.git folder for Submodules
git, github
Solution
You have got the versions the other way around?
The change was introduced in `1.7.8`:
When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init", the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside $GIT_DIR/modules// directory of the superproject and referenced via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the submodule in the tree without re-cloning.

Problem
In one version of git, we have (git version `1.7.4.4`): ``` ProjectRoot/.git/modules/SubmoduleX/config ``` However in another computer we have (git version `1.7.12.4 (Apple Git-37)`): ``` ProjectRoot/SubmoduleX/.git/config ``` Why the discrepancy? When was this change done?
