Hmm, I get the following error at this stage:

--- cut ---
$> git push
fatal: You are not currently on a branch.
To push the history leading to the current (detached HEAD)
state now, use

    git push origin HEAD:<name-of-remote-branch>
--- cut ---

I have no idea why the submodules tend to become an unnamed branch
instead of master.

Norbert, Stefan, I hope that you will somehow sort it out. I still hope
that I will not need to read any huge amount of git documentation to be
able to commit :-)
