Submodule failing to fetch unadvertised object #39

Open cgmcintyr opened 5 years ago

Seems a similar problem to #34

When I run git submodule update --init -depth 1 I get the following error:

Submodule 'otp' (https://github.com/erlang/otp) registered for path 'otp'
Cloning into '/home/cgm/devel/rust/enigma/otp'...
remote: Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
error: Server does not allow request for unadvertised object 9c35d42191003d1325ad99189d7327f87c9f6fd4
Fetched in submodule path 'otp', but it did not contain 9c35d42191003d1325ad99189d7327f87c9f6fd4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.

One fix for this is to change the ignore setting in .gitmodules to all:

[submodule "otp"]
    path = otp
    url = https://github.com/erlang/otp
    ignore = all

This means you have to explicitly git add otp to add submodule changes to a commit - avoiding accidentally committing a submodule change.
