[bitbake-devel] git submodule fetcher regression

[resend, this time with me being subscriber of bitbake-devel]

Hi,

It seems that 9c6b39adf978 ("fetch2/gitsm.py: Rework the git submodule fetcher") broke git submodules in some cases. My particular case is aktualizr from meta-updater (https://github.com/advancedtelematic/meta-updater). Fetching aktualizr reliably fails for me now:

ERROR: aktualizr-1.0+gitAUTOINC+a94a15e31f-7 do_unpack: Fetcher failure: Submodule tests/tuf-test-vectors does not exist in /home/ags/oe/downloads/git2/github.com.advancedtelematic.aktualizr/modules/tests/tuf-test-vectors or

ERROR: Task (/home/ags/oe/build-colibri-imx7/conf/../../layers/meta-updater/recipes-sota/aktualizr/aktualizr_git.bb:do_unpack) failed with exit code '1'

Any idea what that could be?
