This completely broke the gitsm fetcher behavior. It no longer uses the
previously fetched submodules from DL_DIR at all, instead the submodule
update is re-cloning them from upstream in do_unpack, violating our
conventions. Git checkout isn’t going to magically copy the existing
fetched submodules from DL_DIR.
