`azdev setup` command looks for git repositories in various cases (e.g. install azure-cli from source). It is a valid use case that the source repos are not standalone git repositories but they are checked out as git submodules. In this case, the .git entry is not a directory but it is a file with reference to the parent repository. For example: $ cat .git gitdir: ../../.git/modules/src/azure-cli To support this use case, the setup.py:_check_repo() function has been extended to check for file existence not only for directory existence.
