I can recreate the problem by doing: git co 7d6156fae8a398a3bd17af5a30b32a8bf6ec206a rm -rf jimtcl/ git clone https://repo.or.cz/jimtcl.git ./bootstrap git co master ./bootstrap ...failure here... If do: $ git co 7d6156fae8a398a3bd17af5a30b32a8bf6ec206a $ rm -rf jimtcl/ $ ./bootstrap + aclocal + libtoolize --automake --copy + autoconf + autoheader + automake --gnu --add-missing --copy Makefile.am:46: warning: wildcard $(srcdir: non-POSIX variable name Makefile.am:46: (probably a GNU make extension) Makefile.am:28: error: required directory ./jimtcl does not exist Makefile.am:29: error: required directory ./jimtcl does not exist then automake fails At this point I can do: $ mkdir jimtcl $ ./bootstrap or $ git submodule init $ git submodule update Submodule path 'jimtcl': checked out 'a9bf5975fd0f89974d689a2d9ebd0873c8d64787' Submodule path 'src/jtag/drivers/libjaylink': checked out 'f73ad5e667ae8b26a52b847c603fdadaabf302a6' $ cd jimtcl $ git remote -v origin https://github.com/msteveb/jimtcl.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/msteveb/jimtcl.git (push) $ cd .. $ grep jimtcl.git .gitmodules url = https://repo.or.cz/jimtcl.git $ Soo, the error only seems to appear if I have the old repo in dir jimtcl, if the dir is empty, there seems to be some redirection.
