"Could not perform submodule update" after jenkins git update

 

This is the error I'm getting after updating the git version on my jenkins server:

 > git.exe config --get submodule.module.url # timeout=10

hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git.exe config --get submodule.my-module.url" returned status code 1:

...

Caused: java.io.IOException: Could not perform submodule update

...

Finished: FAILURE

My solution was opening the .gitmodules file (a hidden file, found in the repo root) and adding "'.git" to the end of the url.

e.g.:

[submodule "my-module"]

path = my-module

url = git@bitbucket.org:name/my-module.git
