support relative paths in git submodule paths

XMLWordPrintable

      When we have created a submodule using the absolute URL, the submodules are usually checked out correctly but if this settings is changes to use the relative paths, it fails with eerrors like:

      My .gitmoduless looks like:

      [submodule "new"]
	path = new
	url = ../new.git

      This got translated to d:/atlassian/BAMBOO/atlassian-bamboo-4.4.5/HOME/xml-data/build-dir/new.git instead of https://github.com/smaiyaki/new.git. I understand that the submodule does not yet support the relative path and we believe this will be a good alternative for users.

      workaround

      1. Disable submodules
      2. crate a script task right after the checkout task to run the following commands 
        git remote add origin https://github.com/smaiyaki/new.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
git remote remove origin

      Another painful workaround would be to add additional checkout tasks for each of the submodule
