Instead of tracking the submodule at the specified branch, using a shallow clone, we get the following error:
fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'anotherbranch' at the same time. Did you intend to checkout 'origin/anotherbranch' which can not be resolved as commit? Unable to checkout submodule 'submodule' Noticed-by: Carlos Pita <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <[email protected]> --- Hi Carlos, I can reproduce your issue and have a patch which we can add to the testing suite to document this faulty behavior.
