Disallowed submodule url

[pliski]

As in ThrowTheSwitch/CMock#496 (comment) , executing as suggested in the README.md:

git clone https://github.com/throwtheswitch/cexception.git

return this error:

error: object xxxx: gitmodulesUrl: disallowed submodule url: https://github.com:throwtheswitch/unity.git

It is complaining that the url is malformed, should probably be:

https://github.com/throwtheswitch/unity.git

instead of:

https://github.com:throwtheswitch/unity.git

Hi @pliski -- were you pulling the main branch when you received this error? I'm a little confused because, looking at .gitmodules, the URL is correctly formed already?

[pliski]

Hi @mvandervoord I'm pulling from https://github.com/throwtheswitch/cexception.git.

That's curious. The main branch hasn't had that dependency in a long time. It doesn't rely on any gitmodules these days. You can optionally install ceedling to run the self-tests, but the two files in lib are really the only things you need.

As things stand now, the issue not only makes CExteption itself unusable (via git), but also all projects that use CException via the modules mechanism.
