Hey,
I am really enjoying uv because I think it's the best Python package manager around. However, I have one problem which keeps me from using it at the moment.
I might have found a bug or I am doing something wrong.
Let's assume I have a repo mylib with a .gitmodule file that looks like this:
[submodule "helpers"]
path = helpers
url = ../../utilities/helpers.git
The repo is hosted on a private Gitlab instance.
I will run
uv pip install 'mylib@git+ssh://git@gitlab.mycompany.de/.../mylib.git'
This fails with the following error:
├─▶ Git operation failed
╰─▶ process didn't exit successfully: `/usr/bin/git submodule update --recursive --init` (exit status: 1)
--- stderr
Submodule 'helpers' (/Users/ebuser/.cache/uv/git-v0/utilities/helpers.git) registered for path 'helpers'
fatal: repository '/Users/ebuser/.cache/uv/git-v0/utilities/helpers.git' does not exist

Failed to clone 'helpers' a second time, aborting
I am assuming that uv interprets the .gitmodule references with the relative paths as local references. However, when I clone the library manually and run git submodule update --recursive --init it works fine.
When I run pip install git+ssh://git@gitlab.mycompany.de/.../mylib.git, it works just fine.
I also never had problems with poetry and this library.
I am a bit lost here. Can you give me a hint if I'm doing something wrong and how I can fix it?
