Hey!

Thanks for taking care of this!

Currently, there are two possible fixes available:

1. git -c protocol.file.allow=always submodule update 2. git submodule--helper update

The latter seems to be an internal command which does not have any public facing documentation whereas the former option is more explicit.

There is a related bug report [2] and a TODO list draft [3] for updating the affected packages.

I will be updating the VCS guidelines [4] to use the first proposed solution if it all looks good.

I think option 1 is fine. Staying clear of internal implementation details is generally a good idea! -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
