| 9 | * Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but |
| 10 | we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git |
| 11 | clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has |
| 12 | such a submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such |
| 13 | malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash). |
