitmodules is.

The path git@bitbucket.org:xxxx/xxx.git/sub2 should have made me notice the actual error, which was in .gitmodules:

[submodule "sub1"]    path = sub1    url = git@bitbucket.org:xxxx/sub1.git[submodule "sub2"]    path = sub2    url = ./sub2

It worked locally because of the different local configuration that is not tracked by git. Basically in .gitmodules, it should be only addresses.

I made the mistake when assembling the repository and using git submodule add sub2 on a local clone instead of checking it out entirely.
