I don't know if this is the git config for tde or me that is causing the git
clone of the tde tree to fail to clone the needed admin, cmake and other
submodules when doing a clone of the entire project.

  I cloned using:

git clone http://drankin@.../scm/git/tde
./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean

  I have since used:

git pull
./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean
git submodule update --init

  git reports the tree is up to date:
10:00 archangel:/dat_f/tde> git pull
Already up-to-date.

  However, working on tqtinterface, the tqtinterface/admin and
tqtinterface/cmake directories are empty -- and tqtinterface will not build.
Comparing what I see browsing the git repository online and what I have locally,
there is no question files are missing.

  For example, browsing:

http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/admin/tree
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/cmake/tree

both show fully populated directories on the server. However looking at the
local copy I have after cloning -- I have nothing in either directory:

10:00 archangel:/dat_f/tde> ls -al main/dependencies/tqtinterface/{admin,cmake}
main/dependencies/tqtinterface/admin:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 Feb  8 18:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 david david 4096 Feb  8 18:47 ..

main/dependencies/tqtinterface/cmake:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 Feb  8 18:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 david david 4096 Feb  8 18:47 ..

  How is this possible? Is it me or git? Are there other command needed to
activate the submodules after cloning the entire project and running the
switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script?

  Also, when I run the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script, I get the
following error:

This script can only be run from a top level git directory.  Exiting...
Stopping at 'experimental'; script returned non-zero status.

  Now when I try and run the update_all_submodules script, I get errors like:

fatal: Not a git repository: /dat_e/tde/.git/modules/experimental

error: pathspec 'main/dependencies/tqtinterface/cmake' did not match any file(s)

  Can I fix this, or do I just need to pull another complete copy of the tree?
