You probably need to set the "module-link" configuration variable in
your cgitrc file.

Since it's possible for submodules to link to a different server, there
isn't really much CGit can do in the general case.  Note that there's
also "repo.module-link.<path>" in case your submodule paths don't match
up to their URLs, although I'm quite surprised we don't support a filter
to map submodule URLs to links - something to go on the TODO list
perhaps...
