The Clone and Go will not work with the repository as is

Consider the file .gitmodules in bitweaver.git
http://github.com/bitweaver/bitweaver/blob/master/.gitmodules

Each of the submodules references another bitweaver project using the ssh git@ protocol.

for example:

<?php
[submodule "kernel"]
path kernel
url 
git@github.com:bitweaver/kernel.git
?>


the git@ protocol, which is the one which requires an ssh key for access, will only work for contributors to bitweaver.git. This means for all but about 3 people git submodule update will fail, as they will be denied access to reading the submodule repositories.

The solution is to change each of the submodule references to use a public read url. This actually happened to be the state of the bitweaver project a few commits earlier:

http://github.com/bitweaver/bitweaver/commit/6e45575a8bd49f05cd17708c96a4133ed910f994

The git@ hooks are obviously desirable for core developers, but not much use for everyone else. It may be better to make the master branch reference the public read urls, and then have a dev branch which using the git@ references.

This has been fixed. Default is now git:// and a DEV branch was added for git@ access.
