Updating my local git workspace I've run into this problem after git
pull on master:

llc[214]$ git submodule update
fatal: reference is not a tree: 38039b3763f4457f913a006ad1621a476f9a721c

I've confirmed for libs/any that the referenced commit is present on
github, but it isn't retrieved by "git fetch" in the submodule
workspace, suggesting that it's no longer reachable from any head.

I'm guessing this might be related to the "hidden ref" part of the "free
to delete old branches" discussion, or maybe there just needs to be
another submodule update for these modules.
