[boost] [GitHelp]TryModBoost gives fatal: reference is not a tree.

Subject: [boost] [GitHelp]TryModBoost gives fatal: reference is not a tree.

Trying the instructions here:

  https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost

resulted in an error at the `git submodule updata --init step.
How can this be corrected?

TIA.

Larry
