I am attempting to add a few submodules to my .vim/bundles directory, and when I attempt to add this particular repo Git gives me a strange error I've never seen before:
$ git submodule add -f git://github.com/derekwyatt/vim-scala.git .vim/bundle/vim-scala
fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born
Unable to checkout submodule '.vim/bundle/vim-scala'
Any idea what can cause this?
If I clone the same repo to a test directory (not through the submodule command), it works fine, and creates the expected files.
