### Please describe the problem. When creating a simple "parent" git repo, creating another "child" repo with an annexed file, then adding the child repo as a submodule of the parent, the symlink path of the large file contained by the submodule is incorrect. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Here are the exact steps for this simple use case (I have removed unrelated output for brevity, and setting up the repos is error-free): # Create "parent" repo $ mkdir parent $ cd parent/ $ git init $ touch parent_start $ git add parent_start $ git commit -a -m 'New parent repo' $ cd ../ # Create "child" repo $ mkdir child $ cd child/ $ git init $ touch child_start $ git add child_start $ git commit -a -m 'New child repo' $ git annex init $ cp ~/Desktop/some_big_file child_big_file $ git annex add child_big_file $ git commit -a -m 'Added big file' $ cd ../ # Add "child" repo as a submodule of "parent" repo $ cd parent/ $ git submodule add ../child ./submodule $ git commit -m 'Added submodule' # Try to get annexed file $ cd submodule/ $ git annex init $ git annex get $ ls ./ -rw-r--r-- .git lrwxr-xr-x child_big_file -> .git/annex/objects/F5/f2/SHA256E-s1117253--ce17632dfd9c61a0a8c1384d25fb3a8a197f8056f224e15fbcad89904a82c5fd/SHA256E-s1117253--ce17632dfd9c61a0a8c1384d25fb3a8a197f8056f224e15fbcad89904a82c5fd -rw-r--r-- child_start # As you can see above, the child_big_file symlink path is incorrect (the ".git/annex/..." location is not a directory, and should instead be "../.git/modules/submodule/annex/...") # Show the actual location of the annexed file $ cd ../ $ ls .git/modules/submodule/annex/objects/F5/f2/SHA256E-s1117253--ce17632dfd9c61a0a8c1384d25fb3a8a197f8056f224e15fbcad89904a82c5fd -r--r--r-- SHA256E-s1117253--ce17632dfd9c61a0a8c1384d25fb3a8a197f8056f224e15fbcad89904a82c5fd ### What version of git-annex are you using?
