Hey,

Is it possible to fork an external git repo into my private repo as a
submodule and have it be useful?

What I've done:

1. Cloned an external repo and added it to my local repo as a
submodule. When I pushed, an unclickable folder showing the submodule
appeared on GitHub.
2. Added my private url as remote. Pushed, but no change.
3. Made a change to the submodule and pushed. That seemed to work, but
when I pulled, then submodule updated from another repo, it failed
with:

Did you forget to 'git add'?
